Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with the map of the Republic of Costa Rica, 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 from KB "Panorama" have prepared a video tutorial on working with the "Standard Instrument Departure (SID) route database management" mode of the "Aeronautical Information Document Preparation" application task in GIS "Panorama". Within this mode, an established instrument flight rules departure route connects an aerodrome or aerodrome runway with a designated significant point. The video tutorial demonstrates the management of the standard instrument departure route database. Before creating the departure route database for an aerodrome, a database of runways and aerodrome thresholds must be prepared. The information entered into the database must comply with the requirements of Doc 8168 "Aircraft Operations. Volume II".

Departure procedures published in AIP are called "standard". They are designed for normal conditions and define uniform procedures for all operators during departure. With the advent of RNAV systems, the need arose to encode and store all airspace elements in databases, including departure procedures. For this purpose, each published standard procedure received its own designation (identifier), under which it should be published in AIP and stored in the database. The application of RNAV systems for maneuvering in the aerodrome area required replacing all departures in any direction with standard procedures, since it is much more convenient and safer to perform flights in automatic mode according to pre-coded schemes. Area navigation schemes for departure mainly represent a route (desired track line) that aircraft must follow after takeoff.

Training materials can be accessed in the "Video Tutorials" section.

KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama" version 15.3.8 for "Astra Linux Special Edition", "Alt Linux", "RED OS", "AlterOS" and Ubuntu operating systems. The new version expands the data types processed in the map legend. Map editing modes, DXF and CSV import tasks, and automatic image recognition have been improved.

In the "Map Legend" task, digital map tools have been enhanced with support for new data types: elevation matrices, layers and qualities, rasters, object lists, geoportals, documents and models. The matrix tree now displays all available types with the ability to edit display parameters through the context menu. Raster handling has been updated, including support for multiple selection and operations with various types of raster data. Support for object lists has been added, which are saved in OBX format and can be used for various spatial operations. Work with TIN and MTD models has also been implemented: they can be added, deleted, viewed and their display parameters edited. The improved functionality makes the task more flexible for comprehensive work with digital map content.

In the "Map Editor" task, the "Create polygon by surrounding contour boundaries" mode has been improved. The ability to construct areas using a combination of polygon boundaries, closed and unclosed linear objects at a specified point has been added. When pressing the "Ctrl" key and left mouse button over an area or closed linear object, the contour for which the specified point will be internal will be selected as the construction area. If the specified point is inside several contours, the intersection of all such contours will be constructed. Contours of polygons and any linear objects for which the point is outside will cut off the intersection areas.

A new "Streaming creation of object sets by semantics" mode has been developed, providing grouping of selected objects into sets by unique value of chosen semantics. The mode allows quick formation of several sets of multi-contour cadastral objects from elements selected on the map – external contours. Objects with the same cadastral number are included in one set. A right-click dropdown menu has been added, including names of screen button panels. The menu allows calling the toolbar not by button image, but by the name of the mode group.

The "Automatic Image Recognition" application task has been improved. The ability to edit the area selected by the user for recognition has been added. The user can select the entire work area, a rectangular area, or set the area according to the object dimensions on the map for processing. The output area can now be adjusted (enlarged/reduced/moved) using the "Edit" button in the task dialog box. The task will notify if the selected area requires more computational resources than available to the user. If more than 1000 processing units are needed or the user's limit is exceeded, the frame around the area is highlighted in red on the map. For convenient search through the request table, a "Neural Network Model" column has been added. This column indicates the name of the neural network model used for interpretation for each request. Left-clicking on the column name enables sorting of requests by neural network models and other characteristics. The "Automatic Image Recognition" task allows processing terrain images in RSW/JPG/TIFF/PNG formats and data from open geoportals. Description of available neural network models and processing costs are provided on the "Panorama Vision" page.

The "View Attributes from Database" task, called by a button on the main panel, has been improved. Support for multiple table selection in the "Open Dataset" dialog has been implemented. The functionality of the tab context menu has been expanded: you can copy the table name and query text, as well as edit it directly. The ability to copy and paste data while preserving field names has been implemented. CSV export has been improved and moved to background mode, allowing simultaneous export of multiple tables without interface blocking.

The "Import Data from CSV, XYH, TXT" mode now includes the ability to view the contents of the loaded file. Clicking the "View Contents" button will display the file's lines in a separate window, as if the file were opened in Notepad. Viewing file contents can be useful when determining the column delimiter and the first line from which data reading begins.

The "Import DXF Format Data" task has been improved. Each DXF layer in the "Parameters" tab can be assigned an object type for display after import. To do this, set the "Layer Appearance" field to "Layer Appearance Settings Table". Then assign the required conditional symbol from the RSC classifier to the required layers in the table. To import only those layers for which a conditional symbol is assigned, enable the "Import Selected Layers" property.

