Introduction to Geo+

Geo+ is designed to assist geospatial specialists in visualizing and interpreting geospatial data effectively. Its primary functions include generating maps, geocoding locations, displaying various map styles, and providing high-resolution satellite imagery. By integrating the AGEO MAP API, Geo+ offers a powerful toolset for analyzing geographical information and supporting decision-making processes. For instance, urban planners can use Geo+ to visualize population density in different areas, while environmental scientists might employ it to monitor changes in vegetation over time.

Main Functions of Geo+

  • Map Generation

    Example Example

    Creating a map centered on a specific location with various zoom levels and styles.

    Example Scenario

    A city planner needs a detailed map of a downtown area with markers indicating new construction sites. Using Geo+, they generate a high-resolution map in 'hybrid' style to present in a planning meeting.

  • Geocoding

    Example Example

    Converting addresses into geographic coordinates and plotting them on a map.

    Example Scenario

    A logistics company wants to optimize delivery routes. They input a list of customer addresses into Geo+, which geocodes the locations and visualizes them on a map, allowing the company to plan efficient routes.

  • Satellite Imagery

    Example Example

    Displaying high-resolution satellite images of specific areas.

    Example Scenario

    An environmental researcher is studying deforestation in the Amazon. Using Geo+, they access recent satellite imagery to analyze areas where forest cover has diminished.
