Many of today's strategic government and corporate decisions are based on information interpreted from geospatial content. However, getting the pertinent information into the hands of key decision-makers can be a significant challenge when cross-functional audiences have limited access to the software needed to view and manipulate the data.
To address these limitations, Sanborn can develop and produce a custom GEOBOOK for your specific GIS project using the GEOBOOK Author software.
Useful for technical and non-technical audiences alike, GEOBOOK offers a convenient, standardized method for GIS Data Distribution. Its book-like format provides a user-friendly interface for audiences with a range of GIS skill sets from the novice to the daily practitioner. Its embedded data access, querying and reporting functionality offers powerful mapping capabilities for everyone.
Once completed, your GEOBOOK can be easily published and deployed digitally to mixed audiences--and because there are no licensing fees, GEOBOOK is an extremely cost-effective way to provide the ability for unlimited viewers to have access to and interpret geospatial data.
If you're interested in developing and publishing your own custom GEOBOOKs, the Sanborn GEOBOOK Author Software is available for purchase.
Consistent, Intuitive Book Interface GEOBOOK is a customizable, Windows-based, data distribution tool that’s suitable for a variety of end-user requirements. GIS information is presented on book-like pages, which are then organized logically into tabbed chapters.
Users can easily flip through electronic pages to access images, maps and supporting content. Individual “books” can also be cataloged into a “library” so users can maintain a cohesive, coherent flow to all the data they need to distribute in GEOBOOK format.
Comprehensive Imagery Location & Mapping Data Containing a range of geospatial data content organized into accessible data stacks, GEOBOOK combines imagery and GIS data with photographs, diagrams, maps and written text. Based on specific user needs, Sanborn can further support custom classification analysis (such as land use/land cover, irrigated/non-irrigated, pervious/non-pervious and fire fuels mapping, etc.).
Sanborn can also integrate parcel, street and address vector data with any GEOBOOK solution. For example, by including Navigation Technologies’® NAVSTREETS™ information, GEOBOOK is instantly transformed into a powerful address matching and location query tool.
Powerful GIS Functionality More than just a tool for displaying static data, the GEOBOOK can be equipped with dynamic data manipulation capabilities, enabling users to explore imagery, GIS and information content.
The powerful Interactive Map feature allows users to zoom in/out of a particular area, turn layers on or off, query attributes, and develop customized maps and reports based on a specific geographic query.
Exceptional Distribution Possibilities GEOBOOK is available on three platforms that can be scaled to meet specific organization needs:: Desktop, Client-Server, or Web. Although built on the latest third-party technologies—including ESRI’s MapObjects LT—the GEOBOOK solution comes without licensing requirements or royalty fees.
