The second ResponseMX User Forum is due to take place next Tuesday (2007-01-30) at our Offices. The number of delegates is up on last year reflecting the number of people who have been adopting ResponseMX. The aim is to focus on what ResponseMX is being used to develop, taking a slightly less technical approach to last years event which was more focused on how you develop with ResponseMX.
Today the OS Map Viewer application developed for the Legal Deposit Libraries went live. The hosted application allows members of the public to view national cover of Ordnance Survey large-scale digital map data for the last eight years (Land-Line 1998-2005, OS MasterMap 2006). Access to the OS Map Viewer is available from within a reading room of one of the six legal deposit libraries throughout the UK and Ireland.
A number of new features have gone into the application including the ability to display two synchronized maps side by side and an AJAX print preview which allows the user to print to scale and adjust the map view by panning while in the print preview. A number of these features are scheduled for the next release of ResponseMX (2.6 due in Feb.).
See the case studies section for more details and some screen shots.
We have been working with Reading Room to develop the map content for the Youth Hostel Association’s new website which is now live on the web. The site features both static image maps which are updated periodically and navigable maps both of which are developed with ResponseMX and use Ordnance Survey map data. To get to the mapping click the Find Accommodation link and choose a region to see the image maps. To view the dynamic maps navigate to either the Local Info or Travel Info pages of a specific hostel.
