  Scottsdale’s 2008 “City on a Disk” now available



Scottsdale has released its “City on a Disk 2008” compact disc with aerial photos of the city and surrounding areas. The CD features photos taken in November 2007 covering more than 260 square miles.

The CD, which sells for $25, is available at several city locations, including the planning records area located on the first floor of One Civic Center, 7447 E. Indian School Road. The CD also is available at Scottsdale’s Citizen Service Centers. For locations and hours, call (480) 312-3111.

The City on a Disk CD provides perspectives that range from a bird’s eye view of neighborhoods to an aircraft’s view, thousands of feet overhead. Maximum resolution is 2 feet per pixel -- sharp enough to see the general features of a typical residential lot.

Simple viewer programs are included on the CD for computers running Windows and Mac OS X/Safari. As a value-added resource, the CD also includes sample data from Scottsdale’s internationally recognized Geographic Information Systems Division, and useful links to the city's Planning Department Web pages. Using GIS software, you can create and view maps that combine the citywide image with information such as streets, zip codes, school districts and more. All software, documents, and other data are easy to download and install.

In addition to the “City on the Disk” CD, Scottsdale offers an internet-based Digital Map Center, on the city’s web site at: http://eservices.scottsdaleaz.gov/dmc/default.aspx


The Digital Map Center provides access to the following maps:
