Weekly Update - incorporating your existing GIS data during playback

Hi again. For the very observant amongst you, you will see that we have skipped a couple of weekly updates. Mr RouteShoot Blogger (i.e. me) took a little holiday. Nothing too exciting to report, but I did go to see my mum - as all good kids should now and again - and shot some RouteShoot video in East Kent and on the M25.

Over the past two to three weeks we have been working on a couple of commercial opportunities with one in particular, based in the US, being at the forefront. This is very exciting for us as it proves the truly international capabilities of RouteShoot and we are really looking forward to working with a major player in the US infrastructure market. More announcements will be made as we progress with this project, so watch this space.

On another note, our developers have been making good progress with the ESRI mapping. In our last blog we mentioned working with ArcGIS - now we have got our own ESRI map services displaying in our playback web page. This means that we can use any of our GIS data as a background for the video. The example screenshot below shows our RouteShoot playback page with some ordnance survey background mapping replacing the default Google map and the very pale pink area (behind the blue dot) is one of our own polygon features.



 

This development means we can really offer that extra dimension to people's GIS data. We plan to make this functionality available to our professional and enterprise commercial customers in the very near future.
