We have a lot of work today with our work to the Territory and Town Planning subject. My friends Silvia and Rocío and myself are in the same group, we must investigate the growing of the city centres in our area.
We use ours School maps, but we wanted to use another resources in Internet. We had very unpleasant experience. Let’s see this links:
- GIS service of CESGA(Galician Supercomputation Center): I couldn’t see anything because it requires the Flash plugin (obviously it sucks a lot)
- SigPac, dependent on Agriculture, Fishing and Food Office: it requires flash too but finally I downloaded the stinky plugin because I began to receive killing look of my friends. I could find no more information than Google Maps (and this doesn’t use flash and it’s faster)
- Urbanistic Planning of Xunta de Galicia and Official Association of Architects: this is the worst site I ever saw! The site were I must read the urbanistic law of the whole Galicia spits out me a message: “Microsoft Internet Explorer required” and don’t give us any information more!
Why we pay taxes to the govern 
?
(We could find a decent web page, the Virtual Land Registry, it is fast, give the right information, and doesn’t require no plugins, congratulations to the authors)
Update: SitGa: several maps servers of Xunta de Galicia: I installed the f*ck*ng flash plugin, the propietary and *bad documented* svg plugin of Adobe. It didn’t work, I only could get a web that says “IE 6.0 recommended”
I know that this is just a little patch, and that it doesn’t go to the root of the problem (somebody should tell those people of the urbanistic planning that a web only visible with IE is absolutely useless), but maybe you could find it useful:

It is a Firefox extension that basically allows you to fool the web server by telling him that you are IE.
I have tested it with that page and it works
