Emomap engine is a revolutionary innovative system which has been developed to be pure web-based interactive map solution.
It has a lot of features and advantages over a traditional "tile-based" solution which uses gigant like Google, Yahoo and other.
In essence, the engine is capable of displaying geo data (imported from
virtually any geo-format) in a Flash movie and handle geo objects as an
interactive object, allowing to manipulate them freely (make them clickable,
moveable, jumpable, flyable and so on). We don't have to generate any tiles
like google maps, because the rendering engine is placed on the client side.
There are several benefits to this approach:
Features:
- small size of transferred data (100kb of gzipped XML vs 1Mb of "regular" rendered map);
- optimized for speed (< 0.5 sec on regular geo-enabled request - we had a really hard work to ensure such short response time);
- fully interactive experience (maps may look like MMORPG);
- instant updates;
- multilingual interface and data (Russian and English);
- editable in real time (coming soon);
- geo extensible URLs for quick access (checkout abakan.emomaps.com );
- API for developers;
- flexible geo-service integration.
We already have geodata for
Krasnoyarsk region and
Moscow region. We are looking forward to evolve, making more feature, taking more geo data and aggregating more directories.
