Visualization: Depiction ‘More Than Mapping’ Update
The people at Depiction have updated the software today and the upgrade adds some important features. Areas and line measurements can now be calculated. Creator information can now be added to depictions and the email feature now includes live email updating to the software – including shapes. The software handles GML, SHP, CSV and GPX files for those working with GPS. The U.S. TerraServer now works with Depiction in addition to Landsat and OpenSteetMap data. There are other features so it might be worthwhile to visit Depiction and see for yourself.
The email feature is slick – I think. Why? Because in an emergency situation many people will depend on sending quick emails with information. The available icons to quickly identify and locate or markup maps is what makes this software extremely useful for emergency and relief situations.
I loaded in a depiction for Haiti that I found on the website – as shown below. All of this information is readily packaged and shipped to other people.
