MapThat – Updated Drawing Tools

By David Crowther

Instead of investing in expensive proprietary desktop GIS, why not allow your users to edit spatial data via a webGIS? We do, and that’s why we are always developing new Drawing Tools within the DynamicMaps webGIS – MapThat. 

The updates for MapThat’s Drawing Tools include: 

• Snapping to existing features and basemaps such as OS Mastermap

• Pan and Zoom around the map as you draw. Allowing you to digitise at local scales for complex geometry and then zoom to greater extents for general linework

• We now reveal the Distance and Area of the feature as it is being digitised. So no need to place post it notes on your screen!.... you can digitise and also see the exact lengths of your new objects

Why not try it for yourself: TryMapThat
