Steinkjer municipal information client

This client was created for Steinkjer municipal and was created as an alternative to the solutions they have been using earlier. It was never developed further than the prototype stage, as Bravida Geomatikk division Steinkjer was closed down.

The application contains functionality for extracting information about real estate and place of resident, and also combining this information to create more comprehensive reports.

One of the most interesting functions, is taht it is possible to fint the cross-section between a property and area class. This means that you could select an area consisting of spruce forest inside a property. If you click in this area, the selected segment will be cut at the end of the property. This functionality does also make it possible to create reports on what classes of areas you can find within a given property.

GIS in Schools

A pre-project test application made for the SkoleGIS (Norwegian text) project that is about to start. The goal of this project is to introduce GIS as a helping tool in school. By letting students use this service, they might themselves browse the map, select a point at the map, and add a point of interest with more information. This point could then be read by other students at the same school. If the other student finds this interesting, he could select this point, and add comments to it. Read more about a similar success-project in Denmark here. (Danish text)

Has later evolved into Kart i Skolen (Norwegian text).

Shape file viewer

This application is utilizing the GeoTools toolkit to show maps as shape-files. This format was created by the leading developer of mapping software for net, ESRI. As the functionality of this toolkit was as I wanted them to be, I didn't need to change or add any new tools to it. Please note that you will need to have Java Runtime installed on your computer in order for this application to run.
  • Supports all files in shape format.
  • History that remembers your map extents.
  • Zooming, panning and full extent.
