Innovative mapping tool-kit for .NET framework
-
The MapClassLib.Net is a library of functions for vector and raster mapping on computers running Microsoft Windows XP., Vista or 7 environments, ASP.NET web-applications and hand-held mobile devices running Windows Mobile 6. MapClassLib.NET lets developers create applications which allow users to read vector and raster colour or black and white map data files, scroll over maps, change the scale of maps, create map overlays,create map layouts and output these to any device supported by Windows. It also lets developers create applications which allow users to edit, revise, delete, move and manage data files.
The MapClassLib.Net library is a class library which exploits Microsoft .Net Framework to give developers access to a suite of functions for creating professional mapping applications, prototypes and custom solutions. The library is relatively easy to install and use and has formed the basis of many commercial software applications involving high-quality accurate mapping and locational analysis. When used on mobile devices with satellite global positioning systems receivers, it can provide maps with current positions shown by a symbol on a map and can track where a person has been by use of linear symbols on map overlays. Several custom applications have been for niche markets such as orienteering, fell walking, sailing and cycling. Some appliations have been linked to other applications such as Microsoft Access database and Excel spreadsheets on desktop and mobile devices.

Recieve a database record of the full address and postcode of where your vehicle asset has been.
-
AddressFinda UK enables organisations to keep track of vehicle assets, providing a database record of the full address and postcode of where a vehicle asset has been. The database stores data about each vehicle for months or years in order to provide objective information about an vehicle asset throughout the period of its use.
Benefits
- Improve level of customer service
- Improve management capabilities
- Reduce unneccessary fuel expenditure
Users of the AddressFinda UK application input a set of either Easting and Northing coordinates or Longitude and Latitude co-ordinates specifying the location of a vehicle asset. The AddressFinda UK application returns the full postal address of the street or the road nearest to a given set of GPS co-ordinates. The Addressfinda UK application can also derive the speeds at which a vehicle was being driven such as maximum, average, median, mode and minimum.
AddressFinda UK can be supplied as a software library for C, C++, and C#.NET. AddressFinda software is a generic, neat, fast and highly efficient solution which offers very high levels of accuracy and performance. It is supplied with a simple interface and can be easily integrated into desktop or server solutions for asset tracking, monitoring and security.

Javascript mapping web interface module
-
MapClassAJAX software let you display different types of large raster images such as maps, plans, aerial photographs, satellite images and digital elevation models on a website. This fast, flexible and reliable software lets users scroll or pan, zoom or change scale and jump-to-location. The software can readily be embedded in a website to give fast, efficient and dynamic views of images. For example, it would allow users to enlarge the scale of an aerial photograph and focus and view a single property or house in progressively more and more detail rather than just at small- and large-scales.
Benefits
- Use of MapClassAJAX software gives your website a distinctive element which attracts the attention of visitors;
- It gives a better visual impression of features in an image such as a scenic view, map, vertical aerial photograph or satellite remote sensing image;
- It lets visitors to your website view a set of images in considerably more detail than is possible with a single image at only one scale;
- If you have multiple scales of images of the same area, they can be placed in a stack to provide even more insight into features as the scale increases such as viewing a property, farm, city, regional or continental view.
- For example, a stack of images might include Landat Thematic Mapper enhanced images, Quickbird very high spatial resolution images and vertical aerial photographs at small-, medium- and large-scale to simulate viewing the earth surface from space through a telescope.
- This provides a unique feature for an organisations or businesses which promote high-valued properties, sell licences for remote sensing data, digital elevation models or related locational information on a website.
