BROWSE-A-MAP

.NET Web Mapping

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 managementReal-time co-ordinate and OS sheet references
  • Optional cross-hairs
  • Optional scale barOptional gridlines
  • Dynamic plot template placement
  • OS copyright and licence watermarking

  • 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 Fully featured search facility - matches, contains, sounds-like

There are:

  • No additional plug-ins
  • No 3rd party toolboxes
  • No downloads
  • No cookies
  • No special server requirements, other than the .NET framework

Also:

The whole application will fit, uncompressed, on a single floppy disc!!
The system is infinitely scaleable as it only makes .NET framework calls.
It can be deployed on free ISP servers.
Simple remote FTP administration provides easy installation and maintenance - no end user downloads or updates are necessary.
A modified version is available for Pocket Internet Explorer, bringing web based mapping to PDA devices.
