Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Arab Republic of Egypt, formed according to 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). 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 Complex of preparing documents of aeronautical information version 8.2.6 under the control of the GIS "Panorama" or GIS "Operator" has been developed. The new version expands the modes for formation of border design of aeronautical maps in accordance with the requirements of ICAO Doc 8697 ("Manual on Aeronautical Charts") and the AIP of the Russian Federation.

Dialogs for input of the information have been updated ("Input airports and heliports to database", "Input of obstacles, OCA/OCH sectors", "Maintaining the runway profile database") for maintaining a PostgreSQL database in two measurement systems (feet and meters).

In the program the list of the keywords used for filling templates with information from a database of the Complex in feet and meters has been expanded: airport elevation (ft/m), transition height, exceeding the threshold, absolute/relative height of flight over obstacles (OCA/H), the minimum safe height of flight in sector and others. The full list of keywords is given in the "System Programmer's Guide" document.

The Complex includes a set of templates for creating border designs for aeronautical maps. The template file is a user map in *.sitx format, created on the basis of the dfc.rsc classifier. Keywords are stored in the semantics of the object "Own name, signature text". The program allows the use of templates developed by the user in accordance with the recommendations set out in the document "Methodology of preparing for publication of a collection of aeronautical information".

The dialog "Interface for formation of marginal (out border) design and maps of section AD" has been improved. Function has been added for scaling the original map and map with border design, which allows you to model a displaying the scheme taking into account its size.

The "Map Editor" task, which is part of the GIS "Panorama", has been improved. A new mode "Auto-transfer of labels lines" has been added into the "Labels" mode group, designed to perform interactive formatting of multi-line labels texts on a map when designing templates. When changing the size of the label metric by moving its second point, the label text is automatically split into lines, which ensures that the overall text width corresponds to the specified size.

The complex of preparing documents of aeronautical information is a set of tools for maintaining an aeronautical data base, a modeling and analyzing the aeronautical situation, generating aeronautical maps and exchanging data with other information systems through export and import in the ARINC 424-19 exchange format and export in the AIXM 5.1 format. The task "Flight procedures design" is used to design the routes of departure, approach and landing and to analyze the safety of flights on them. The task "Assessment of compliance for aerodromes with the requirements FAR" is intended for the analysis of the aerodrome and the aerodrome environs for the suitability for operation and aircraft flights in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations.

The new version of the program, examples of aeronautical information documents, operational documentation, video lessons and presentations are available for download on the Download page.

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

In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama" version 15.1.0 has been developed for the OS "Astra Linux Special Edition", OS "Alt Linux", "RED OS" and Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 LTS. In the new version the modes of the map's editing task have been improved, support for the WebP format has been added, display of matrixes of heights and depths with smoothing has been accelerated. In the program the possibilities of import of the raster data are expanded, the library of programmable signs of aeronautical documents has been improved. The new version uses the libraries of the cross-platform Qt framework version 5.

The modes "Corner rounding", "Create bergstrich in point","Create double bergstrich on the closed contours" and "Creation of zone by object" of the "Autoshapes" group have been added into the task of editing vector maps. The "Corner rounding" mode is designed to give smooth shapes to the contours of objects by setting the radius of rounding corners by moving the mouse pointer. The modes "Create bergstrich in point" and ","Create double bergstrich on the closed contours" are intended for the automatic formation of berghishes (indicators of the direction of the slope) on selected relief's objects (horizontals) of the map. Their location on the horizontal is determined automatically (in places farthest from geometric center of the selected object). The metric of the created object is formed automatically perpendicularly to the selected object to the right of the digitizing direction of the selected horizontal. The length of created object is calculated according to the sizes specified for it in the digital classifier.

The "Building of a zone around the object" mode is used to perform parallel constructions. Editing can be performed in single mode (an object selected on the map) or group mode (a group of objects previously selected on the map or a logical set of objects). When working in single mode, the width of the created zone is set interactively on the map. During group processing, a dialog for requesting parameters of zone construction is displayed, in which the radius and type of the zone to be formed (rounded or with sharp corners) are set.

Connecting spatial data in Mbtiles, BIR, GeoPackage formats has been improved. The new version adds support for the Webp format, used to compress images in Mbtiles, BIR, GeoPackage databases and geoportals. The Webp format allows both lossy and lossless image compression. The format is based on algorithm of compression of the still image (key frame) from the VP8 video codec. Uses a RIFF container for storage. On average, it compresses images 40% more efficiently than the JPEG format. It is widely used for transmitting data and images in geoportals, due to its smaller volume, it allows to accelerate data transfer. There is added a new geoportal - Topographic maps of the world.

Drawing matrixes of heights and depths with smoothing has been accelerated. The display of smoothed matrixes is decomposed into threads, which significantly reduces delays when working with them. For example, on a 4-core processor with a clock frequency of 3.5 GHz, the speed of displaying the smoothed matrix increased by 2.5 times.

The task "Import of raster data" has been improved. Import of rasters of format MrSID (SID) and ECW has been added. Formats are used to compress raster graphics. By means of these formats, packed huge raster images such as aerial photography and satellite photos can be quickly viewed piecemeal without the need to unpack the entire file.

The library of programmable signs (dfc.iml64), used for preparing aeronautical documents with the dfc.rsc classifier, has been improved. The display of the MSA sign (minimum safe altitudes) has been improved in accordance with the requirements of ICAO (ICAO, International Civil Aviation Organization). The new programmable sign "Scheme of safe altitudes (MSA)" allows more flexible setting of parameters: size and thickness of the circle line, type and thickness of the course indicator line, parameters of fonts for course and altitude signatures, distance between two-line altitude signatures (spacing). The new sign has an adaptive algorithm of scheme construction that takes into account the sizes of the central element of the scheme, the course indicator and the height of the course font.

The new version uses the libraries of the cross-platform framework Qt version 5. As a result, in addition to domestic operating systems (Astra Linux, Alt Linux and RED OS), support has been added for one of the most popular modern distributions of the Linux family - Ubuntu (versions 20.04 and 22.04 with long-term technical support). Using Ubuntu as a desktop environment allows you to utilize the wide ecosystem of applications and tools available in this operating system's repository.
