Estonian Forest Registry in web

Estonian Forest Registry is finally accessible through web. New and attractive web-site will be released soon in cooperation with Regio webmap team (us :-) and Centre of Forest Protection and Silviculture.

New era in MapCat development

Map application for biggest internet portal in Baltics (Delfi) that brings us to new era is finally ready:



- try new drag'n'drop layer menu: order of layers is saved in cookies so you can personalize your menu, also the sequence of displaying symbols on top of the map is influenced by layers order.
- animated zoom: map is moving towards search results visualizing the access to an address, location or route.
- map navigation by using keyboard: pan, zoom in and out using just 'arrow' keys.
- search options and driving guidance: show all results as a list or use map bbox for filtering results; show all search-list items or line segments on the map and highlight them both on map or search-list.
- draw your own map and send it to your friend or save in your blog, web-site etc.
- ...and many-many more!

Application for Delfi is first customer project implemented by using technology developed within R&D project named GISSER funded by Enterprise Estonia.

KV real-estate chorophlet map

Estonian real-estate portal KV launched their new map search based on our MapCat Medium component. When choosing a deal type and parameters like price, number of rooms etc, map will be covered with vector layers of average m² price and property objects corresponding to the search preconditions. Useful tool for finding property via map.

Move Mis-Marked Addresses in Google Maps

Ever look up an address on Google Maps and find that the pushpin for that address is more than a bit off? Now you can edit where Google pinpoints addresses (provided you're logged into your Google account) by clicking the Edit link and dragging the pin to a more appropriate location.

Papervision3D Public Beta

Papervision is 3D engine released under the MIT Open Source litsense:

...It started as a simple way to transform MovieClips to achieve the 3D illusion. By changing their position, size, rotation and skew you could almost forgive the lack of perspective. But the latest version, fully optimised for Flash 8 Image API, uses triangle tesselation to distort textures. Now we can render complex objects in “real 3D”!

Is it allowed?

Many customers have asked, is it possible to use Google free API for applications like SeeMe launched lately. The answer is: NO, IT'S NOT ALLOWED! License says: "Except where you have been specifically licensed to do so by Google, you may not use Google Maps with any products, systems, or applications installed or otherwise connected to or in communication with vehicles, capable of vehicle navigation, positioning, dispatch, real time route guidance, fleet management or similar applications".

See also additional terms of Google API:
…Service may not be used: (a) for or with real time route guidance (including without limitation, turn-by-turn route guidance and other routing that is enabled through the use of a sensor), or (b) for, or in connection with, any systems or functions for automatic or autonomous control of vehicle behavior.

First application from our competitor in paper maps market

We have waited for years when the day comes our competitor in paper maps market starts to serve internet maps and build webmap applications. The day has come!

True, the first application is rather example of how a map application should not be built on 21th century. It's good illustration of architecture we tried to avoid starting development of MapCat SDK years ago (use together with LiveHTTPheaders sidebar). Still, it works somehow regardless some serious usability issues and probably next version will already be better. Potential competitor in Estonian market for some years and I hope it makes us stronger also :-) Worth to be blogged!

Some nice ideas how to build GUI for FriendFinder and make map more attractive and interactive:

...RadiusIM combines IM with location. It’s the only site that shows you where your friends are hanging out and lets you surf for other people based on location. It supports all the major networks: MSN, AIM/ICQ, Yahoo, and GTalk/Jabber. And you can use radiusIM from anywhere because there are no downloads.

Google Maps update in Baltic States

Google Maps has made a major update on Estonian and Lithuanian map data. Road and railway networks, forest areas, water bodies, place names and urban areas have been updated all over the countries. On all major cities are now street networks with name labels and directions that makes possible road navigation. Also green areas with names have been added to the map in those cities.
The data is claimed to be provided by TeleAtlas. Data seems to be two, three years old (e.g. Raadimõisa).
In Latvia only Riga seems to be updated with street level and railway data.

Still, at the moment, the update doesn't expand to maps created with Google Maps API so you can use it only on http://maps.google.com.

Also it's quite interesting that Google Maps has started to publish some aerial images with super zoom levels (by default zoom bar allows maximum zoom level 13, but some areas have now up to 23). Question of privacy? Google has been using also their own planes for aerial images.

Thematic map for QVIZ

This is our first prototype for QVIZ - map application capable of drawing thematic maps about time-spatial distribution of digitized historical documents. Polygon color refers to amount of items (historical resources) within search result. Developers can use map as a search filter/faceted query component (specify search by map parameters: bounding box, selected ploygon etc).

Google maps real-time tracking

Helsinki public transport mashup takes the locations of buses and trams in the Helsinki City transport network and plots their real-time location to a Google Map for you to watch, live!

Click on the vehicle and and the info-window gives you the option to show the route this it's traveling, plot the stops and also center the map on that bus/tram as it makes its way around the city. Watch the times to each stop as well. It's an invaluable tool to Helsinkians or tourists, as well as fun and addictive to watch for the rest of us! Very nicely done! [Via GoogleMapsMania]


Google Mapplets: Mashups Of Mashups

R&D activities

To sustain the competitive advantage of our products and technology, Reach-U/Regio spends substantial amount of the revenue on R&D.

We participate in number of EU FP6 projects (Motive, Wisecom, QVIZ) and also we’ve got lots of support from Enterprise Estonia foundation to develop new technologies (Gisser, Logisme, others). Our team is responsible for two of them:

GISSER
The aim of GISSER is to work out GIS server of new era and user interfaces for mobile phones and web with high usability and animation support. Animated may be layers on the map and map handling but also the map itself (streaming river). For achieving this aim we cooperate with scientists at many disciplines like psychologists, geographers, computer scientists and design students.

Contact riho@regio.ee for futher discussions (cooperation proposals etc).

QVIZ
The aim of QVIZ is to give better visualization tools for cultural heritage institutions and resources like archives, museums etc. Visualizing time-spatial connections between historical events on the map offer better access tools for scientists as well as for for wider population.

Estonian Breeding Bird Atlas

New version of Estonian Breeding Bird Atlas based on MapCat Medium and flashtile technology. Nowadays birdwatch and data collecting is based on 5x5 km UTM squares but as 10x10 had been used before 2003 then follow-up project is planned before 2010 (end of the project). The aim of this project is to make those data comparable (generalization of data collected based on 5x5 will be done). Today only data collected 2003 and later is published.

EMT oma andmeuuenduse liides

Kunagi aastaid tagasi tegi Rainer EMT-ile Mynearest baasile on-line andmete uuendamise liidese. See tundub tänini töötavat http://lbs.emt.ee/LBData/ aadressil (kasutajanimi: regio, parooli ei julge siia panna :). Vt põhilehtede screenshotid comments alt, et funktsionaalsusest aimu saada. Liides on eelkõige tekstipõhine, ja kaardile saab detailide juurest vaid vaatamiseks.

Asi oligi mõeldud vanade objektide kustutamiseks ja nimede/kirjelduste parandamiseks, mitte niiväga kaardil uute andmete lisamiseks. Viimane on muide samas võimalik, kuid asukoht käib geokodeerimisega: pärast tekstiandmete (sh aadress) sisestust vajutad nupule "geokodeeri" ja ta annab aadressile automaatselt leitud vasted, millest saab siis õige valida. Ei mingit kaardil zoomimist ega klikkimist.

GeoURL

Erki leid:

Selline asi siis arendamisel, et asukohti saaks linkida veebibrauserites. Sarnaselt „mailto:” lingiga brauserites hakkaks toiminuma „geo:” link, mis avab sinu lemmikkaardirakenduse ja näitab soovitud asukohta

http://geouri.org/

Juba on ka välja antud esimene selline laiendus Firefox’le ning vaikimisi suunatakse google map’le.

Näiteks Tallinnasse saaks suunata nii:

geo:59.437782,24.754697

HTML’s 59.437782,24.754697 '>geo:59.437782,24.754697

GIS baastarkvara vs vabavara

Jutt Esri võimekusest ja võimetusest internetiGIS vallas, blog kust leiab mõndagi huvitavat:
Are we begining to see a shift away from ESRI Server backend to Open Source solutions?
