We are proud to present GoMaps Professional – our comprehensive, cloud-hosted solution, tailored to suit a wide array of GIS needs. This Geographic Information Systems application is perfect for use by local governments & small companies. Using the latest in custom maps technology, we are proud to offer a GIS product that is efficient and easy to use.

Members of any GIS department can quickly make use of GoMaps' user-friendly map interface. This application quickly facilitates GIS data searches, and is completely scalable and customizable, allowing you to find and present data seamlessly and effectively.

Moreover, the GIS drill down function allows you to zoom in, and identify a specific point on the custom map. From there, you can export the GIS data to an excel sheet, or print mailing labels, straight from the application. You can also print the map, add a title, and then export it as a JPG, PNG, or PDF file, now making it easier than ever to keep your maps on hand for quick reference. Additionally, the Spatial Bookmark function of the GIS GoMaps Application allows you to save frequently visited places. Now you can navigate entire custom maps with the a few clicks, which will take you through all of the important spots you need to quickly reference, such as local schools.

All of the custom maps within GoMaps are layered, meaning you now have the capability to display all of the layers provided for a specific area. For example, you may view city limits, water districts, fire districts, etc., separately, or all at once. Finally, GoMaps is merged with Google's street view, so that you can get right down to the ground level and look at things as if you were actually there.

The GoMaps application is an extremely versatile & effective GIS tool, sure to meet all your custom mapping needs. Here at ROK, we take great pride in providing Geographic Information Systems technology: all of your data, all in one place.

It is an exciting time for Geographic Information Systems altogether, and we're very happy that our friends from Onslow County, NC are taking the opportunity to utilize the full potential of ArcGIS.

The cached map services utilize ROK Technologies' cloud-based tile hosting service to ensure rapid delivery to the end users. GoMaps is an application developed and hosted by ROK.

“Recently, ROK Technologies updated our website to the ArcGIS server, and implemented the GIS application GoMaps. We have received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback. I had dreaded changing the website, because normally the public is resistant to change. However, with this change to a more effective Geographic Information System, I have been pleasantly surprised with the numerous compliments we have received. Over the past 14 years, we have worked on several projects with ROK, and they always go the extra mile to support us and aid us with all of our GIS needs. The entire ROK staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to work with. It has been a pleasure working with them through the years on various GIS issues, and I look forward to working with them on future projects as well."
