ViewFinder by InfoMapper - Making school surveys and Travel Planning easy!
ViewFinder by InfoMapper is a partnership between the National Children's Bureau and WebBased and is endorsed by Sustrans. You can read about the range of features in the sections below.
Online surveys and data analysis
ViewFinder by InfoMapper provides online pupil survey tools that make collecting and analysing data about routes to school easy.
Along with Safe Routes to School surveys, you will also be able to take part (and access data) for other national and local surveys.
This online tool will make creating your annual School Travel Plan easy.
By working through a range of questions, your plan will be built in stages and will automatically include the results of pupil based surveys.
If your school is part of a Local Authority that uses the ViewFinder by InfoMapper Gateway you will be able to access locally specific advice and questions when completing your survey.
ViewFinder by InfoMapper's mapping capability
Because ViewFinder by InfoMapper has powerful yet intuitive mapping tools you will be able to view individual survey results plotted on OS maps.
Pupils are also able to draw their route to/from school on a map or aerial photograph. You can then include maps in your School Travel Plan with annotations, survey results and routes to/from school.
