System Requirements

UrbanFootprint is accessed via a web page. For access, there are fairly minimal requirements:

  • A relatively recent (purchased in last 5 years) desktop or laptop computer running the Windows, Mac OSX, or Linux operating systems. The current system has not been optimized for tablet or touchscreen operating systems or interfaces.

  • Current version of Google Chrome web browser. Chrome is available via free download at https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/

  • Mouse, track-ball, or trackpad-based input device (essentially all desktop or laptop computers have this capability).

Note: If you experience difficulties in performing feature editing (e.g., feature selection, querying, etc.) while being able to view maps on UrbanFootprint, first check your internet firewall configuration with local IT support. The URL of UrbanFootprint should be added to the trust list of firewall configuration in order to avoid block access by web filters set up locally.
