Key Features
SAS.Planet provides a single interface for loading and processing cartographic material, which helps to solve the following problems:
- Despite the presence in the network of many geoservices that provide the ability to view cartographic material, they all differ in the quality and formats of the materials provided (by such parameters as the scale of maps, coverage of territories, displayed objects, etc.), which makes it difficult to find the desired map.
- Restrictions on access to most of these services, when the user has the ability to view the map only in the browser , often spending extra traffic on loading the same areas.
- The impossibility or difficulty for the user of individual geoservices to save the map section he needs in order to use it in their needs (for example, in navigation programs).
