Previous mention of the ICA website (GIM, August 2009) informed readers of the appearance on the site of Proceedings of all International Cartographic Conferences, from the nineteenth (Ottawa, 1999) to the twenty-third (Moscow, 2007). These are now joined by Proceedings of our most recent 2009 ICC in Santiago. The website itself is a dynamic resource and the premier advertisement of ICA to the world: the site is regularly updated to effectively communicate ICA work and output. It is hosted on behalf of ICA by the Cartography Research Group, part of the Institute of Geoinformation and Cartography at the Technical University of Vienna, Austria, where ICA vice-president Professor Georg Gartner and his excellent team of webmasters, Felix Ortag and Manuela Schmidt, are responsible for the outstanding design and maintenance of the site.

Using Total Stations for Indoor Radiation Mapping |
|
A total station can be used for many applications. Oak Ridge Associated Universities (USA) uses a total station for indoor radiation characterisation, which enables the team to better perform environmental assessments. This video shows how it is done.

The website functions as a repository of standard information about ICA, both for those new to it (the Home page details the ICA mission and recent and forthcoming activities) and those interested in the minutiae of its organisation (Statutes, Strategic Plan and other documentation listed under The Association tab). Acting as Association record-keeper, the website News section holds every copy of ICA News (the Association's biannual newsletter) since the start of the millennium, along with an archive of news items. One recent innovation to grace the News section is the Map of the Month, which provides a showcase for cartographic products of excellence. Map of the Month items will initially comprise prizewinning entries from the International Map Exhibition held at each ICC: maps from the 2009 Santiago ICC are currently being selected. However, the range of products displayed may be expanded to include those created by ICA Affiliate Members, important supporters of ICA whose section of the website has been expanded to allow them to further promote themselves.
