1:1,000,000 World Shoreline
Posted: July 31st, 2008, 6:14pm CEST by lxnyce
Tags: data_sharing
Mr Minton writes " I am not against a good resolution world shoreline. In my personal GIS, I have four world shorelines. They are: 1) 1:2,000,000 2) 1:250,000 WVS 3) 1:63,500 NGA PGS 4) 1:1,000,000 VMAP0. They all serve a purpose. I use the 1:2,000,000 for global and multi-country projects. The 1:250,000 WVS is used for most of my preliminary work on islands. For example, to locate individual islands and island group. Since I've loaded NGA PGS vectors, they have become my default layer for small island preliminary digitizing projects. I get to study the island prior to working on it in Global Mapper. Now, I have 1:1,000,000 VMAP0 world shorelines. They will most probably replace much of my use of 1:2,000,000 shorelines." -

Virtual Environment Planning System
Posted: July 31st, 2008, 4:28pm CEST by lxnyce
Tags: 3D
From the Spatial Sustain blog : "One of the more interesting presentations that I saw at GeoWeb was about the creation of a 3D City Model for Public Participation. The presentation by Jürgen Bogdahn of the University of Applied Science in Stuttgart detailed a planning prototype that combined 2D and 3D visualization with comments linked to the map. The case study involved noise simulation maps, a European Union mandated analysis effort, with simulation for time of day. The interface presented some potential development plans, and citizens could comment specifically on the map representation and presentation, pinpointing location and allowing search on comments via the map view. The system is called the Virtual Environment Planning system, and was designed to integrate environmental simulation for noise and flooding impacts to give residents a better knowledge of the environmental impacts. The system also gives residents a better understanding of alternate planning proposals and empowers them to provide input the outcome."Read more of this story at Slashgeo.

ERDAS APOLLO: Connecting Earth to Business
Posted: July 31st, 2008, 4:22pm CEST by lxnyce
Tags: theindustry
From the ERDAS website : Many geospatial data providers and those in the public sector and civil engineering, oil, gas and land management industries work with a wide variety of geospatial data types distributed across departments, offices and regions. ERDAS APOLLO solves the business problems associated with managing and serving large volumes of geospatial data located and distributed across an organization. An alternative to existing market solutions, ERDAS APOLLO simplifies the utilization of vector, raster and terrain data. Supporting numerous geospatial data formats, ERDAS APOLLO seamlessly integrates with existing GIS environments and business applications.Read more of this story at Slashgeo.
