KB "Panorama" has developed GIS "Panorama Mobile" version 1.8 for the domestic mobile OS Aurora. The new version implements display of layer matrices and quality matrices data. Map editor tools have been expanded, BIR format support has been added, and the ability to convert heights from orthometric to geodetic has been included.

The program implements the selection of displayed height type: geodetic or orthometric. When this parameter is enabled, heights are converted from orthometric (relative to the geoid MSL - mean sea level) to geodetic relative to the WGS 84 ellipsoid surface using the EGM2008 geoid model. The orthometric height value is independent of coordinate system, projection parameters, and other cartographic properties. The geodetic height value depends on the parameters of the ellipsoid relative to which it is measured (WGS 84, PZ-90.11, Krasovsky 1940, etc.). For conversion from orthometric height to PZ-90.11 geodetic height, calculations are performed to WGS 84 geodetic height using the EGM2008 model, followed by conversion to PZ-90.11 using GOST 32457-2017 parameters.

The "Data List" dialog now supports layer matrices and quality matrices. These can be used to create and analyze surface models, displaying terrain properties such as relief heights, pollution concentration, precipitation amounts, distance from specified objects, and more.

The "Map Editor" has been enhanced with a new "Map Object Movement" tool, allowing users to quickly change object positions. Users simply activate the tool, select an object, and move it to the desired location. Changes are confirmed using a checkmark in the upper right corner of the screen.

The list of supported spatial data formats has been expanded to include BIR format. This allows the use of cartographic information from servers as a background for working data. The BIR format consists of an array of SQLite databases storing tiles.

GIS "Panorama Mobile" allows opening and editing main digital map formats of GIS "Panorama" and popular geoportals on Aurora OS-based mobile devices, processing information from built-in GPS/GLONASS receivers. Users can prepare necessary spatial data sets in desktop products (GIS "Panorama", "Panorama-Editor", GIS Panorama Mini) and transfer them to mobile GIS "Panorama Mobile". Data processing occurs offline, without Internet connection. User position is dynamically displayed using GPS/GLONASS coordinates. Map position can be synchronized with current location for convenience. A track recording mode creates a separate map with movement trajectory. Basic information is provided for all map objects during operation. The program is developed using GIS Constructor toolkit, providing components for creating mobile applications working with digital maps in C++ programming language using Qt.

Aurora OS is a Russian mobile operating system developed by "Open Mobile Platform" company. The operating system is designed to build trusted mobile infrastructure, protect sensitive information in government organizations, large and medium commercial companies.

Aurora OS enables centralized management of mobile devices and mobile software through Aurora Center. The current version of Aurora mobile OS has been certified by FSTEC of Russia and fully complies with requirements for "Type A" operating systems of protection class 4 and trust level 4.

The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

KB "Panorama" specialists have prepared a video tutorial on using the "View attributes from database" function in GIS "Panorama", "Workstation of cadastral engineer", "Workstation of agronomist", and other software products. The covered function provides display of object attributes from spatial databases connected through DBM files or arbitrary attribute tables.

The "Attribute table" allows access to the entire original dataset. If a DBM map opens a database table rather than executing an arbitrary SQL query, the data will be available for editing. No additional settings are required for the "Attribute Table" dialog to work with DBM format maps. Database connection parameters specified in the DBM map itself are used to connect to the data source. For each table selected from the database, a tab is created displaying its contents.

The video tutorial demonstrates the operation of the "View attributes from database" mode and connection of arbitrary attribute tables by entering database connection parameters. The stages of attribute data table placement are shown. Multiple tables can be opened simultaneously as tabs. Up to three additional tables can be placed under the table tabs.

Training materials can be accessed in the "Video Lessons" section.

Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Republic of Angola, formed according to OpenStreetMap data. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products of KB "Panorama".

The map was led to the modernised classifier of large-scale plans of scale 1: 5 000 (map5000m). Publishing of updates in bank of spatial data is made by using the program of Databank of digital maps and remote sensing data. Publishing contents of bank of spatial data on the geoportal and data access for downloading are implemented by means of GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps on the basis of OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the page "Digital maps".

KB "Panorama" specialists have successfully completed testing that confirms the compatibility and proper functioning of GIS "Panorama Mobile" with the RED OS M operating system. A compatibility certificate has been issued based on the test results.

GIS "Panorama Mobile" enables users to open main digital map formats of GIS "Panorama" on Android-based mobile devices and process information from built-in GPS/GLONASS receivers. Users can prepare necessary spatial data sets in advance, package them in standard ZIP archives, and transfer them to the "Panorama Mobile" mobile GIS. Data processing is performed offline, without Internet connection. As users move, their current position is dynamically displayed based on coordinates received from the GPS/GLONASS receiver. For user convenience, map position can be synchronized with current location. To save coordinates obtained during movement, there is a track recording mode that creates a separate map and plots the movement trajectory. Basic information is provided for all map objects during operation.

RED OS M is a Russian mobile operating system that represents an integrated software complex based on Android Open Source Project and RED OS. RED OS M is a multi-user, multitasking operating system that ensures program execution in a secure environment. The system is designed for individual, group, and corporate use, automation of information, engineering, and production processes at enterprises of various levels. The OS developer, RED SOFT company, creates comprehensive projects in data storage and management based on its own software product portfolio.

The new version of the program is available for download in the Download section.

The KB "Panorama" has developed Imagery Service version 11.4.0. The new version expands the range of tile types that can be created. The program allows for the generation of tiles in JPEG, PNG, PNG8, Mbtiles, BIR, GeoPackage, WebP, and GeoJson formats according to the international standard OGC WMTS 07-057r7 version 1.0.0, TMS standard, and OGC 12-128r15 GeoPackage version 1.2.1. The WebP format is optimally suited for use on mobile devices and in high-load information systems due to its smaller size compared to other image storage formats. This format supports both lossy and lossless compression algorithms. A compressed image typically takes up to 30% less space compared to PNG. The WebP format supports transparency and can contain metadata for images. Using this format will increase network bandwidth due to reduced traffic volume, save device memory, and allow mobile and client applications, such as GIS WebServer SE, to operate faster.

The new version of the service allows for the creation of vector tiles in GeoJson format. These tiles contain the geometry of objects, object metadata, semantic characteristics, as well as their appearance. Vector tiles are necessary for querying information based on spatial data and for building 3D models of terrain. They are used by client applications (for example, GIS WebServer SE) for automatic construction of 3D terrain models from two-dimensional tiles without the need for texture assignments.

Support has been added for the "Astra Linux Special Edition" operating system version 1.8. "Astra Linux Special Edition" is a domestically certified operating system with built-in information protection tools (IPT) for stable and secure operation of IT infrastructures of any scale and processing information of varying confidentiality levels. The OS includes a suite of programs for solving everyday office and multimedia tasks. In Astra Linux Special Edition version 1.8, the "Astra Proxima" visual style has been implemented, support for two Linux kernels (6.1 and 6.6) has been included, the process of deploying and updating the system has been simplified, and other important changes have been made.

Tile data generated by the Imagery Service program is used by GIS WebServer SE and GIS WebService SE software products to ensure high-speed execution of requests for displaying spatial data over large areas while simultaneously serving a large number of users. The new version of the program is available on the Download page.
