It has been rumoured that AOL is going to sell some of its peripheral properties. As part of this effort, it is planning to sell different units including ICQ instant-messaging unit and MapQuest online map service.
According to the owner Time Warner, this step has been taken to offload some assets and become a more focused company.
It is expected that, some of the mapping giants like Microsoft may be an ideal candidate to own that service. It is obvious because of the same service it has currently.
AOL bought the MapQuest online map service in 1999.
Earlier, Time Warner had indicated that it would spin off its AOL service to make a separate entity. So it is evident that the company is going for a transformation this time.

SuperGeo successfully develops ‘Irrigation Mobile Survey System’ for Chang Hua Irrigation Associations, Taiwan. The System is used to plan irrigation facilities, like canals and drainage channel, and to query and measure related facilities.Chang Hua Irrigation Associations utilize ‘Irrigation Mobile Survey System’ to plan irrigation facilities, such as irrigation canals and drainage channel, and to query, orient, and measure the relative facilities.
SuperGIS Mobile Engine is the core of Irrigation Mobile Survey System. With the various GIS components and the highly flexible development structures provided by SuperGIS Mobile Engine, developers can customize numerous buttons on toolbars, forms, etc., to meet users’ needs and to simplify the developing procedures. Moreover, since the association provides mobile devices for surveyors, each mobile device installing the system facilitates surveyors to do outdoor survey. SuperGIS Mobile Engine not only assists developers to establish the system effectively and flexibly, but also reduces the cost of development and extensive deploying the systems to mobile devices.
The friendly interface of Irrigation Mobile Survey System enables surveyors to complete the following tasks:
1. GIS basic manipulations, such as zoom in/out, panning, adding layers, etc.
2. Orientation Query, such as intersections, landmarks, cadastral, channels, etc.
3. Statistics analysis allows developers to measure irrigation area, cadastral area, channel length, and so on.
4. Data management assists users to query and maintain the data, such as irrigation facilities, works data, financial data, and also enables users to print statement and location map.
5. Camera function. With the activated GPS in PDA, as the user is taking pictures, the system can record the user’s coordinates and add a point feature on the map to create a corresponding image layer. Therefore, users can display the picture by hyperlink.

Warm greetings from Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) Bangkok, Thailand.
ADPC is happy to introduce you to its new course on “GIS for Disaster Risk Management”. We have successfully organized two regional courses at Bangkok. Based on a very positive response and feed back from our partner organizations and course participants, we are organizing the 3rd Regional course from 11-22 May 2009 with the collaboration of;
The International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) Enschede, The Netherlands The Geoinformatics Center, Asian Institute of Technology (AIT-GIC) Bangkok, Thailand It is pertinent to mention that on receiving positive feed back and duly meeting the need and objectives of the course, we have decided to conduct two courses this year. This specific course has been designed for the beginners in GIS, suitable for the Disaster Management practitioners who will initiate work on using GIS in Disaster Risk Management. The 2nd course is scheduled in December 2009 and would focus more on advanced GIS, more suitable for GIS professionals as well as DM practitioners.
The course on “GIS for Disaster Risk Management (GRSDM-3)” provides an excellent opportunity for Disaster Management practitioners to obtain essential skills and knowledge in GIS and their current application in disaster risk management. Participants will gain practical and technical knowledge on the uses of GIS in disaster prevention, preparedness and emergency response. Extensive exercises and simulations provide an insight into how GIS tools are applied in these fields, and the benefits and solutions that can be presented. Further detail information along with application form are available in the attached brochure and can also be found on http://www.itc.nl/education/courses/course_descriptions/_pdf/C09-ESA-TM-01.pdf or http://www.adpc.net/v2007/Downloads/2009/May/01_GIS_for_DRM[1].pdf or http://www.geoinfo.ait.ac.th

When it comes to winter weather, emergency planners say, ‘Be prepared’ January 15, 2009

The heavy snowfall in December and the windstorms that blasted us in January make it clear that winter on Whidbey Island can be a bit of an adventure.
No matter what kind of winter-related emergencies you may encounter, emergency service officials agree that becoming familiar with the relief services offered in your community is an essential part of personal preparation.
Island County services
The Island County Department of Emergency Management is at the center of the Island’s emergency services.
But while the department is ready to help in the event of an emergency, “the government is not in the business of bailing you out,” Deputy Director David Hollett said.
Emergency service agencies are set up to rescue people in times of a disaster, not take care of them for extended periods. In other words, when the power goes out, there is no secret county warehouse where the masses can go to get free batteries.
“It rests on the shoulders of each individual to be prepared,” he said.

City to adopt mapping program January 9, 2009
Posted by bahadirkhan in Duyuru (Announcements), English, Haber (News).Tags: Geographical Information System
add a comment
Ingleside is looking for someone to run a brand-new geographical information system for at least a year (until Nov. 30) or longer if the city council approves an extension.
The position, for a geographical information system analyst, is funded by a grant and will go along with a computer system that’s being installed – also under a grant.
City Manager Jim Gray said he wants to have the system up and running in a year or less.
Geographical information systems, known as GIS, provide a base map of a city or other area on a computer. The owner of the GIS can then overlay such things as streets, water and sewer lines or other utilities.
“It’s a great tool to use to show various aspects of the community to potential investors or developers,” Gray said.
“As a planning too, GIS allows us to layer in just about any information anyone might want.”
While graphic information systems is a relatively new field, Gray said universities are already offering degrees in the field. One of those is Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Gray said. (more…)

Türkiye’de basılacak ve ithal edilecek tüm haritalara askerden onay alma şartı getiriliyor. Bundan böyle tüm haritaları askerler denetleyecek. Buna uymayanlara 5 yıla kadar hapis cezası verilecek.
Meclis Milli Savunma Komisyonu Başkanı Kemal Yardımcı tarafından Meclis Başkanlığı’na sunulan ve 38 maddeden oluşan kanun teklifinde, başta Askerlik Kanunu olmak üzere pek çok kanunda değişiklik öngören teklifte, haritalarla ilgili değişikliğe de yer verildi. Kanun teklifinde, Türkiye’de basılacak veya ithal edilecek tüm haritaların, Harita Genel Komutanlığı’ndan onay alınması şartı getirilmesi isteniyor.
Düzenlemeye göre, Harita Genel Komutanlığı’ndan uygunluk onayı alınmadan basılan, dağıtılan, yayımlanan ve “Türklüğün manevi değerlerini” tehlikeye düşürecek haritalar nedeniyle 2 yıldan 5 yıla kadar hapis ve 5 bin güne kadar adli para cezası ile cezalandırılacak.
