Fortius Geospatial Review Releases Beta Version of the analysis platform
Technology Takes Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth to Next Level of Location Intelligence
Washington, DC –the company announced today the availability of its beta web service for fast and intuitive map analysis, the analysis platform, on the website www.geoiq.com. the analysis platform takes today's mapping technologies like Google Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth to the next level by giving people with no expertise a fast, simple way to filter, analyze and get more insight from geographic data.
"We believe the analysis platform represents the next logical step for web mapping technologies like Google Maps, Yahoo! Maps and Microsoft Virtual Earth,” said the founder, CEO and founder at the company. "To date, the information displayed on web maps has mostly been limited to showing the locations of data points. But to be really useful, web mapping applications need to offer much more than push pins. They need to empower people to make decisions based on all of the geographic data out there.”
the analysis platform uses colorful heat maps to show the results of data queries and analyses, like how does location "A” compare to location "B” in terms of any number of data parameters or criteria. Screen shots and demos of the technology are available at http://www.geoiq.com.
"Maps are excellent tools for visualizing and interpreting lots of information,” said Gorman. "Everyone should be able to analyze geographic data. We believe the analysis platform puts these tools in the hands of people with no expertise for the first time, so they can make better decisions, at home and at work, about where to locate or invest or find whatever combination of things they're looking for.”
the analysis platform is available to the marketplace in three different versions. The the analysis platform API for Developers is a robust programming interface that developers can use to add compelling visualization and decision support to their web mapping applications. the analysis platform API for Enterprise enables business and government users to quickly combine, analyze and get information from disparate sets of geographic data. The the analysis platform web mapping application gives non-technical allows users to instantly start analyzing multiple geographic data sets.
