Browse-A-Map

Adopting a "pure" .NET principle, CDR has written a simple browser based interface, allowing users to view maps. The application has the facility to quickly pan, re-centre, zoom by marquee, find features and retrieve attribute information from data stored in various file formats (including ESRI shape, MapInfo TAB, TIFF/JPG Raster and even CDR’s STC25 sewer network files). Simple project files, analogous to workspaces or projects used in other systems, co-ordinate the mapping available to users.

Think of the possibilities - cost effective, centrally administered, web-based GIS data distribution - available to anyone who needs it, using nothing more than a standard web browser.

Features include: A dynamic ‘bird’s eye view’ facility, allowing users to navigate and keep track of their current position within the project Comprehensive layer management Real-time co-ordinate and OS sheet references Optional cross-hairs Optional scale bar Optional gridlines Dynamic plot template placement OS copyright and licence watermarking Previous view Zoom extents Password protected access User settings stored between sessions An effective ‘Help’ system End users only require Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher NEW Interactive reporting function NEW Spatial selection tools - "Find My Nearest".
