GIS FormsVirtual Globes ¢ A virtual globe is a three-dimensional (3D) software model or representation of the Earth or another world. A virtual globe provides the user with the ability to freely move around in the virtual environment by changing the viewing angle and position.GIS Developer System * GIS developers typically work as part of a team of software developers to develop GIS applications and tools and maintain software programs to support the needs of the company and/or clients. Additional tasks may include analyzing land and aerial imagery or using databases to create specialized maps, such as weather, seismic, or population-based maps. Developers may also help clients interpret data, identify trends, and highlight patterns. * GIS developers also provide technical support on GIS programs. They maintain and troubleshoot existing systems, as well as upgrading software. Additional duties can involve project development, management, and budgeting. Many of the GIS developer's work hours might be spent sitting at a desk and a computer.Mobile GIS Mobile GIS extends the traditional indoor GIS manipulation to the outdoor work and provides a mobile outdoor operation platform for field surveyors to collect, modify, and measure the spatial data in an easy and effective way. Supergeo uniquely offers complete GIS product selections to satisfy the field surveyors who have various needs and to assist them in diverse survey tasks Mobile GIS is a means of geo-data collection using GNSS positioning, GIS functionality, wireless connection and mapping, all integrated in one compact device. In tandem with this month’s product survey (page 28), the author gives a detailed outline of the technical and business features of mobile GIS systems. SuperServ integrating GIS and GPS technologies is a mobile GIS system for surveying field data, which works on mobile devices with Android OS. The main functions include data collection, orientation, map display and waypoint guidance.Desktop systems | Bh Bit Yew [pont Sebeton Took Window Help +m oJ 4eeor |0#ua|s 2 eXxloo MH 25 |Gs) |p De Wwe| oomapping systems a WebBelow: Architecture of MapServer, a web server used to communicate with browser dients.
