Why use Google Geospatial Technology
Market Share
Our customers know how and want to use it
Our decision makers want it DC Mayor and Chief Technology Officer have entered into a
partnership with Google.
Google Maps API lowers development and data costs
Google Earth 3D capability
-- Primary Concerns –
Advertising
Does not replace data maintenance or analysis from our ESRI suite so we are supporting an additional environment.
Google Maps DC SamplesDOT Evacuation Routes DDOT Snow Response
DCPS School Finder FEMS Hydrants
Google Earth Enterprise
DC will have its own Google Earth “Globe” Available on the DC WAN with the Google Earth Enterprise Client
Available on the internet in Google Maps applications
Google Earth Enterprise Components Google Earth Fusion to store, style, and organize data into a
seamless viewable globe or 2D browsable map
Google Earth Server to host and stream data to end user software
Google Earth Enterprise Client or Browser-based 2D Maps view for viewing, printing, searching and data authoring
Google Earth Fusion Supports imagery, terrain, polygons, points, lines, KML, regionated KML overlays, and 3D models Supports distributed data processing across multiple CPUs and machines Easy-to-use GUI or scriptable interface to automate data ingestion and database completion Project metaphor – create projects for different collections of data and use these projects to build
multiple 3D globes or 2D browser-based maps Auto-ingest – scriptable engine to automatically sync with changing datastores Built-in projection handling Virtual mosaicking capability Rich styling support in GUI to create themes in vector data Support for common raster and vector data formats
KML streaming Support for KML
Google SketchUp Models
Superoverlay Image processing
Vector and Point ESRI Shapefile (.SHP)
MapInfo Tab (.TAB)
Comma Separated Values (.CSV)
Image and Terrain GeoTIFF, Erdas IMG, JPEG2000, MrSID (32-bit version only)
TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BIL, BIP
DTED, USGS SDTS DEM, ASCII DEM
Issues we are working through
Meant for world wide mapping Built in zoom level not to local government scale
How can I stop it from starting the map over California? How can it start up zoomed to DC?
Unable to change the display order
Needs more symbols
