Webmapping

The use of web technologies is becoming increasingly important to most companies and administrative bodies and thus the use of web-based GIS or webmapping solutions is becoming more widespread. Improved internet accessibility and the distribution of Google Maps and applications such as the Google Earth plugin have popularized map applications which, over time, have become an essential component of many websites. Implementation of complex webmapping projects however, requires comprehensive knowledge in various fields – all of which can be provided by our company. Over the years we have developed, adapted and implemented numerous web applications.
