OpenCities™ Map CONNECT Edition

Geospatial software to model your assets in your GIS repository

OpenCities Map provides efficient capabilities to model assets

in a GIS repository. The software works with reality data to
enhance your project context. The application also provides
interoperability capabilities and a collection of thoughtful
data standards. Directly edit features in spatial databases
like Oracle Spatial, SQL Server, and PostGIS. OpenCities Map
offers a strong, yet flexible, application program interface (API)
with high-level geospatial functionality to increase application
performance and reduce development time. Moreover, you can
work with hundreds of additional file formats using optional
FME integration.
