Online service for MapInfo Professional users to share their maps
Description
Key features
Mapworkspace is a solution dedicated to MapInfo Professional users to publish and share their maps
Mapworkspace's accessibility and ease-of-use are truly unique. Although solutions currently exist allowing users to add simple geographic information to free online map services, mapworkspace stands out as it leaves the mapping professional with complete latitude to create maps in MapInfo Professional, and then use mapworkspace to easily share them with their peers or any other user.
Public access allows non-GIS professionals to consult published information and interact with the authors in a user-friendly environment.
Continuously evolving
Mapworkspace is delivered under the approach of a continuously evolving environment. Regular updates allow for progressively adapting the service to the actual needs of the market. Each user automatically benefits from the new features as they are added. Here are some of mapworkspace features that will make your experience truly unique.
Integration with Google Maps and Earth
Korem found a way to innovate by bringing the power and sophistication of MapInfo Professional as one of the best GIS software on the market, with the intuitive and performing outcome of the best Web-mapping service, Google Maps. Indeed, mapworkspace provides all the necessary tools to harmoniously integrate mapworkspace with Google Maps and Earth. Whether you wish to integrate Google Maps (map, satellite, terrain) as a background to your MapInfo data within the mapworkspace environment, or rather wish to overlay your map within a Google navigator, your data integration with Google is just a few clicks away. While the first option greatly enriches the mapworkspace output, integrating a map into a Google navigator will provide all advantages and capabilities offered by the Google Maps API, and will significantly reduce the time and effort required to integrate your data. Translucency can be applied for better integration and improved cartographic display. Other possible interactions between mapworkspace and Google technologies include the possibility to locate your position in Google Maps or Earth, or export your map as a KML file for viewing in Google Earth.
Easy map publication and updates
A simple and straightforward publication process will guide the user through selecting their MapInfo workspace and choosing the confidentiality level of their maps. Data transfer is entirely managed by the service and the map becomes immediately available within the mapworkspace environment. Map updates are just as simple, allowing authors to bring their mapworkspace maps up to date with the most recent changes made in MapInfo Professional, without altering any of its display and sharing configurations.
Adapted sharing options
A variety of options allow authors to either share their maps within the mapworkspace environment or to integrate them in their own Web site through a simple cut and paste operation. Sharing capacities can also be limited to exporting a KML file for use in Google Earth. For users of the Google maps API, it is even possible to integrate the map data within a Google Maps navigator. Maps can also be kept entirely private.
Intuitive and user friendly environment
The maps and related information are displayed through a fluid and intuitive map navigator and environment which authors can easily adjust to best fit their end user needs: choosing to show or hide specific information, giving aliases to layers and column names, such configurations will contribute in conveying clear and precise information for the map reader.
In line with MapInfo Professional
Mapworkspace is regularly updated to reflect MapInfo Professional most recent enhancements and new functionalities.
Forum and networking tools
Mapworkspace provides a range of networking tools for its users to interact with one another. Tags, categories, favourites, contacts, comments, notifications and news feed will allow users to learn from others, question and comment on other people's work, keep informed on chosen subjects, and come in contact with people of common interest. Users can share their maps on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. A forum is also available for mapworkspace users to exchange and discuss, or provide mutual help.
