MapData Sciences Pty Ltd (MDS) has developed a new service for NSW Maritime, enabling commercial and recreational boat users to quickly and easily locate their nearest NSW Maritime service.
Enter a land address or waterway and the visitor is able to instantly locate their nearest NSW Maritime office, boat ramp, petrol pump or sewerage pumpout facility.
NSW Maritime approached MDS to help them present their vast amount of information via a simple search facility. With all their locations "pin pointed", MDS was then able to provide a mapping interface that instantly displays the search results onto a map.
The initial concept was to provide better customer service by assisting people find their nearest NSW Maritime office. As discussions continued, the service expanded to include additional features such as the boat ramps and where fuel and sewerage services would be available.
The final application provides users of the NSW waterways with access to the rich content that will greatly increase the boating experience.
