In KB "Panorama" the GIS "Panorama Mobile" version 1.4 for OS Android has been developed. In the new version the possibility for viewing detailed information about objects of vector maps has been added, change of a format of displaying coordinates, restoration of last open document and position have been implemented. The task of connecting geoportals has been improved, and the algorithms for processing and displaying data have been refined.

The GIS "Panorama Mobile" provides the ability to view detailed information about map objects. The new dialog displays basic information about the map object: the name of the object and layer, the object key in the classifier of conventional symbols, measurement characteristics (perimeter and area), as well as a list of object attributes. When the dialog opens, the display window is centered onto the object, and the object itself is highlighted with an outline. For convenience of positioning, it is possible to enter the sizes of an object into the visible map display area and center the visible map display area onto the center of the object.

Ability has been added to select a coordinate system and format of representation for displaying a position on the map. Regardless of the type of used map, the user can set the most suitable display parameters from among the popular coordinate systems: CS-42, WGS-84 and PZ-90.11. Rectangular (meters) and geodetic (radians, degrees, degrees/minutes/seconds) units of measurement can be used as a format for representing coordinates. This possibility together with use of the receiver of geonavigation data (GPS/GLONASS), allows you to receive the current location in a more informative form. To improve user interaction with the application, a saving the data state at the time of closing, support for changing screen orientation, and the ability to quickly navigate to a document have been added. When closing the data, as well as the application itself, the scale, current position, color model, brightness, contrast and other parameters are saved.

The improved task of connecting geoportals allows you to optimize the display of popular third-party sources of spatial data (OpenStreetMap, Yandex, KB "Panorama" and others) on mobile devices. The program has increased the speed of loading and displaying tiles. Taking into account the system performance, a pool of independent threads is formed to load, process and display the received data. Multi-threaded data loading reduces latency when moving the screen, zooming the map, and performing spatial queries on the geoportal.

The functioning of the mobile application in conditions of limited amount of available RAM has been improved. The need for the program to operate under conditions of a limited amount of system resources becomes relevant when using the embedded devices, specialized tablets and other similar devices. When there is insufficient memory, the GIS kernel automatically activates a buffer with a limited amount of memory and performs all data operations using only this buffer. As a result, memory consumption by the GIS application is drastically reduced. In the new version the algorithms of processing and displaying data have been improved. The number of supported sheets for multi-sheet maps has been increased by 4 times. There is increased the accuracy of calculations of a transparency for vector objects and a polygon object - color glass. The algorithms for interaction with the GIS Server have been improved, for example, the interaction mechanism when editing maps containing a small number of objects.

GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows you to open the main formats of digital maps of the GIS "Panorama" on mobile devices based on Android and to process information from the built-in GPS/GLONASS receiver. The user can prepare in advance the required set of spatial data in one of the desktop products (GIS "Panorama", "Panorama-editor", GIS Panorama Mini), pack them into a ZIP archive using standard means and transfer them to the mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile". The process of working with data is carried out autonomously, without connecting to the Internet. When the user moves, his current position is dynamically displayed according to the coordinates obtained from the GPS/GLONASS receiver. For ease of use, it is possible to synchronize the map position with the current location. To save the coordinates obtained during movement, a track recording mode is provided, which creates a separate map and puts the trajectory of movement onto it. For all objects of a map during the work the basic information is provided.

The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Botswana, 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.
