9. GeoMedia User Experience Refresh

10. Display Performance and New Ribbon GUI
 New Ribbon I/F with commands
logically grouped
 Ribbon has auto-hide capability
and legend can be minimized for
better use of screen space for
the display of more feature data
 Ribbon tabs for each GeoMedia
add-on
 Build you own ribbon tab for
customizing and creating unique
user workflows – save the tab for
reuse later
 Guide for docking legend
 Better overall user-experience

11. New Ribbon GUI - Video

12. Display Performance
 Client side cache of warehouse
connections significantly
improves data access
performance and ultimately the
rendering & display of feature
data in the map window.
 From 1 ½ min down to a matter
of seconds in some cases (e.g.
500K feature records)
 Cache file location is user
definable
 Cache is updated automatically
as edits are performed or when
the warehouse is reopened

13. GeoMedia Warehouse - Caching
Create a cache Index
for faster feature
discovery
Persist the cache for
faster loads
At least 2x startup
improvement after first
load

14. GeoMedia – Dynamic Labeling

15. Dynamic Labeling for Parcels
15

16. Text and Labeling
 OEM agreement with MapText
Inc. for embedding of GeoLabel
Pro functionality into the
GeoMedia Desktop Products
 Rules-based labeling + label
conflict resolution strategies =
better label positioning
 Dynamic labeling – labels are
quickly repositioned as the user
pans and zooms.
 Option for static labeling as well
 Individual labels can be reviewed
and edited to improve final
appearance

67. Leica Geosystems is part of the Hexagon Group.
Hexagon is a leading global provider of integrated
design, measurement and visualisation
technologies.
Hexagon has over 12,000 employees in more
than 40 countries and net sales of about 2,200

companies within the Hexagon Group.

68. What is Asset Collection &
Management?
The measurement of position and associated information of items of
economic value that are owned by an individual or organisation.
These (primarily) physical assets can be
land, buildings, machinery, furniture, tools and resources.
Assets are often managed in a software system
and the geographic position and associated
information is viewed, updated, analysed and
output using a Geographic Information System
(GIS). GIS can be used by everyone – Google
and Bing are flavours of GIS as well as
enterprise systems such as Esri ArcGIS,
Geomedia from Intergraph and MapInfo.

69. Why Asset Collection &
Management?
Why collect asset information in the field?
Data is current and up-to-date
Update is in real-time
Positional accuracy is improved
Asset information is verified
Inspection of assets
Undertaken with affordable solutions
