- The Washoe Regional Mapping System (WRMS) is a comprehensive web-based mapping application designed to utilize the latest web-mapping technology and to replace older legacy mapping applications. The Washoe Regional Mapping System provides up-to-date and relevant geographic information, tools, and documents to the public and to Washoe County staff. The Washoe Regional Mapping System will continue to be updated with new features, access to more data, and a basic API for developers.
- Map backgrounds are commonly referred to as basemaps and can be switched using the basemaps menu in the top toolbar. There are six available basemaps that can be switched at any time. When switching basemaps the previous one is removed and replaced with the selected basemap. When the application is closed, the last selected basemap will be the default the next time the map is visited.
