What’s MapCast?

Viewed 916 Times 0 Comments

MapCast is a live, on-demand connection to First Base Solutions’ complete library of high-resolution orthophotography and elevation contours served directly into your CAD or GIS workstation. It’s a Web Mapping Service (WMS); a standard protocol used for serving georeferenced map images over the Internet. Once you connect MapCast into your WMS compliant software, the aerial imagery base layer will load into your mapping project in a similar way as data layers you store locally. Having an external data source available through a WMS like MapCast reduces internal network loads and the costs associated with data storage and management. It is an efficient and cost effective way for organizations to access large data sets, reduce network overhead, and avoid data purchase, management and update costs. First Base Solutions handles it for you.
