LorikCartographer

Creation and management of cartographic repositories

​

LorikCartographer is dedicated to the creation, the management and the update of cartographic repositories from a large range of various data sources. LorikCartographer provides a set of performing tools to create new data from georeferenced raster background, to import GIS data with LorikGISMapper or graphic files. Data are adapted to a same coordinates system and to a same graphic template to build a cartographic database from which printed or online products will be created. LorikCartographer also offers an efficient solution to update and make the most of existing conventional cartographic collections available as printing films.

LorikDigital
Digital publishing
 

LorikDigital automatically creates mosaics of raster or vector tiles from various data sources (GIS, spatial

databases or LorikSoftware cartographic repositories). Created tiles are directly usable by Internet, Intranet or mobile applications. A series of processes is automatically applied in one operation to create high quality cartographic contents as well as an entire set of customizable text files with supplementary information in order to integrate the mosaics in any application and produce rich content.
