The DRECP Gateway is powered by web computing and runs on your computer using popular web browsers like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and later versions of Internet Explorer (version 9 and above). No download of proprietary software is required, making the system easily accessible from any location with an internet connection. The system is built around several different content types, including:
Groups are created by members to collaborate, negotiate, or conduct peer review around spatial data. Groups can be public or private. Browse DRECP Groups
Galleries are created to share spatial information in a cohesive collection. They are very useful for creating a digital atlas and organizing a set of related datasets and/or maps. Browse DRECP Galleries
Maps are created in the system and are comprised of basemaps, one or more datasets, and drawings if you choose. They can be kept private, shared with selected individual or groups, or open for anyone to see. Browse DRECP Maps
Datasets are individual spatial layers usually created using GIS. They can be visualized and analyzed in the Gateway and, in most cases, downloaded for use in desktop GIS software. Browse DRECP Datasets
