Further development of kiosks and information points

eMapSite has continued to develop its innovative interactive mapping solution for kiosks and local information points. We have added further functionality to the kiosk solution including printing and "zoom to" functionality that enables users to zoom directly to a selection of pre-defined areas. The solution can be a stand-alone, self-contained unit, or be part of an Internet-based solution, served from central servers. In both, users can seamlessly browse and search for information using an intuitive touch-screen interface. The mapping solution can be provided with local content from our partners e-Street and Schoolsnet, or configured to use any third-party content.

For further information or to request a demonstration, contact Justin Saunders on 0118 973 6883.

Internet Street map in 57 tiles from 10,569 files

eMapSite has been undertaking a huge task of mosaicing the Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 Internet Street Map of Great Britain. We have currently compressed the country into 57 files, each 100km x 100km, from the 10,569 original files provided by the Ordnance Survey, making this new and exciting dataset easier to manage and use. If you want to purchase just a single seamless file of this new 1:10,000 scale product, such as a specific county mosaic, then contact eMapSite as we can provide custom areas to meet your exact requirements.

GE Smallworld UK User Group Conference

eMapSite will be present at the GE Smallworld UK User Group Conference, taking place during the 9th and 10th July at the Robinson College Executive Centre, Wyboston, Cambridge. We will be demonstrating how GE Smallworld users can access and use data directly from our servers in their application.
