What Is GeoView?

CREATE YOUR OWN MOBILE MAPPING CLOUD

GeoView represents specialized client/server solution for collecting, sharing and publishing georeferenced imagery and videos.

Today’s mobile mapping platforms commonly rely on proprietary, off-site, pay-as-you-go platforms and technologies – making it hard for both corporate environments and individuals capturing their own, in-house georeferenced imagery datasets. This does not pose only security concerns, but also involves unnecessary costs and expensive data plans. Moreover, with GeoView it’s you who decide which data to capture, how, where and when.

GeoView also comes with unique, built-in support for 3rd party providers of mobile imagery services such as Google StreetView and others. GeoView API enables customizing it further to continue using your provider of preference, along your in-house datasets. It’s scalable architecture enables both desktop and enterprise deployments, spanning from a single workstation to your corporate LAN/WAN or global Internet service. Based on required level of resilience, GeoView comes in three editions: Enterprise, Desktop and Mobile.

COLLECT.

Use any GPS-enabled recording device to collect still photos or georeferenced videos. Supported devices span from your mobile phone camera to professional-grade GPS recorders. GeoView processes and stores collected content and meta-data using specialized geospatial database.

SHARE.

Share the collected information with your colleagues, co-workers or the crowd and let them take advantage of the in situ documentation you created. The data can get shared in a private cloud – using GeoView Enterprise installed on your own server(s) – or the public cloud by uploading the dataset to our servers

CONSUME.

Published GeoView datasets may get consumed using wide range of clients, including GeoView for AutoCAD where you can combine resulting content with existing drawings. Enterprise architecture also enables consuming data using WMS or WFS services and utilizing GeoView Server API either within your LAN/WAN or via Internet.

GeoView Editions
