What Marine GeoGarage changes is the concept of nautical electronic charts viewing: Marine GeoGarage is world's first nautical charts web portal -with data directly coming from International Hydrographic Services- built as a Software as a Service ( SaaS ) available in free and pay-per-use model. What is really cool about the site is that you can export out those saved routes and move them over directly to your Garmin GPS unit via the Garmin Communicator Plugin. Marine GeoGarage proposes a feature (without any Login process) where the user can drop waypoints and create custom routes but which can also be saved if the user asks for a free account. So nautical charts can be viewed online with advanced quilting process (mosaic image with removed borders -map collars- for a seamless rendering display of multiple charts), zooming in and out, panning in a continuous way for selecting the specified map scale automatically (so the appropriate map), by simply sliding the mouse roll, with full transparency management via layer opacity sliders (for terrestrial maps and orthophoto overlay) and Google local search (marinas, harbour services.) Marine GeoGarage has figured out a way to overlay a complete set of nautical raster charts over Google Maps. Our website is dedicated to any sailor or mariner who plans to study his next trip at sea, comfortably installed at home. In March 2010, Magic Instinct Software has launched Marine GeoGarage, the nautical charts web portal That's why MIS has developed the GeoGarage spatial image server solution which can also be associated to the Google Maps viewer : raster charts tiling solution, with hosting possibilities. NEW : as the size of the chart is important, you will see it's quite long (or even impossible) to view the map using kml embedded raster file solution : so the basic overlayer in GM is not appropriate in this case without any raster tiling solutions. To view a kml or kmz file on GM, just go to GM, and instead of searching for a geographical address, search for a complete web address (including the " part) of your kmz file.īut this is only OK for crude display of low-resolution raster files and with some approximated geo-positionning : GM uses Mercator projection and GE Plate Carrée (geographical) projection : Google gives the ability to show simple kml/kmz files (as made in GE) in GM : so you can add your own imagery directly on top of GM.
