Explorer+ is a web-based map-centric viewer app that allows users to view, access and use data through intuitive, user-friendly map interfaces. By consolidating and mapping GeoSpatial data from various sources, systems and formats into a centralized database facilitates data sharing, improves data access, and provides easy interaction with the data under a single access point.
Explorer+ GeoPlatform Components
Explorer+ provides a highly configurable system for instant mapping of GeoSpatial data with two core GeoPlatform components: a Map Viewer and an Administrator Module. Explorer+ comes with a basic data model that addresses the industry’s needs.
The Map Viewer solution delivers extraordinary mapping capabilities with navigation tools, redlining, querying and information display that’s customized based on the user’s need. The Administrator Module establishes the levels of access and control for each user as well as the system’s setup and database defaults.
Map Display shows customizable map layers based on data with options to load new information and toggle through different layers.
Navigation Tools
Navigation Tools provide users the necessary tools for easily zooming in or out, panning the map and changing its scale or type.
Measurement
Measurement easily measures elements within the map with different units and label options including coordinates of points, linear length and polygon areas.
Identification
Identification assists in locating specific areas or points on the map and displaying their characteristics based on set parameters.
Redlining
Redlining enables the user to make freehand Geo-Referenced graphical edits and annotate with different types of text, shapes and colors with the ability to easily export and import graphics into the Geo-Database.
Search
Explorer+ offers a wide range of search options with the ability to broaden or limit searches to specific data fields and ranges within a targeted map layer.
Bookmarks
Bookmarks saves a particular geographic location for future use and reference with the ability to retrieve saved locations.
Table of Contents & Legend
Displays a dynamic table of contents with the legend that lists all the layers on the map, and shows what the features in each layer represent. The user can toggle the visibility of the layers in the list.
Print & Save
Explorer+ offers various options for users to print their maps in different formats, adjust the resolution, add a map legend, save their maps and share them with others online.
