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

Specialists of KB "Panorama" have prepared a training set from 36 sheets of scale 1:100 000 converted into 9 sheets of scale 1:200 000 by using the program "Automated generalizations of topographic maps". Specialized software is designed to perform automated mapping of digital topographic maps (DTM) of scales of 1:50 000 - 1:500 000 based on source maps of larger scales. For performing the procedure of generalization from a scale of 1: 100 000 to 1: 200 000 the parameter files have been prepared that can be used for other areas with similar terrain properties. The source set of maps has been led to the 100t05gm.rsc classifier and complies with the rules for the digital description of terrain objects given in the document "Technology of digital topographic maps creating and updating".

The area of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, located on the coast of the Gulf of Finland and at the mouth of the Neva River, was chosen for work. The territory belongs to the Baltic Sea basin and has a dense, developed network of rivers and canals. Dense coniferous and mixed deciduous forests, interspersed with swamps, cover almost 70% of the area.

The process of converting source data in map format to the final result took 3 working days when carried out step by step. An example of a training kit is packaged into an archive containing data in the folders Source data, Settings files, Result.

The updated version of the Specialized software accelerates the processing of small reservoirs, which searches for adjacent cover objects (forests, meadows) and unites the removed small reservoirs with adjacent cover objects. The union is performed provided that there is a significant area (contour) of adjacency of the analyzed objects. Customizing the filters of objects processed during formation of a destination map has been simplified. The new mode allows to execute faster and flexible customizing the views of the objects copied onto a derivative map.

Quality of the title sign of the settlements names has been improved: a new algorithm of selection of the title location carries out search of the place most free from contours.

An example of a training map project and parameters files for working with the module of the "Automated generalization of topographic maps" is available for download in the Download section. A complete set of data for each stage of the specialized software the "Automated generalization of topographic maps" can be requested by writing a letter to panorama@gisinfo.ru.

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.
