Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of Tuvalu, 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".

Specialists from KB "Panorama" together with students from MIIGAiK have prepared a video tutorial on working with the "Thematic Map Creation" mode. This task is available in GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator" and other software products from KB "Panorama".

A thematic map is a type of map that displays the distribution or spread of a specific phenomenon, feature or characteristic across a territory. Its purpose is to visualize and analyze spatial patterns and relationships related to a specific topic. The thematic map creation procedure is designed to generate graphic images that clearly illustrate the ratio of values of a selected characteristic for individual objects on a digital map.

The video tutorial demonstrates the process of creating a thematic map. Objects previously selected on the source map are processed in this procedure. Information according to which the selected map objects will be colored can be contained in the semantics of the objects themselves, in a user database table (DBF) or in text files (TXT).

For creating thematic maps, both tables previously linked to the map and those without connections to it can be used. The connection can be established using both numerical and string values. The only limitation is that the linking semantics and linking field must have the same type (both numerical or both string).

The training materials can be accessed in the "Video Tutorials" section

Specialists from KB "Panorama" have updated the S57navy.rscz digital classifier for nautical charts to support S52 standard updates. Based on the IHO TRANSFER STANDARD for DIGITAL HYDROGRAPHIC DATA Publication S-57 Appendix A - Chapter 2 document, attribute characteristics have been clarified, and Appendix A - Chapter 1 object codes have been updated. In accordance with document S-52 Annex A: IHO ECDIS Presentation Library Addendum to Part I: S-52 ENC Symbol Catalogue, the visual appearance of objects has been refined.

As part of the update, a new classifier layer - "Archipelagic Sea Lane" - was added. The "Objects for Mariners" layer was enhanced. The classifier now includes 52 new conventional signs. Three characteristics have been added: "CLSDEF Class Definition", "CLSNAM Class Name", "SYMINS Symbol Instruction". The sizes of all signs in the classifier, key values and codes of semantic characteristics and conventional signs have been clarified.

When importing S57 nautical charts, datasets with nautical chart updates (ER profile) are processed, which are located in files with extensions 001, 002, 003 and so on. Update files must be placed together with the original dataset with extension 000 in one folder or according to the folder structure per IHO S57/S63 standards.

S-57 is the main international format for navigational digital charts, intended for data exchange between hydrographic services, agencies, cartographic product manufacturers and systems. To ensure the prescribed format display of conventional signs for marine navigational charts, the IML library s57navy.iml is used. The S57navy.rscz digital classifier is included in GIS "Panorama" for applying S57 standard nautical charts.

The updated classifier is available for download in the "Classifiers" section.

Specialists from KB "Panorama" have prepared a video tutorial on working with the "Approach Route Input" mode of the "Aeronautical Information Document Preparation" application task in GIS "Panorama". The database involves storing approach routes regardless of their category, type, flight rules, and radio navigation aid used to construct their segments. The aeronautical information database specification does not separate approach routes into instrument or visual approaches. The separation occurs according to route parameter values, types of maneuvers used, and established aircraft categories when displaying information on the map.

The video tutorial demonstrates approach route database management. The dialog form consists of an aerodrome list and an approach route creation area. Approach route schemes do not have names. Division can be conducted by aircraft categories or execution phases - missed approach route and descent route in the holding pattern area. Instrument flight routes consist of segments (maneuvers). The complex identifies maneuvers by code and creates segment objects on the map in accordance with the description in the "Manual for Instrument Flight Procedure Construction".

Maneuvers are performed with specific flight parameters, location, aircraft state, and radio navigation aid availability. Each parameter for a specific maneuver can be mandatory, optional, or inadmissible. The mode's dialog window contains a "Route Maneuver Panel with Navigator". Using the navigator, you can create a new maneuver and edit parameters of the selected maneuver. Maneuver type replacement is used when it's necessary to change the type of an erroneous maneuver in the list and delete the maneuver. Unlike deletion of aeronautical chart elements, maneuvers are physically deleted and cannot be restored.

The training materials can be accessed in the "Video Tutorials" section.
