Mymap: publish your maps with Cart@netShare a map in any part of the world with users of any country: this is
the result promised by Mymap, the free service realized by Planetek Italia
s.r.l. to manage your images in Internet. Using this service it is
possible to share and promote on the Web raster images of any kind, in ECW
format, using Cart@net®. Thanks to Mymap, in a few minutes, you can see
on-line your orthophotos, aerial photos, satellite images, raster
cartography and any other kind of images, geocoded or not, and you can
share everything with you friends in any part of the world. Mymap can be
used also to try the the performances of Image Web Server, e.g. to publish
a geocoded image and display it inside an ArcView or Autocad client. -
A new dress for the italian ANPA: now APATFrom "National Agency for the Environmental Protection" to "Agency for the Protection of the Environment and for the Technical Services". The ANPA, together with the Technical Services of the Presidency of the Counsel, with the National Geological Service, the State Idrographic Service, has become APAT. A restyling that has brought to the creation of a big environmental structure with more than 1400 people. The restructuring of the ANPA, that involves the transfer to a bigger sector of intervention, confirms the importance of the agencies system as an essential tool to support the realization of the environmental policy in Italy. Among the functions assigned to the System of Agencies of environmental Protection, the most important are the technical-scientific task for the identification of the priorities of environmental intervention on the territory.

In Rome, a new course of GIS& Remote Sensing next week
It will be repeated, from the 9th to the 13th December 2002, in a new
venue, the seventh edition of the GIS& Remote Sensing Course. The course,
structured in practical and theoretical sessions and organized by Planetek
Italia in cooperation with MondoGIS, will take place in Rome, Via
D`Onofrio 166. The course is addressed to professionals, researchers,
administrators, students and in general to people operating in the study,
planning and management of the territory, that in 5 days will reach basic
skills in the field of the integration of Remote Sensing with Geographical
Information Systems. The themes will be explained through the presentation
of applications and the simulation of a real case of study, integrating
Earth Observation data with GIS systems. -
The wireless safeguard of the environmentThanks to a new WebGis application, realized from APAT and ARPA Piemonte,
it is possible to make campaigns on the field, always having available on
a palmtop the whole cartography of the area of interest, with on-line
access. The application uses mobile PDA integrated with GPS and connected
to GPRS mobile phones using bluetooth technology. ArcPad is installed on
the palmtop that can visualize the cartography directly loaded on the
palmtop or read it directly from the server that uses ArcIMS integrated
with Image Web Server. The integrated use of ArcIms and Image Web Server
allows to connect to geographical data of any size dimension (also the
whole ortofoto coverage of Lazio region) with performances never reached
up to today. This way the geocoded information, as soon as they are
collected on the field, may immediately be transferred from the palmtop to
the server for the database update. -
IN.P.U.T.: the satellite to the service of Public Administrations
The results of the IN.P.U.T project - Innovation of the Urbanistic
Processes by Remote Sensing have been presented in Naples. The meeting,
organized by the Italian Spatial Agency and the Technapoli Consortium in
cooperation with the Province of Naples, has been useful to present the
results reached on the main objective of the IN.P.U.T project, that
consists in the transfer of technological competencies and technologies in
the use of satellites for the Local Public Administrations. The project
has been realized by Tecnopolis and Planetek Italia for the area of Bari,
and by Technapoli and CO.RI.S.T.A Consortium for the Neapolitan area.
