GeoMedia to Utilize Google and Microsoft APIs to Drive New Client-side Visualization

Two of Intergraph’s flagship products will soon leverage the API’s of Google and Microsoft to support views in their client-side software. In GeoMedia Professional, a standard map window will drive a slave window with Microsoft Virtual Earth (VE) such that panning the map window will drive the VE window. The reverse may also be true but has not been tested. If “Bird’s Eye View” is selected with the VE window control then the user can navigate from the map window where a point will represent the location of the object in view.

In GeoMedia WebMap (GMWM), a setting allows the user to select the type of browser support. In previous versions of GMWM, user most often select SVG. But in a soon to be released version, one of the choices will be either Google Earth (GE) or Microsoft Virtual Earth (VE). Again, using the API’s, a control is utilized to instantiate a session of either GE or VE such that all of the view controls are exposed to the user from inside GMWM. So the users remains in GMWM where links to GeoMedia data warehouses are maintained. The user sees his own data overlayed on GE or VE.
