FDO, OGR and GDAL Extension Video

Presentation

Sample
In a previous webinar we tackled integrating your own custom GIS data with Map Suite, focusing on feature-centric sources such as FeatureSource and FeatureLayer. In this video, we'll explore how you can leverage existing open-source GIS libraries such as FDO, OGR, and GDAL to support even more data formats. You'll be amazed how easy it is to take advantage of these native C++ libraries in your GIS software.
Map Suite DynamoDB Extension Technology Preview Video

Sample
This video will introduce you to the Map Suite DynamoDB Extension limited technology preview. This exciting new extension leverages Amazon's DynamoDB, a NoSQL cloud database technology, to store and serve GIS spatial data via the cloud. The extension's ability to use a few API calls to create a spatial table, import data and then access it without a traditional spatial database or hardware is a huge step forward.
Tile Cache Generator Video

Sample
This video will show you how to use the Tile Cache Generator utility to generate tile caches based on your own layers. Pre-generating tiles base on your data allows you to display the data faster than rending it from vector graphics files. It also allows you to protect your vector data by providing just the raster tiles for display purposes only. In the past pre-generating tiles required customers to build the process from scratch which was time consuming and often times inefficient. With the Tile Cache Generator we have packaged many of our best practices along with the source to allow you to tweak it to your specific situation.
