One of the most important and distinctive features of GEODI is that it can produce maps with both structured and unstructured data. Unlike traditional GIS software, GEODI does not require tabular data. The place name in a PDF, or the parcel number in a document, or the kilometer value in a road project is recognized as a location. It can bring together a large number of data that do not fit together schematically.

In addition to geographic maps, GEODI can also use an electrical diagram or a picture of an airplane as a "map". 

Defining a Map Base

Definitions for Google, Bing come ready-made. We are not responsible for any royalties or additional fees or other liabilities that may be required for the use of these underlays. Please check with the respective provider pages.

The Layer List in the Project Wizard also includes underlay options. You can use an image you have, CAD files like DWG/DGN, files like GPX, geoTIFF, KML or TileJSON/WMS Servers as underlays. The underlays you define will be specific to your project. If you share your project files, you should also share the underlay files.

The underlays must have a coordinate system. For this, you must enter the appropriate EPSG and the limit coordinate values (BBOX) corresponding to this EPSG. With this method you can use any image as a map, such as the Cessna 172 in the "interactive documentation" project.

If the EPSG value you want to use is outside the existing definitions, WKT values must be created in a file named "EPSG-<epsgno>.WKT" under the GEODI/Projections directory. If you define your own EPSG value, 100000 and above prevents conflicts with existing EPSG codes. If you share your projects with others, you should also share the values you assign.

http://www.epsg-registry.org is a good resource to produce WKT from EPSG. Apart from this, the projection tools of the GIS software you use can also help you. ArcGIS, Netcad or others can store projections as WKT.

For DWG, DGN, DXF or NCZ with unknown projection, you can define a projection with an external metafile. For CAD files with unknown projection, GEODI's generic external feature definition capability is used.

To use maps in different GIS software

WMS

You can use GEODI maps in different software via OGC WMS. In this way, ArcGIS, netcad GIS, Autocad Civil 3D, GeoServer, Google Earth software or all software using infrastructures such as Open Layers, Leaflet can use the map produced with GEODI's non-structural data.

GEODI supports the OGC WMS 1.3.0 standard. In other words, when you click on the map on clients that support the 1.3.0 standard, the dialog opened in GEODI opens.

WMS offers live connection. When you change the query on the GEODI side, the published map changes. (If you have problems with the change, you should check the cache settings of the relevant software)

KML

You can export the GEODI Map as KML. KML is not dynamic. It is not affected by GEODI queries or new content.
