Geographic Studio - Map and Manage your World!

During an emergency situation, whether it is a natural or man made disaster, features of the landscape change at lightening speed, at any time and often in ways that are impossible to predict.  Responding effectively to a disaster requires information about the situation to flow seamlessly and quickly between field operatives & control centres.

Geographic Studio, is a sophisticated application developed specifically for managing and analysing emergency situations. Whether you are in a helicopter charting the active edge of a fire line or on the ground in the line of fire Geographic Studio provides up to date maps at your fingertips. Field operatives can pan, interact and attach information without a complex GIS system and without requiring a network.

Geographic Studio, emergency response crews can:

  • Record active and dead edge of fires using a GPS direct onto the map
  • Create interactive elevation profiles of a designated route from a truck, helicopter, in fact just about anywhere
  • Full searching capabilities by State, type of place, name or text or geographic area
  • Calculate areas designated to find the nearest lake for water, or the nearest airports and display this data in multiple area formats
  • Highlight shaded relief 
  • Upload/download GPS points, routes and tracks by synchronizing a palm or pocket pc (PDA) with the desktop PC
