Initial land information inquiries will no longer need to pass through city hall staff which will increase efficiency in city operations. It also increase transparency of city operations to bring current and accurate parcel and tax information to residents, developers, real estate agents and potential buyers 24 hours a day. The government also uses it to enhance the management of municipal information.

From online tax maps, to 911 emergency response, accurate mapping and the use of geospatial data has become commonplace. The introduction of GIS in the municipal space has spurred the creation of GIS/Planning Departments that use geospatial data generated from many different GIS software. The Blue Marble Desktop will support many different GIS data types (raster and vector) and can efficiently serve as the all-in-one solution in terms of data conversion.

Charles Picquet, a french geographer,,created a map based on representation of Cholera epidemiolody in Paris. He used different halftone colour gradients to represent the 48 different districts of Paris.