In the "Generate Map Sheets by Coordinates" task, the algorithm for constructing a topographic work area by specified dimensions or nomenclature list has been improved. Settings have been added to exclude map sheets whose frames intersect the specified area boundaries within a given percentage of overlap area. By default, sheets with intersection area less than 10% are cut off. The task execution results in a vector map with a refined number of sheet frames.

Vector map control has been improved. When performing structural control, a search for invalid characters in text strings has been added. In "Editing" mode, invalid characters are replaced with spaces.

KB "Panorama" has developed the Digital Maps and Remote Sensing Data Bank version 9.2.0. The new version adds the ability to create custom metadata fields, which expands the volume of stored information for each type of spatial data. The implemented functionality allows for automated data exchange with FGIS, including loading attributes from other systems, as well as configuring metadata in accordance with government regulatory requirements. Storage structure expansion makes it possible to account for the specifics of spatial data funds of large companies.

Using configuration tools, you can modify: metadata field types, editing parameters, display order in the interface, mandatory completion requirements, and access rights.

Added document loading with description of all metadata in a single CSV format file. Loading is performed by folders, where each folder represents a separate dataset (separate record in the metadata table). Search has been optimized for multiple reference values in one field and for large amounts of data (over 100,000 records).

Data security is ensured through access rights differentiation based on security tools included in the operating system. Supported authentication methods include regular authentication, digest authentication, system authentication (via web server), and domain authentication (Kerberos or ActiveDirectory). Additional security is provided through the use of pass-through authentication when working with the database. Database connection occurs with the rights of the user working with the system. The complex is adapted to work on a wide range of operating systems (Astra Linux SE, Ubuntu, RED OS, MS Windows, and others) and architectures (Intel, Elbrus, Baikal).

The program is registered in the domestic software registry under number 1862.

The Digital Maps and Remote Sensing Data Bank serves as the foundation for building spatial data infrastructure at federal, regional, and municipal levels, as well as in corporate information systems. Within the unified geoinformation space, the Digital Maps and Remote Sensing Data Bank implements collection, storage, quality control, search, and delivery of spatial data in exchange formats. Spatial data selected using the program can be deployed for multi-user access on the GIS Server and published according to international OGC standards WFS, WFS-T, WMS, WMTS, WCS on the GIS WebService SE application server. Users can access data both from thin clients (using GIS WebServer SE) and from desktop applications (GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator"). The Digital Maps and Remote Sensing Data Bank enables building cloud storage for spatial data, providing access to this data, and automated formation and updating of geocoverages.

The current state of spatial data is displayed using schematic maps that are maintained for each type of stored data: vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices, and terrain models. The system provides remote placement of spatial datasets in file storage, version management of stored datasets, updating of data availability schematic maps, automated collection and formation of metadata, and formation and updating of geocoverages. Automated collection and formation of metadata is performed according to ISO 19115:2003, Geographic information — Metadata and ISO/TS 19139, Geographic information — Metadata — XML schema implementation standards. Reduced copies of data images are automatically generated, file checksums and dataset completeness are verified. Placement of spatial data in file storage is carried out with integrity verification, structure control, and data content validation. Work results are logged and entered into the metadata database. Automatic backup of metadata and spatial data storage is provided with integrity control and data recovery. A multilingual interface is supported.

The "Spatial Data Bank" portal demonstrates capabilities for organizing storage, accounting, and delivery of vector maps, remote sensing data, elevation matrices, and terrain models. The portal contains vector maps in SXF format, created based on data from open sources (OpenStreetMap, VMap0). The spatial data includes maps of: Russian Federation subjects, countries and cities of near and far abroad. In total, over 430 vector maps and 6,700 matrix data with a total volume of more than 240 GB. KB "Panorama" specialists update and maintain the information composition on the portal weekly. All published data is distributed free of charge under a free license.

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

Specialists from KB "Panorama" have prepared an overview video tutorial on working with the "Road Graph" applied task in GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator" and other software products from KB "Panorama".

Road Graph is a digital vector map consisting of topologically connected edges (arcs) and vertices (nodes), whose location and properties accurately and completely represent the organization of ground transport movement on roadways with specified precision and completeness. The elements for forming the road graph are centerlines. The operation of the reviewed mode uses the digital classifier road25.rscz, which was created in accordance with GOST R 52289-2004 "Technical means of traffic organization".

The video tutorial demonstrates the operation of toolbar modes, which are divided into editing tools and search tasks:

- Finding the optimal path between two points. Can be performed on all roads or on roads filtered by road type or semantic value. The obtained results can be saved to the map. Additionally, the ability to save route tables has been added.

- Finding the optimal tour through multiple nodes. In searching for the minimum path, the optimal order of traversing selected nodes is determined. Node traversal can end at the first or last selected node. Nodes can be selected interactively on the graph map or loaded from a text file with custom node names.

- Building a distance graph. Highlighting arcs on the map that are located at a specified distance from the selected node.

Using the "Road Graph" task tools allows optimizing logistics, improving road traffic safety, and efficiently managing traffic flows. Training materials can be accessed in the "Video Tutorials" section.
