What is the Civic Navigator?

The Civic Navigator is an affordable web-based open platform and set of powerful services that mesh together, organize and present the entire spectrum of interactive maps, data visualizations and records that underpin urgent local issues.

What's the Problem?

American communities are hard at work.  Stabilizing housing markets. Upgrading infrastructure. Repairing ecological systems. Putting people back to work. Much remains to be done.

To be most effective however, people in communities need data-driven evidence to inform wise decisions they must make going forward, and to show positive changes taking root where they live.

Maps are key to understanding our world. Good data becomes meaningful when visualized. Records become meaningful in context.

We need a 21st Century upgrade to these long-time navigational instruments that have always helped us figure out where we are, how to get where we want to be, and wind up in one piece.

What Can I Build?

The Civic Navigator builds highly interactive online presentation products. You can place them anywhere — any website, Facebook, You Tube, and much more.

Help your community visualize, quantify and qualify problems, strengths and opportunities, using common data sets such as these and many more:
