Trippish.com

Map Compare

Neeme sent us comparison of applications side by side last week, I put this into our blog as well:
- Google Maps
- MS Virtual Earth
- Yahoo maps

Map Compare allows you to evaulate which mapping technologies is best. All three maps are locked together so panning, zooming and changing map types will effect all maps the same. You can also use the tab pane to try out various map features like; markers, popups as well.

Base maps

We use our web-mapping technology as core GIS component inside Regio/Reach-U AVL and LBS solutions that is sold worldwide through Ericsson channels. Full set of solution consists of applications, GIS engine, integration work and maps including data management work.

Some examples of base maps:
Map of Saudi-Arabia and new zoom-bar
Estonian maps within Visitestonia.com map application
Latvia (street level maps it towns 1:10.000, base map 1:50.000, ca. 315. 000 address points)
Europe general (1:500.0000)
Ukraine
Marocco
Mexico

Joystick for map navigation

Interesting sample of interactive mapping application created for Wilhelm Farby Museum in Germany. It is a cool tourism map with an alternative approach to features like:

- map navigation through a joystick;

- several bird's-eye views;
- 360 degrees views of some POI's (also vertical axis);
- image gallery in info- window;
- original ruler and area tools;

Another app with atypical realization is Geowalk combining Flash menus and AJAX maps.
