Written by Glenn Letham (GISuser editor)
Thursday, 03 May 2007 According to the developers of this interesting app., GeoGarage is claimed to be the first geospatial images web server compatible with Google Maps and Google Earth. Actually Geogarage is a software service used for interactive mapping publishing and targeted to organisms which have data but don't know how to publish them. Two viewing options are made available: a Google Maps API based viewer and a Flash Version... The service uses Quadtrimage(R) Technology.
The company's mission is to integrate digital mapping data (maps, orthophotos, in any formats) to provide web hosting and to diffuse them in ASP mode, storing huge geographical documents and displaying the images with raster tiles technology.
The Google Maps API based viewer is easy to use. Inserting a Google Maps viewer with GeoGarage data in a web page is really simple : only a few html line code is needed. For people interested in having a specific viewer, Geogarage also provides unbranded web mapping viewer based on a Flash viewer.
Features:
quick setup - interactive maps online in a couple of days interactive map provided as a: Flash plug-in, Google Maps plug-in, or Google Earth kml file
easy to install inside your Internet website (MIS supplies a few lines of html code to insert in the webpage containing the plugin) : so no revolution in the architecture of your existing website
the user can quickly move on the map or the aerial picture, magnifying without waiting time
compatibility with all types of client environment : Windows, Linux or Mac OS nature of digital mapping : vectorial (from GIS) or raster (orthophotos)
attractive price : affordable cost for small structures (no license) no technical maintenance
data protection
Users will find different examples applications on the company website including one of them based on coastal orthophotos of the French littoral (better quality than the Geoportail images) is composed of more of 3 millions small raster tiles.
The Technology -- Quadtrimage®, an efficient web navigation technology for raster images and its geographical extension Quadtrimageo® related to georeferenced documents (maps and orthophotos). Quadtrimageo® technology is built on a modular architecture based on open source tools and spatial database.
