VERSION 5.0 of GEOSMART.NET AVAILABLE NOW


SANTA ROSA, California - December 12th, 2005

MoosePoint Technology is pleased to announce the release of GeoSmart.net version 5.0. We at MoosePoint Technology are extremely excited about this new release. With over 100 enhancements, version 5.0 is our biggest release yet. Most of the new features came out of requests from you, the folks that are building innovative applications using GeoSmart.net. "I am constantly amazed at the creative solutions developed by our user community using GeoSmart.net." says MoosePoint Technology President Tim McGee.

Many New Enhancements

The enhancements encompass 15 areas of GIS web development:
  • GeoSmart.net Management Portal (9 new features)
  • Identify Functions (10 new features)
  • Buffering Functions (13 new features)
  • Query Functions (21 new features)
  • Zooming & Panning Functions (9 new features)
  • Selection & Filter Functions (3 new features)
  • MapTips (6 new features)
  • Map Labels and Graphics (4 new features)
  • Printing (8 new features)
  • Layers (4 new features)
  • Export (2 new features)
  • User-Shapes (2 new features)
  • ArcIMS Servers (15 new features)
  • Additional Functions (8 new features)
  • Developer Tools (14 new tools and functions)
GeoSmart.net customers can refer to the "GeoSmart.net 5.0 Enhanced Features" document for a list of all the improvements.

New Developer Tools

"Providing our users with a powerful 'out-of-the-box' development environment is much of what has made GeoSmart.net popular. While there are many, many features directed towards the GeoSmart.net Administrator and the end-users, it is the new enhancements for advanced developers that I am most excited about." says Tim McGee. A whole new suite of .Net components has been added to compliment the easy-to-use GeoSmart.net Management Portal. These components are very robust and allow you to build more sophisticated functionality into your GeoSmart.net applications. These components have been used internally at MoosePoint Technology to develop custom applications with GeoSmart.net. If you are familiar with the Visual Studio development environment, you'll be productive immediately with the new SDK. Most important, these developer tools are available free of charge as part of your GeoSmart.net software maintenance.

Supporting More Environments

With support for all the latest releases of software like ArcIMS and ArcSDE 9.1 (including the newly available Service Pack 1), SQL Server 2005, Oracle 10G, Visual Studio 2005, and Safari browsers on the Mac, the environments where GeoSmart.net is implemented are becoming more diverse. According to Louie Rowley, Support and Installation Analyst, MoosePoint has "taken great strides to ensure that your existing applications will work immediately after the upgrade without any modifications. This includes commercial applications built with GeoSmart.net like CrimeView Web / CrimeView Community as well as custom developed solutions created by MoosePoint or your own developers."

Additional Support Options

Coinciding with the release of version 5.0, MoosePoint has expanded their support resources to better assist its customers.

  • New members added to the support team. You'll see some new names on the e-mail messages and forums.

  • Improved support ticket tracking system.

  • Also unveiled is a newly revised forums website. Look for additions to our knowledgebase, frequently asked questions, peer-to-peer support between users and support for the developer components. Please visit http://forums.geosmart.net to request a username/password.

A Huge Step Forward

Version 5.0 is a quantum leap forward for GeoSmart.net not only in the features included in this release but perhaps more importantly as providing a platform to quickly add great new features in future releases. While Version 5.0 is chock full of enhancements, there are still some requested features that did not make it into this release. Look for announcements in the months ahead regarding upcoming versions with many new enhancements.
