About Geographic Web Services
Over the past two decades, geographic information systems (GIS) came of age as businesses and government realized that much of the data they maintained was spatial in nature - and the advantages of harnessing computer power to displaying and analyzing geographic data. These efforts were initially very expensive as early GIS development required the creation of geodatasets from a variety of sources (existing paper maps, aerial photography, engineering drawings and GPS surveys). Today, geographic data has become so plentiful that it is now a commodity. The major providers of online geographic information offer geographic services for free with visually attractive but very basic applications (Google Earth, Google Maps, Microsoft Bing Maps, and ESRI's ArcGIS Explorer).
Amber Waves Can Help You Tap the Geographic Web
Tapping the potential of Geographic Web Services means harnessing the application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by services like Google Maps or Microsoft Bing Maps. Amber Waves Software can help you realize the power of the Geographic Web.
Amber Waves Software develops desktop and cloud-based geographic information systems applications and geosimulation models compatible with ESRI products, MapWindow open source products, and geographic web services such as:
- Google Earth,
- Google Maps,
- Microsoft Bing Maps,
- ArcGIS Explorer.
