IGeomap nesixhumanisi sayo neGoogle Maps
Esikhathini esithile esidlule ngenze isibuyekezo se- i-beta ye-Geomap, ukuthi phakathi kwezimfanelo zayo ezinhle kunekhono lokuvumelanisa ukubukwa kwedatha hhayi kuphela nge-Google Maps, kodwa futhi ne-Bing Maps, Yahoo Maps ne-Open Street Maps.
Ngokungafani nezinye izinhlelo ezenzayo, ezingenisa kuphela ukubanjwa kwe-georeferenced, iGeomap inokusekela ukulayishwa kwamamephu asetshenzisiwe, ama-mosaics ngendlela yezitini (amathayili) abekiselwe izindlela ezithile ukuze akwazi ukugcinwa. Yilokho nje esikubonayo lapho sisondeza kuGoogle Maps, akuyi kunoma ikuphi ukusondeza kuphela kepha kusondela kulokho okuzivumelanisa naloyo mosaic yingakho isibonisi sisebenza ngendlela esheshayo, enamandla esivele yamukelwe nokuthi bayakwenza amathuluzi we-Open Source abukhali kakhulu afana ne-Open Layers ne-Tile Caché.
Namuhla bamemezele isandiso esisha esibizwa ngeGeolocation Manager, lapho ungathola khona idatha emephini, ekhonjiswa kumbukeli weGoogle Maps ngendlela evumelanisiwe. Kuyathakazelisa ukuthi lokhu kusebenza njengoba kwenziwa eGoolge Earth noma kuGoogle Maps, ukuthi sibhala igama lendawo, futhi kubuyisa amaphuzu anomdlalo, njengoba sibona esibonelweni esilandelayo
Isiqhingi sase-El Hierro, emidwebo yeGovernment of the Canary Islands.
Ngicabanga ukuthi iGeomap kuzofanele ibonwe njalo, ngenxa yokwenziwa kwezinto ezintsha okuqondiswe emisebenzini ejwayele ukusetshenziswa kakhulu ngabasebenzisi abasebenza nezinhlelo ezinjenge-AutoCAD, Microstation ne-ArcMap. I-plugin enhle kakhulu, ejoyina izinhlelo ezihehe ukunakwa kwami ngenxa yokuhlanganiswa neGoogle Earth, njengalokho ekwenzayo I-PlexEarth nge-AutoCAD, I-Arc2Earth ne-ArcGIS, I-KloiGoogle ne-Microstation, i-ArcGIS, i-Mapinfo ne-Geomedia.
Kancane kancane ukuxhumana kwamamephu aku-inthanethi bekulokhu kuqhubekela phambili ezingxenyeni zezinhlelo, zombili ezokuthengisa nezilayisensi yamahhala. Futhi yize iGoogle igcina ubukhali maqondana namazinga we-WMS noma ukuntuleka kwemethadatha ngezinhloso ezidinga ukunemba, kuzofanele sikuhloniphe ukuthandwa kwayo futhi sinamathele kulokho ekuhlinzekayo.
