Travel Planning wizard

During last couple of month we've had great chance to cooperate with Affecto and develop TravelPlan map-wizard for a finnish tourism portal. Application uses maps, geocoding and routing services from GeniMapper platform (Affecto's mapserver service for Finland) and is built up using MapCat Medium software.

New prototype for route animation is ready, functionality is available for our customers through MapCat upgrade next moth (new version will be released soon):

Vector optimization demo

Using MapCat architecture it was sometimes tricky to quarantee quick client-server communication for vector data handling. Those times are history! New MapCat enables drawing vector data as quickly as raster handling, sometimes vector is even quicker (see the picture):

Newly discovered old one

Map for Biological Diversity web-page. NB! It was developed as early as 2004 (wasn't common approach then technically) and wasn't in active use couple of years but now it's quite living its own life :-)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

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.
