Adventure Cycling of Missoula, Montana introducing GIS mapping

Montana-based Adventure Cycling Association http://www.adventurecycling.org/ will produce its world-renowned cycling maps using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, the large North American outfit announced Monday.

Created specifically for cyclists, Adventure Cycling’s maps feature turn-by-turn directions, detailed inset maps for tricky sections, and elevation profiles for the high country. The maps are waterproof and sized to fit in a handlebar-bag window or jersey pocket.

"Our routes and mapping department has discussed GIS since about 2001," media director Winona Sorensen told BikeRadar. "Last year they were finally able to hire staff with this expertise."
