Poland Implements Web Mapping Solution

The Gdansk administrative region of the Poland National Forestry Service has added to its website a public access web mapping solution developed from the TatukGIS Internet Server product.

The web mapping solution is designed to help the general public better utilise Forest Service lands for recreational activities. A second incidence of this GIS server solution will soon be hosted by the Poznan administrative region of the Poland National Forestry Service covering the Forest Service administered lands in that district.

The Poland National Forest Service manages one of the largest commercial forestry operations in Europe, on approximately 10 million hectors of public lands representing nearly 20% of the land area of Poland. The Forest Service manages this land for forest cultivation, sustainable harvesting of forest products, general ecological practices, and controlled public recreation. Common recreational activities on Forest Service lands include hiking, bicycling, kayaking, mushroom picking, viewing natural monuments, etc.

Generally this solution uses SHP file map layers (200MB in total), but SQL database map layers are used for the more interactive features, e.g., objects of interest, symbols, trails, routes drawn by the on-line user, etc. The direct link to this map server application running on the Forest Service (Gdansk Region) website is: http://195.117.249.125/etur/AppMapa.aspx

The TatukGIS Internet Server is a comprehensive GIS development toolkit provided as an ASP.NET internet server.
