hyperGIS: GIS file format to flash applications
// November 28th, 2007 // 1 Comment » // Databases, GIS
Introduction
hyperGIS enables you to publish geographic information to Flash enabled browsers and devices. Data layers created in hyperGIS can be edited directly in a web browser for on-line geocoding applications.
The system is vector based, utilising the most ubiquitous vector technology on the internet and mobile devices, Adobe Flash. This gives hyperGIS many of the advantages of vector based GIS (small file sizes, attributes on map objects, high quality printing), without the need for a dedicated plug-in. Flash is pre-installed on over 98% of web browsers and a growing number of PDA’s and mobile phones*.
hyperGIS is suitable for wide deployment applications such as Location Based Services, information portals, real estate, government agency internet and intranet presentations, basically anywhere where geographic information needs to be available fast and dynamic over a network.
Any GIS format can be converted to a hyperGIS database. When you publish your GIS files in hyperGIS you can preserve an objects attributes for use in all manner of client side calculations and visualisations.
hyperGIS editors are typically 100% web based for remote creation and maintenance of content. They can be integrated with CMS (Content Management System) for seamless site management set-ups. (more…)
