NWT Geoscience Office Launches A New Online Reference Tool: NT GoData April 28, 2010 - NT GoData is the NWT Geoscience Office’s (NTGO) latest online research tool offering clients a new way to explore NTGO’s vast geoscience database collection. NT GoData provides all the same database query functions available in NTGO’s popular NT GoMap online mapping application, without the robust map interface. Although NT GoMap is a popular and useful research tool, it requires a broadband Internet connection to use effectively. Some of our remote clients with low-bandwidth dialup and satellite-based service have had difficulty using the NT GoMap application. NT GoData is optimized for low-bandwidth usage, providing much faster query and reporting performance. To access NT GoData, simply click on the NT GoData button on the NTGO website at http://www.nwtgeoscience.ca. Online help is available by clicking on Help for first time NT GoData Users.
