• IKONOS panchromatic + IKONOS color images.
• Satellite image + aerial photograph

» Integrated Internet Map Servers

Manifold includes a powerful Internet Map Server that you publish your maps to Internet for people worldwide to view. The map server allows browsing, panning, and zooming within maps that you choose to publish as well as support for queries, information tools and layer selection if desired. Advanced users can customize the map server to create spectacular Internet pages. Manifold IMS (Internet Map Server) provides a high performance web mapping solution that's powerful enough for organizations yet affordable by individuals. Manifold IMS works with standard web browsers and requires no plug ins, no programming and no costly middleware.



» Integrated GPS Capability s

Manifold can work with any NMEA compatible GPS device connected to your computer's serial port. Use the GPS for a "moving map" effect to automatically move the map as you travel. Automatic data acquisition can sample the GPS on demand or automatically by time interval. This is a great way to create new maps: farmers who want to map their property can simply rig up a laptop computer running Manifold with a portable GPS and then drive the boundaries of their ranch and the roads to create a new map. Cities can mark their assets by simply driving to different locations and using the GPS console to mark the locations of fire hydrants, bridges, electrical equipment or other assets. WAAS-equipped GPS devices now retail for under $200 and can provide 2 meter accuracy - a great way to create new maps with Manifold!



» Extraordinary Selection Capabilities s

Manifold has the best selection commands and capabilities in GIS. A variety of mouse-based, command-based, toolbar and language methods allow perfect selection with speed and power. Unlike old-fashioned GIS packages, Manifold can actually transfer selections between images, surfaces and drawings within maps. For example, select all pixels of temperature T in an raster temperature image and then automatically select all road lines in a drawings that fall within the selected pixel ranges. Manifold provides saved selections and Boolean combinations between saved selections and the current selection, as well as Boolean selection combinations using mouse commands. Manifold also supports Visual Studio style "smart mouse" auto-selection in drawings and programming forms.



» A Spatial Editing / Selection Transfer example s

Manifold 6.50 can transfer selections from vector drawing layers in a map to image layers or surface layers and vice versa. This technique allows "cookie-cutting" of images using drawing areas as a guide. The thumbnails at left show an image of Afghanistan that has been cookie-cut out of the NASA "Blue Marble" image of the Earth as seen from space. The Afghanistan image has been exactly trimmed to the borders of Afghanistan shown in a countries drawing. One screenshot shows just the Afghanistan image alone in Latitude / Longitude projection.
