Overview
The Utility Map Generator provides self-service multi-page mapping with high quality layouts for utility staff. This solution helps to eliminate standard requests to the utility mapping department by allowing users to create their own map books. This helps to streamline processing requiring printed maps, such as leak surveys.
Using the Utility Map Generator, utility staff are able to select a map layout and define a map area. A geoprocessing model is then used to create a multi-page Adobe PDF map book based on the user's request.
