GEOLocate Developer Resources



   GEOLocate based web services for georeferencing were introduced in 2005. These services enable software developers to integrate georeferencing directly in their databases and applications. The Specify 6 collections management application is one such application utilizing these services to give its users direct access to georeferencing without having to export & import data or run additional software.

Use our webservices to provide georeferencing capabilities in your own applications.  You can obtain a current listing of our available services here.
