    What they're doing with the GIS data doesn't really require much from the GIS besides geolocation and retrieval. Open Source GIS packages do this nicely at the perfect price (usually just patience due to the lack of documentation). If they needed routing, topology-awareness or robust editing capabilities, they probably would have turned to ESRI.

    I love Represent. I've been thinking about doing this for NJ for a while and I better get on it soon.
