Delaware & Raritan Canal Community Photo Album
and Interactive Map
With technology today, you can easily create a map of your favorite place. However, many of the maps available are static, scanned versions of paper maps. While they are useful, what do you do if you want to add photos and text to your map and share it with others?
The Delaware & Raritan Canal community photo album and interactive map site (www.ilovegeography.com/dnrcanal) provides a fun and easy way to share your photos, text, and label your favorite places. This site was conceived by Wansoo Im, Ph.D. of Vertices, LLC and Patrick Meola of the MLUC. Katharine Fatton volunteered her time to collect the initial data using a GPS unit on loan from the NJDEP/BGIS’s Lou Jacoby.
Hikers, cyclists, students, teachers or naturalists can easily share their favorite places along the Delaware and Raritan Canal by participating in this exciting new project. So grab your digital camera and document and discover the wonder that is the Delaware and Raritan Canal.
