Mapping Systems Integration

Web mapping applications and Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) have become over the past decade more and more widespread and accessbile to the general public.

In our company we have successfully applied the expertize we already had with image processing and digital geometry in developing rich integrations with various mapping systems. We are familiar and have worked with most of the GISs available on the market in accomplishing the most demanding requirements. Following there are some details about but some of the systems we have become acquainted with.


Google Earth

Google Earth is the first and most popular virtual globe application (i.e. a 3D software representation of the Earth). Aside from the standard viewing capabilities it supports representing many different views on the surface of the Earth such as geographical features, man-made features or abstract representations of demographic quantities.

The downloadable samples below present some basic Google Earth integrations features we are familiar with.

  • Embedding Google Earth maps
    This video shows in action an ActiveX control that can be used to embed the Google Earth map within your own desktop application. In the demonstration the control itself is hosted inside the ActiveX Control Test Container application.

Google Maps

Google Maps is the free web mapping technology provided by Google that can power map-based services embedded in your site. Technically, Google Maps is based on the JavaScript and XML technologies and is thus higly extensible and customizable. The underlying API that Google provides allows for the use of this technology for a very large number of purposes. For example, you could use Google Maps to document locations relevant to your business, give accurate driving instructions to your customers or even support complex geographical simulations.

Our company has a thorough expertise in using this technology to

  • define and plan routes
  • edit geographical data
  • compute custom geographical parameters
  • implement various other custom features in websites

The example below allows site-users to create and describe locations on top of a geographical map. Such a feature could be further expanded to allow saving each user's locations on a server so that they could be reloaded when the user returns
