Intergraph "Advertising"

While I was posting the Virtual Earth video on YouTube, I ran across this video. Too funny (and yes, Intergraph related :-) )

After GeoMedia 6.1

Posted by jeffhobbs on August 9, 2007

One of the presentations at yesterday’s NCIGUC meeting was by Steve Hoffman of Intergraph. He discussed some of the upcoming features in GeoMedia 6.1. I’ve covered quite a few of them here. I will attempt to cover more over the next few weeks.

Did want to point out that one of the "post-6.1" but before 6.2 enhancements will be tighter integrations with Google Earth, Google Maps, and Microsoft Virtual Earth.

On the Google Earth side, there will be a finalized Export to KML command. I say finalized because there’s a beta version of the command that’s been floating around in different circles for the last six+ months.

There will also be a KML Data Server…very cool if you ask me! 

Finally, Intergraph will also be doing a lot more with Microsoft Virtual Earth. In fact, looking at an AVI, it appears that you will be able to load Virtual Earth inside of the legend window inside of GeoMedia. Then, you can interact with Virtual Earth and your map window will move pan and zoom as you pan and zoom in Virtual Earth. Looks very cool.

I’ve placed an AVI of the Virtual Earth/GeoMedia demonstration on YouTube. It can be viewed here.

Yesterday’s NCIGUC Meeting

Posted by jeffhobbs on August 9, 2007

Yesterday’s NCIGUC meeting was very good. Had a lot of very good presentations and the afternoon hands-on seminar were excellent. We even had a person come out from Nevada – very cool to see the user group going that far! We should have all of the presentations posted on the NCIGUC web site soon. Once we do, I’ll post a entry and let you all know.
