Portable globe creation for geographical information system
Portable globes may be provided for viewing regions of interest in a Geographical Information System (GIS). A method for providing a portable globe for a GIS may include determining one or more selected regions corresponding to a geographical region of a master globe. The method may further include organizing geospatial data from the master globe based on the selected region and creating the portable globe based on the geospatial data. The portable globe may be smaller in data size than the master globe. The method may include transmitting the portable globe to a local device that may render the selected region at a higher resolution than the remainder of the portable globe in the GIS. A system for providing a portable globe may include a selection module, a fusion module and a transmitter. A system for updating a portable globe may include a packet bundler and a globe cutter.
1. A method for rendering geospatial data on a local device, the geospatial data obtained from a remote device located remotely from the local device, the method comprising:
querying, by one or more processors, a database for one or more geographical coordinates associated with a region;
accessing, by the one or more processors, geospatial data in response to the query, the geospatial data obtained from a remote device such that geospatial data associated with the region obtained from the remote device is associated with a higher resolution than geospatial data associated with a geographic area located outside the region, the geospatial data comprising vector data associated with the region;
rendering, by the one or more processors, the geospatial data including the vector data at the local device with reduced network connectivity to the remote device;
wherein the geospatial data comprises data files that include greater geospatial data for the region than for the geographic area located outside the region.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the geospatial data associated with the region is capable of being rendered at a higher resolution than geospatial data associated with the geographic area outside the region.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the geospatial data is obtained over a network from the remote device.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein reduced network connectivity is not of a sufficient bandwidth for the transfer of the geospatial data.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reduced network connectivity is no network connectivity.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the geospatial data for the region includes different asset types relative to geospatial data for the geographic area located outside the region.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the geospatial data for the region includes one or more asset types that are not included in geospatial data for the geographic area located outside the region.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the geospatial data is rendered as part of a geographic information system.
9. A computing system comprising one or more processors and one or more memory devices, the one or more processors configured to execute computer-readable instructions stored in the one or more memory devices that cause the one or more memory devices to perform operations, the operations comprising:
querying a database for one or more geographical coordinates associated with a region;
accessing geospatial data in response to the query, the geospatial data obtained from a remote device such that geospatial data associated with the region obtained from the remote device is associated with a higher resolution than geospatial data associated with a geographic area located outside the region, the geospatial data comprising vector data associated with the region;
rendering the geospatial data including the vector data at the local device with reduced network connectivity to the remote device;
wherein the geospatial data comprises data files that include greater geospatial data for the region than for the geographic area located outside the region.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the geospatial data associated with the region is capable of being rendered at a higher resolution than geospatial data associated with the geographic area outside the region.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the geospatial data is obtained over a network from the remote device.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein reduced network connectivity is not of a sufficient bandwidth for the transfer of the geospatial data.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the reduced network connectivity is no network connectivity.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the geospatial data for the region includes different asset types relative to geospatial data for the geographic area located outside the region.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the geospatial data for the region includes one or more asset types that are not included in geospatial data for the geographic area located outside the region.
16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the geospatial data is rendered as part of a geographic information system.
