Head over to the [...]]]> We are happy to announce the launch of version 1.5 of out MI Streetview tools. The big new feature in this tool is the ability to generate a tab file of the streetview images that you generate.

This can be automatically added to your MapInfo session as a non-earth raster

Head over to the MI Streetview download page to try it out

As always we would love to hear your thoughts on the tool.

We have released a new version of MI Streetview V1,2 which allows you to view Google streetview imagery in MapInfo Pro.

We have released a new version of MI Streetview V1,2 which allows you to view Google streetview imagery in MapInfo Pro. The previous version did not always zoom to the correct location on non windows PC’s. If you experienced such a problem we are sorry and we have administered severe beatings to those reponsible to ensure it will not happen again.

In the meantime the fixed application is available for trial here http://www.polygongis.com/index.php/mi-streetview-download/ and can also be purchased directly through our online store if you require more than 1 seat please let us know

Thanks,

For those of you who cannot wait you can grab our .tab file here  http://www.polygongis.com/index.php/2011/02/05/mapinfo-10-5-and-openstreetmap-raster/

Anybody looking for free (as in free beer) screen sharing should checkout the http://www.mikogo.com/ tool, a very handy utility to have if you want to share our screen or perform remote maintenance on another

This is what the prof had to say:

function parseFloat( name ) { name = name.replace(/[[]/,"[").replace(/[]]/,"]"); var regexS = "[?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)"; var regex = new RegExp( regexS ); var [...]]]> If you are every looking to take the querystring variables out of a url (e.g. http://www.polygongis.com?x=2340006&y=356000 client side (think x,y coordinates for a Google Maps page) the following function will do it for you

function parseFloat( name )
{
  name = name.replace(/[[]/,"[").replace(/[]]/,"]");
  var regexS = "[?&]"+name+"=([^&#]*)";
  var regex = new RegExp( regexS );
  var results = regex.exec( window.location.href );
  if( results == null )
    return "";
  else
    return results[1];
}

									

You can then get your parameters by referencing it as follows

'//parsefloat to ensure it is cast as a float
var x = parseFloat(parseURL('x'));
									

1)Download the library from http://trac.osgeo.org/proj4js/

2)Include the library as part of your html page

<script src="proj4js-combined.js"></script>

3) Add the definitions for your coordinate [...]]]> The Proj4js library – http://trac.osgeo.org/proj4js/ – is the business when you want to have some client side coordinate conversion
Here are three simple steps to get working

1)Download the library from http://trac.osgeo.org/proj4js/

2)Include the library as part of your html page

<script src="proj4js-combined.js"></script>
									

3) Add the definitions for your coordinate systems, via EPSG codes,  that will be converting to/from

Proj4js.defs["EPSG:29902"] = "+proj=tmerc +lat_0=53.5 +lon_0=-8 +k=1.000035 +x_0=200000 +y_0=250000 +a=6377340.189 +b=6356034.447938534 +units=m +towgs84=482.5,-130.6,564.6,-1.042,-0.214,-0.631,1.6810581709138355 +no_defs";

Proj4js.defs["EPSG:4326"] = "+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs";
									

You can use http://www.spatialreference.org/ to get the definitions you need

4) Once you have all that set up you are ready to convert

'//Define the source Coord Sys
var src = new Proj4js.Proj("EPSG:29902");
'//Define the destination Coord Sys  
var dst = new Proj4js.Proj("EPSG:4326");
'//Create a point object
var point = new Proj4js.Point(x, y);
'//Do your conversion
Proj4js.transform(src, dst, point)
'//The point object no has the converted coordinates
alert(point.y + "," + point.x);   
									

Happy Converting

As it’s name suggests the tool allows you to view Google Streetview from inside MapInfo Professional 9.5+.  The tool is quite easy to use once loaded a new pegman icon is added to your MapInfo session. Click the tool and then click anywhere on your map window to see StreetView for that area. If streetview is not available default Google Maps will be displayed.
