GLA use InstantAtlas
The Greater London Authority (GLA) recently took advantage of SASPAC's discounted version of InstantAtlas to publish their annual 'London Borough Stat-pack' report as interactive maps. The Stat-pack is produced by Data Management & Analysis Group (DMAG) and provides a wide range of borough level data across different themes as a leaflet and accompanying CD. The interactive maps can be seen here (requires an Internet browser compatible with Flash viewer) and more details on how to upgrade from IA for SASPAC (released with v9.00) to the full version are available from the helpdesk.

Entitled "Helping to shape tomorrow" the report can be downloaded from the ONS website, along with a press release. The paper sets out the proposed questions to be asked on Census day (27 March 2011) and provides an overview of the collection, processing and publication plans.
