This sample web publishes an interactive vector map and rectified aerial photo image
of the City of Sopot. The vector map was created using the TatukGIS Simple Editor,
and is being web published with the TatukGIS
Internet Server LITE. Any internet user can access this sample via HTML (for PC)
or WAP (for mobile telephone) browser, without the need to download any software or
data. Because all the data resides on the server, and all the work is done on the
server side, the application is easy to administrator and update. All users automatically
see even the most recent updates to the data. The user can choose to turn the aerial
photo image layer on or off.
In addition to the streets and polygons, which are used to represent the parks, cemeteries,
beaches, etc., this map sample includes information about approximately 200 specific
points of interest. The information is held in the attribute fields associated with
vector points and is organized by category type, such as restaurants, hotels, pharmacies,
galleries, etc. The internet user can click on any such point of interest on the map
to link to the additional information. Digital photos are linked to approximately
60 of these points (all the green ones).
The on-line user may query for a map location, or locations, using several methods:
i) enter the street name, ii) enter the name of a business or place, or v) enter a
category of places (select "restaurants" or "churches" and all restaurants or churches
appear on the map). The server illuminates the street or place that was queried for,
and if the queried location is outside the boundary of the existing view, the server
centers the view on the location of the queried object. If the query is for a category
containing multiple places, the server returns a map view just wide enough to contain
all of the illuminated points.
