We have made an animated SVG map of the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill, with data found on the web. The base map is made with Mappetizer. The animation is done with javascript. http://www.mappetizer.de/en/examples/oilspill/
uismedia announces the release of a new version of Mappetizer for ArcGIS, the company's easy-to-use ArcMap extension for SVG and Silverlight web mapping solutions.
The new version 8.2 provides new functionalities including enhancements in printing. The Silverlight capabilities are expanded and OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia support is implemented.
With version 8.1, Mappetizer for ArcGIS now supports the free online map OpenStreetMap. With this you have access to a street map which makes you independent of Google Maps, Bing Maps and their terms of services. In many cases OpenStreetMap is much more detailed as the other maps too.
Also the Wikipedia Geocoding Webservice by GeoNames is supported.
Please have a look on our example.
Mappetizer! - MapViewSVG with a new name and further news.
MapViewSVG, the powerful tool to create Web maps, will now be presented with a new name: Mappetizer.
With this we change the name, but the innovation will continue: Demanding Online-GIS-Applications on the base of vector technologies, which are supported from all major browsers and don't need any specific web server technology.
Mappetizer is a tool that gives you the opportunity to convert spatial data into the SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) format. You can then use these SVG files to publish them on the Web or on CD-ROM.
To create your maps you do not need any GIS software.
Mappetizer offers many features to create interactive maps of high quality, like identifying features, viewing the attribute table, map-tips, hyperlinks, turn on and off layers, measurement tools, and many others.
Additional information about Mappetizer and the possibility to download an
evaluation version are available under http://www.mappetizer.de
