KB "Panorama" in collaboration with MIIGAiK students has prepared a video tutorial on working with the "Import vector maps from KML format" task. The task is available in GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator" and other KB "Panorama" software products for the "Astra Linux Special Edition" operating system.

The video tutorial demonstrates KML data loading types both into a new map and into an existing one. During data import, loading is performed while preserving the graphical appearance of objects and according to the map resource classifier mp2map.rscz. This classifier is based on conventional symbols compiled from open sources. Object keys correspond to Garmin, Navitel, and other object types. To display KML file objects using unique keys used in the classifier, it is necessary to create a settings file. To fill in the settings table, you need to match the classifier object keys with KML file data.

During data loading, information is provided about the total number of objects, successfully and unsuccessfully created objects, and the number of unconfigured codes. You can find the training materials in the "Video Tutorials" section.

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

KB "Panorama" has developed "Workstation of the urban-planner" version 15.4.0. The new version includes a "Cultural Heritage Sites" (CHS) registry, an expanded list of reference books and accounting object attributes, and implements synchronization of cultural heritage objects' attributes with the digital map classifier semantics.

The "Cultural Heritage Sites" registry is designed for recording immovable objects of historical, archaeological, architectural, artistic, and urban planning value. The registry is part of the "Accounting Objects" mode and allows establishing spatial and logical connections between cultural heritage sites and land plots, documents, rights holders, and digital map objects. The ability to attach photos and images to records ensures storage of both attribute information and visual representations of objects in the database.

To maintain the CHS registry, a new reference book "Types of Cultural Heritage Sites" has been added to the database, and the "Type of Real Estate Object" reference book has been updated. The names and codes of the reference books correspond to the identical semantics of the survey classifier. This ensures accuracy and consistency of information stored in the database and digital map objects.

The developed attributes of cultural heritage site records allow data storage in accordance with information obtained from the "National Spatial Data System" portal. To ensure high accuracy and data consistency, the names and codes of these reference books correspond to the identical semantics of the survey classifier.

The implementation of the CHS registry in the "Urban Planner's Workstation" enables the complex to be used in urban planning and cultural heritage protection, contributing to the preservation and effective management of unique objects.

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

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama Mobile" version 1.11 for the domestic mobile Aurora OS. The new version implements modes for autonomous work with road graphs: route building between two points, creating optimal routes when visiting multiple points, and building distance graphs.

Route building allows quick path planning from one point to another. The route is built based on minimum distance, and one-way traffic consideration is performed automatically. Users can specify road types allowed for travel (for example, moving only on streets or avoiding highways). This mode requires a road graph map in the application's data list.

The optimal route building mode for visiting multiple points serves to solve the traveling salesman problem. Users specify the start and end points of the route, as well as intermediate points to visit. The program arranges points in optimal order and displays the route on the map.

Distance graph building allows identification of all roads (graph arcs) within a specified distance from a selected node. Users indicate a point on the map and enter a maximum distance. As a result, all found roads are displayed on the map with highlighting, simplifying the analysis of available routes in the specified area.

Complete source code of GIS "Panorama Mobile" for Aurora OS is available for review as part of the GIS Constructor toolkit for Aurora OS.

GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows opening and editing main digital map formats of GIS "Panorama" and popular geoportals on mobile devices based on Aurora OS, processing information from built-in GPS/GLONASS receivers. Users can prepare necessary spatial data sets in advance using one of the desktop products (GIS "Panorama", "Panorama-editor", GIS Panorama Mini) and transfer them to mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile". Data processing is performed autonomously, without Internet connection. When users move, their current position is dynamically displayed based on coordinates received from the GPS/GLONASS receiver.

For convenience, there is an option to synchronize the map position with the current location. To save coordinates obtained during movement, there is a track recording mode that creates a separate map and plots the movement trajectory on it. Basic information is provided for all map objects during operation. The program is developed using the GIS Constructor toolkit, which provides components for creating mobile applications for working with digital maps in C++ programming language using Qt.

Aurora OS is a Russian mobile operating system developed by Open Mobile Platform company. The operating system is designed to build trusted mobile infrastructure and protect sensitive information in government organizations, large and medium-sized commercial companies. It promotes technological sovereignty of the state through a secure mobile environment and meets all regulatory requirements in the field of national security and information protection. Aurora OS allows centralized management of mobile devices and mobile software fleet when using Aurora Center. The current version of Aurora mobile OS has been certified by FSTEC of Russia and fully complies with requirements for type "A" operating systems of protection class 4 and trust level 4.

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

KB "Panorama" specialists have prepared an overview video tutorial on working with the "Geological Editor" application task in the "Complex of Geological Tasks". This complex is an additional module for GIS "Panorama" and "Geologist's Workstation".

The "Geological Editor" task is designed for creating and editing special engineering-geological maps and schemes, as well as inputting data about soil composition and structure of geological stratification. It includes preparation and formation of engineering-geological columns and geological section schemes, processing of well inclinometry results, and creation and analysis of three-dimensional models of the geological environment.

Survey results can be plotted on the map as point symbols (wells) with semantic data about the geological structure added to these objects. This ensures linking the appearance of exposed stratification to conventional symbols from the digital classifier and entering text descriptions of layers and their occurrence conditions.

The digital classifier geology.v2.rscz is designed for representing special engineering-geological objects on the map. The classifier is created in accordance with GOST 21.302-2021 requirements and contains all necessary conventional signs and designations. It can be used for creating engineering-geological condition maps and mine surveying graphic documentation.

The video tutorial demonstrates the operation of "Geological Editor" task modes, shows working map settings, legends of geological stratification and soils, as well as files for storing attributive information. The task is designed as a panel with a set of functional buttons and auxiliary modes.

You can find the training materials in the "Video Tutorials" section.
