Take Advantage <strong>of</strong> Google’s New Mapping Technology and<br />
Partnership with <strong>Watertown</strong>!<br />
A partnership that began between Google and LATI as a unique new<br />
way <strong>of</strong> mapping the campus has now expanded to include the City<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Watertown</strong>. Google’s new mapping technology involves uploading<br />
business floor plans to map buildings city-wide. With the project still in<br />
the developmental stages, the future possibilities are endless.<br />
Currently, about 25 buildings are onboard and more are wanted! If you<br />
would like to include your building/business in the mapping project,<br />
please email coc@watertownsd.com or call 886-5814 for more<br />
information.<br />
