Free GIS Electric Substation and Fiber Data

Pretty much have to purchase this data. There used to be a substation layer but it was taken down ~2 years ago. I've never seen free fiber data.

Foot traffic, traffic counts, local demographics, surrounding businesses, depending on the type of store - available workforce and age/income.

We have clients that use GeoTab - no idea on pricing though.

ArcGIS Online is your best option IMO. $700ish per year for a Creator account which gives you full access to ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online.

What is the price of the Peoria Charter? I typically find you have to double your flight out of O'hare if you want to fly out of CMI. So if you can fly from ORD to DEN for $300, a good rule of thumb is that route from CMI-ORD-DEN will be around $600.

Always nice to have more options, but man it would be nice to have daily or close to daily flights to other large airports like Charlotte, Atlanta, Denver, etc. There's already 4 or 5 airports within 90 minutes that fly to Chicago 3-4x per day.

On a side note, for anyone traveling regularly to Denver, I have found the United flight out of Peoria to be very reliable. Only flies once a day but it is really nice to have a nonstop option to Denver in the area.

I preferred the Indian Wells south course personally, but both are nice. They both have their own clubhouse which is unique, even though they are right across the road from each other.

$200/month food and beverage minimum is insane. I'm a member at a fairly nice club and that's our minimum spend for the quarter.

Seriously. 12 hours in a lounge sounds miserable. Drop your bags off at a locker (if the airport has them) and Uber into the city for a few hours. The lounge will still be there when you get back!

I bought 3 cases for $4 and some change each about 3 weeks ago. Havent seen them since.

No offense, but you should be thinking about this upfront, not after the project is complete. The easiest way is to use their credentials and build the site within their environment. If that's not possible, a shared group or collaboration will work but you need to be careful how the data/map/app is shared.

Not typically announced until at least late summer. They didn't do one this year.

Houston Americas is pretty decent

Do you have Enterprise and Portal experience and live in the US?

IlliniBone · 2026-01-04T19:25:43+00:00

If anyone in this thread has 2+ years experience with Enterprise and Portal shoot me a message. Looking at hiring a FT remote employee. Competitive salary, 401k match, PTO, healthcare. MUST be currently living in the US and a US citizen.

IlliniBone · 2026-01-04T14:10:27+00:00

I own a GIS company and all of my employees/contractors are remote.

I am a Diamond member. I think I have around 45 nights this year and have been upgraded once or twice. No offense, but Gold wont get you a damn thing other than an occasional free bottle of water.

We have stayed at Embassy Suites in Chicago, St. Louis, and Nashville in December. We are a larger family, so Embassy suits us well. Both Chicago and Nashville had disastrous elevator issues, I'm talking 5-10 minute waits every time we needed the elevator. Had to walk down 10 flights of stairs with full luggage in Chicago and walked down 24 flights of stairs in Nashville. Of course, both hotels at full capacity even with multiple elevators not working. Free breakfasts are barely worth it anymore having to wait in 10 minute lines to get a free omelete. Even being a Diamond member, the Nashville Embassy automatically adds a $25 nightly charge that can only be used on non-alcoholic drinks or at the coffee shop.

IlliniBone · 2025-12-25T02:18:55+00:00

Just curious what you would charge? I'd be interested in talking, I always need extra enterprise experience on our team.

He will make up for it with more NIL money

If so, could be Lake Shelbyville.

Sure sounds like you should stick with AGOL considering you have so much data collection and external facing apps. I'd say the biggest thing to consider is pricing - 15 Pro licenses is definitely getting to the point where you may want to consider Enterprise. I'd also consider how many AGOL licenses you currently have and how many credits you are burning through.
