Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Suriname, formed according to OpenStreetMap data. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB

The map was led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m). Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data.

Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 14.5.5 has been developed. In the new version, tools for working with the layer tree of vector map objects have been expanded, the list of operations for formula-type semantics has been expanded, modes have been added for processing multipolygons, multilines and multipoint objects. New tasks "Calculation of reserves of solid minerals", "Drawing of image on raster" have been implemented, controls for displaying sea charts of the S52 standard have been added, taking into account the features of a vessel with a navigation system, and a block of geodetic and cadastral tasks has been refined. The possibilities of using TrueType fonts as the signs for filling polygons or designing linear objects have been expanded.

In the "Map Editor" task, the "Splitting a multiobject into simple objects" mode has been added. The mode is intended for splitting objects with complex metric (multipolygons, multilines, multipoint objects) into simple objects of appropriate localization. To process several objects, you must first select objects using the search and selection dialog, or using interactive modes: by area, by type of selected object, and others.

The mode "Auto shapes - Form a quarter in the city" has been improved. The ability to process multipolygons has been added, the points of the template (cutter) have been matched with the points of new objects created as a result of processing. The list of operations for semantics of the "numerical formula" type and for the mode "Calculations on semantics of selected objects" in the Map editor task has been expanded. There is added the operation "%" - Modulo division. The operation can be used, for example, when you need to get the last few numbers of some identifier for different semantics and signature text: 73025679 % 10000 = 5679.

The dialogs "Map contents" and "Map object search" have been improved. On the "Layers" tab, the ability to set the availability of classes in the conditions for displaying/searching for objects has been added. Classes are layers of lower level which together with base layers form a multilevel tree of layers. The division of objects into layers and classes makes it possible to describe the classification of objects of any hierarchy. For change of availability of a layer or a class it is necessary to press the left mouse button on the status icon of the chosen element or press the space bar. For the convenience of a finding the necessary layer/class, a search by partial coincidence of the name has been added. To move to the next or previous search result, you can use the "arrow up" and "arrow down" keys, as well as the corresponding modes next to the search line. The search line is activated using the key combination "Ctrl+F".

Into the list of applications, the task "Drawing of image on raster" has been added, which is intended for updating a part of an image of a raster tablet. During the execution of the task, a raster is created by copying the source file with the subsequent updating the selected area with an image of another raster that is part of the document. The characteristics of the output raster with the updated image (geospatial binding, element size in meters on the ground) will fully correspond to the parameters of the source raster. The task is intended for use in the technology of updating raster tablets in spatial data collections. The task is run from the "Run Applications" dialog in the "Transforming rasters" group.

In the main menu "View" the item "Parameters for displaying nautical maps of the S52 standard" has been added, taking into account the features of the vessel on which the navigation system is installed. When you select this menu item, a dialog opens in which you can change the parameters for displaying sea maps: safe depth, safety contour, shoal contour, depth contour, depth gradation, shoal filling, isolated hazards in shallow water, the language of the displayed titles. The made changes are saved in the main ini-file of the application and are automatically applied to a current session of the user.

"Complex of 3D analysis" has been improved, designed to create surface models and solve problems of spatial analysis using the constructed models. The task "Calculation of reserves of solid minerals" has been added into the "Prognosis" panel. The task is designed to assess the reserves of minerals in a warehouse, or mineral resources in the development of deposits by open pit. The task calculates the volume and weight of a mineral within the selected area of calculation using the matrix of heights of the surface of the selected area of the warehouse or deposit on the ground.

The type of mineral for calculation is specified in the "Minerals" list. There is a possibility of changing the volumetric weight of the selected mineral, and also possibility of addition and deleting of the list elements.

The matrix of absolute heights determines the surface's configuration of the calculation area. The resulting volume is calculated within the specified calculation area using the surface's heights of the selected area and the heights of the bottom level of the mineral. The height of the lower level can be set in the corresponding field or using the "Select point on map" button. By default the value of a step is equal to the size of an element of elevations matrix of a surface of the selected area. If necessary, the calculation step can be changed. The calculation area is set using the buttons in the "Calculation area" group. As the calculation area, you can select: all region, a rectangular area, a contour of an object, and an arbitrary contour.

"Classifier Editor" has been improved. In the "Fonts" tab, the display of the full set of characters of the selected font has been added. This feature allows you to evaluate the style and completeness of the font - the presence of digital characters, characters of Latin, Cyrillic and other language groups, as well as signs of symbolic fonts. The dialog for editing a vector symbol has been improved. When entering text elements of a symbol, the ability to select font characters that are not available on the keyboard has been added. Symbolic font characters are selected using the "Symbol from TrueType Font" dialog. To increase the information content of the table of elements of the symbol, the display of the font name of the text element has been added. Vector symbols can be used as independent elements for displaying conventional map symbols or as design elements: when filling areal one with symbols regularly and in a checkerboard pattern, when displaying vector symbols by points of contours metrics, vector symbols along contours or set of elements from various alternating vector symbols.

Module "Geodesy editor" has been improved. The procedure for calling interactive help on using the program has been changed, the help system sections have been updated. For the group of modes "Well calculations", a demo example of data has been updated, providing the constructing a 3D view of a bush of wells. Using the "Building a three-dimensional map" mode allows you to visually analyze the intersection of the boreholes of one or more bushes.

Module "Cadastral documents" has been improved. In the dialog of the mode "Correction of registry errors", on the page "General information", as well as in section 2.1 of the report, the "Name of the federal state budgetary institution subordinate to the registration authority" has been replaced with the PPK "Roskadastr". The change was made in connection with the reorganization of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "FKP Rosreestr" into the public law company "Roskadastr". Changes have been made in the report template in section 2.1, instead of "Name of the federal state budgetary institution subordinate to the registration authority" is indicated "Name of the branch the PPK "Roskadastr". The "Forest declaration" mode has been improved. Record into the xml document of the value "w\n" has been corrected. An extra column has been removed from the "Appendix 2 (stuff)" table, which is not used either when exporting to xml or to docx. In the "Lands survey plan version 6" mode, to write the information of the attached image of the document about the category of land in pdf format into the XML document, the recording of the AppliedFilePDF element is implemented instead of AppliedFile. When specifying the boundaries of land plots, there is corrected an error of search and an insert of number (name) of a point and recording the coordinates with the OldOrdinate and NewOrdinate pairs, if position of a characteristic point is specified.

The new version of the program is available for download on the Download page.

Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson on using the mode "Sign the shortest distance to selected features". This task is available to users in the programs "Workstation of cadastral engineer", GIS "Panorama" and "Panorama-editor". The considered mode is intended for drawing the dimensional lines on the map corresponding to the shortest distance from selected objects to specified linear object.

The training video shows the automatic creation of line features and their length labels. Before performing the task, you should first select the objects on the map for which you need to sign dimension lines. The program calculates the shortest distances in a straight line from the border of the selected objects to the specified map object. The calculated distance value is written into the semantics of a linear object.

You can get acquainted with the training materials in the "Video lessons" section.

Specialists of KB "Panorama" prepared and placed the map of the Republic of Komi on the geoportal "Bank of spatial data". The map was formed using OpenStreetMap data. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The map was led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m) and was saved into a packed project (MPTZ). The MPTZ format project includes a digital map of the region's territory (country, subject of the federation, administrative region), a map of the administrative-territorial division of the region and a digital classifier. Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a video lesson on importing documents from the Unified State Register of Real Estate (EGRN) and working with multi-objects. Users of the "Workstation of a cadastral engineer", GIS "Panorama" or "Panorama-editor" can quickly process and visualize data from EGRN extracts, cadastral plans of the territory, cadastral passports and cadastral extracts issued by Rosreestr in the format of an electronic document, using the tasks of the block "Cadastral documents". The generated digital cadastral map (DCM) can be used by cadastral engineers to prepare land-survey and technical plans.

The training material demonstrates the work of the task "Reading the cadastral plan of the territory and updating the map". Obtaining cadastral information from the EGRN is carried out upon request on the public services portal of the body authorized to maintain the EGRN, or in the territorial divisions of Rosreestr. The result of the request is an XML document of the established structure defined by the XML schema. GIS "Panorama" supports a reading and processing files according to the actual XML schemas posted on the official website of Rosreestr. Loaded data can be represented as multi-objects. There is demonstrated a procedure for splitting such objects into component parts and combining them into a data set that combines several external contours of one land plot using the task "To create a set: section and its external contours".
