Technical aspects
Geomatics
We aim at providing our mapping results in a way accessible
to Geographical Information Softwares (GIS) to enable accurate
in-depth analysis by the consultancies.
We have chosen a well-known format for the GIS data exchange,
i.e. the MIF/MID format developed by MapInfo. We have chosen to represent array
data as rectangle map objects, using the RECT x1, y1,
x2, y2 statement of the MIF/MID standard. If you are using
a coordinate system different from that of our GIS-files, then
you have to reproject that data to your own coordinate system
(such as UTM or Mercator) to enable overlays with your own layers,
probably.
