Azimap web GIS, currently used by hundreds of GI professionals worldwide, is pleased to announce, effective immediately, the availability of raster support, point clustering, the ability to create a hierarchical structure of layers, and numerous user interface enhancements.
The winter release, Azimap 4.5, provides both experienced and non-experienced professionals with the tools to create maps that matter to their business using an affordable, powerful, and user-friendly web GIS.
The primary focus of Azimap 4.5 was unquestionably the introduction of raster support. The introduction of raster support is a significant development which provides users with a mechanism to import orthophotography in GeoTiff format. This imagery can then be shared with internal and external stakeholders on dynamic web maps, and also used as custom base layers, allowing your business data to be analysed in relation to your imagery. When this functionality is used in conjunction with satellite imagery or drone survey imagery, it is possible to create highly detailed maps that are striking in their clarity.
In addition to raster support, the Azimap 4.5 release provides users with the following new features:
Opportunity to create a hierarchical structure of layers
Visualise densely populated point layers more clearly via point clustering
Print maps and the selected underlying feature information
The 4.5 release includes numerous enhancements to the existing workflow process, such as improved:
Validation to support group creation
Map definition creation
Streamlined data import process
Enhanced sharing capabilities via iframe
Mobile responsiveness enhancements
Payment options with the introduction of the Realex secure payment gateway
It is our commitment to continuously refine existing processes, introduce new features and improve the user experience within Azimap that sets our offering apart from other web GIS applications.
David McQuillan, Managing Director of Azimap, explains:
The 4.5 release is a testament to our commitment to developing an affordable, user-led web GIS that enables businesses to become more efficient in capturing, storing, analysing, and sharing their spatial data. The focus on raster support within the 4.5 release was crucial to ensuring that our users have the necessary tools to complete all major tasks.
Whilst we have continued to release significant feature enhancements throughout 2016 and the first quarter of 2017, our primary focus over the next quarter will be streamlining Azimap to ensure the process for completing all major tasks is as intuitive as possible.
This is an exciting time for the Azimap team as we enter into the next phase of our product development and focus on increasing market opportunities outside of the UK and Ireland.
Details of the next release will be announced within the coming weeks. However, until then, please contact us about your GIS project, and we will provide you with a personalised demonstration of Azimap.
