Geoportal "Bank of spatial data" has been supplemented with a map of the Cook Islands, 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 "Text Placement", "Save/Add Stamp", and "Additional Design" modes in the "Report Designer" task toolbar. The discussed modes are available in GIS "Panorama", GIS "Operator", and other software products from KB "Panorama" for the "Astra Linux Special Edition" operating system.

The video tutorial demonstrates the stages of placing graphic design elements on a report layout: north arrow icons, linear scale images, and decorative borders. The design objects are created according to the mapreport.rsc classifier, which is intended for preparing map layouts and reports for publication. Special attention is paid to working with stamps—standardized elements recommended to be created as graphic objects for universal use on any maps. The integration of prepared stamp templates with a preview capability is shown. Additionally, the importance of classifier compatibility is clarified: if the map classifier differs from the template classifier, it may disrupt the correctness of the design.

This video material will be useful for specialists involved in designing and preparing cartographic materials for publication, including for creating standardized reports and map layouts of the required format. The training materials can be found in the "Video Tutorials" section.

Specialists from KB "Panorama" have successfully conducted tests confirming the compatibility and correct operation of GIS Constructor in the RED OS versions 7.3 and 8. As a result of the tests, compatibility certificates were obtained.

GIS Constructor is a set of geoinformation components for the Qt Designer visual programming environment, allowing users to create their own GIS applications. Visualization of digital maps is performed using standard conventional symbols for topographic, general geographic, and special maps. The system supports multithreading, performing calculations and displaying spatial data on various graphical devices, as well as automatic optimization of RAM for processing large volumes of data. The GIS is included in the Unified Register of Russian Software for Electronic Computers and Databases (registry entry No. 1934 dated 09/23/2016).

"RED OS" is a Russian Linux-family operating system for servers and workstations. It meets the requirements of the Russian Government, is included in the register of domestic software, and is certified by the FSTEC of Russia. The system is built on an RPM-format package base and is created from Open Source code using proprietary solutions from RED SOFT. Development is carried out in a closed cycle, and all its components are securely stored in a repository located on the territory of the Russian Federation. The platform complies with international POSIX and LSB standards, ensuring broad compatibility with hardware and software. The OS is provided to legal entities on a paid basis and to individuals free of charge for non-commercial use.

The current version of GIS Constructor is available for download in the Download section.

The "Spatial Data Bank" geoportal has been supplemented with a map of the Independent State of Samoa, formed based on OpenStreetMap data. To work with the map, you can use the GIS Panorama Mini program or other software products from KB "Panorama".

The map has been converted to the modernized classifier for large-scale plans of scale 1: 5,000 (map5000m). The placement of updates in the spatial data bank was carried out using the Bank of Digital Maps and Remote Sensing Data program. Publishing the contents of the spatial data bank on the geoportal and providing access to the data for download are implemented using GIS WebServer SE.

Free maps based on OpenStreetMap data are available for download on the "Digital Maps" page.

Specialists from KB "Panorama" have prepared two video tutorials dedicated to the operation of the "Display of Air Traffic Service Areas" and "Display of Prohibited Areas and Restricted Areas" modes (first video lesson and second video lesson). These modes are available in the "Preparation of Aeronautical Information Documents" application task within GIS "Panorama".

The reviewed modes are designed for plotting and updating airspace elements on the map: prohibited, dangerous, and restricted areas. The division into Air Traffic Service (ATS) areas and prohibited areas is conditional and is used exclusively for preparing cartographic materials. Consequently, the display of both ATS areas and prohibited/restricted areas follows a unified scheme.

The video tutorials demonstrate the configuration of element parameters for their subsequent plotting or updating on a user map. Selection by code, name, and zone type is performed using a filter. Additionally, the selection of elements based on their belonging to one or several ICAO regions is provided via the "Region" field.

When the "Numbering" and "Continuous" flags are activated, all airspace elements are arranged in the order adopted for the aeronautical information publication, with continuous numbering. If these flags are not set, the numbering of prohibited areas is carried out considering the types by which they are sorted. Before plotting objects on the map, it is possible to form a label displaying the values of the upper and lower altitude limit semantics in meters, feet, or both units of measurement.

This video material will be useful for specialists involved in creating and updating aeronautical data, preparing documents for flight schemes, and ensuring the functioning of the air traffic management system. You can review the training materials in the "Video Tutorials" section.
