To find out more about MAGIC, visit the home page. It is presented in an interactive map which can be explored using the various mapping tools that are included. The information covers rural, urban, coastal and marine environments across Great Britain. It provides geographic information about the natural environment from across government. Natural England manage the MAGIC website under the direction of a steering group. The availability of data is best in England, but some resources cover Great Britain. MAGIC stands for Multi-Agency Geographic Information for the Countryside, and it tries hard to live up to its name. If you want to create crisp-looking maps without the fuss of traditional GIS, or if you have a lot of geographic data you'd like to explore visually, Magic Maps is the tool for you.Do you want to know about the location of sites of special scientific interest, the distance between two places on a road or footpath, registered common land boundaries or to measure the area of a plot of land – we could go on? But the answer is almost certainly to be found in MAGIC. Show the whole world with a Winkel Tripel projection, or reduce distortion with an equal area or conformal projection. Magic Maps lets you choose and customize the map projection. Choose custom colors, point shapes, and line widths to create the look you want. Map layers can be managed similar to layers in Photoshop: simply drag to rearrange, check a box to add a drop shadow, use the slider to change opacity. Maps created with Magic Maps have a signature, high-quality look because the program is built from the ground up using Apple's Core Graphics technology.
