GEOCONCEPT, the leading designer of geographical optimisation technologies for professionals, today announced the launch of Geoconcept 7.1, the new version of its technological geo-optimisation engine.

4D, a new way of manipulating data

By putting the dynamic display of qualitative, quantitative or temporal data at the heart of its mapping engine, 4D, which stands for 4th dimension, offers Geoconcept’s users new opportunities for displaying and analysing mapping data in dynamic mode. Thanks to a modification of the data model and query engine, which becomes spatio-temporal, the mapping display and geographical analyses can now time-travel.
 
 

Advanced interoperability

Benefiting from the development of multi-tactile devices (portable PCs and tablets, screens...), Geoconcept 7.1 features an uncluttered and intuitive interface, thus providing access to navigation, selection and object creation functions in “multi-touch” mode. A real bonus for all users who are now able to work on their maps interactively and intuitively. Users in the field, technicians or members of the emergency services, for example, are especially impressed by this innovation.
 

A redesigned external data link

The development of the “links” menu simplifies access to the most frequently used external data. Imports/exports are facilitated for different types of format (Excel or Access, shapefile, text, raster...). A new data source using the GDAL/OGR library provides access to several dozen import formats such as Google Earth’s KML format. Finally, there is guaranteed compatibility with the latest versions of PostGreSQL/PostGIS.
 

Layout rich in new functionality

Geoconcept 7.1 now offers the link between map blocks at different scales, making it possible to display how one fits into the other. It also enables a 3D view to be displayed in the layout. Finally, the improved configuration of rectangles, ellipses, polylines and the rotation of text blocks are part and parcel of the new sophisticated options in this latest version.
 

Geoconcept 7.1 is also...

  • The simplified generation of centroids and lines based on point analysis
  • Topological regrouping of lines
  • The duplication of objects in another sub type
  • The time-stamping of object modifications in a new dedicated field
  • A new look query editor...
 
At the launch of this new version, Eric Lanzi, GEOCONCEPT’s founder and CEO, said « Geoconcept 7.1 perfectly illustrates our determination to offer our users ever more powerful and ergonomic solutions. This new version incorporates our customers’ comments and technological innovations With Geoconcept 7.1, we are now also the first GIS publisher to put 4D at the heart of the system, opening up new opportunities and providing even greater interactivity and dynamism. GEOCONCEPT is thereby responding to current professional geographical challenges, be it the availability and use of multidimensional geographical data or interoperability».
