So to catch up a little, here's some info on a very exciting new feature on our GIS website - you are now able to search for an address in Napier and view the results in Google Earth!
So what do you need to access this service? For starters you will need an internet connection (if your reading this youv'e already got that!). Next you will need Google Earth installed on your computer - you can download from Google for free!
The address searching is activated via our "Online Services", or more specifically the "KML Services" page (KML is the technology that allows you to retrieve GIS data direct from us over the internet, and display the data in Google Earth).
Once on the KML Service page, simple type in your address and click the Find button...
Tip - You don't need to type in the address suffix (e.g. Road, Avenue, Street, etc)
The page is refreshed with a link to the KML file required for Google Earth, click the link to open Google Earth...
The address will be displayed as a yellow push pin in Google Earth.
Clicking the Yellow Push Pin will display information about that address as well as provide links to Rates Information, Building Consents and Resource Consents.
