The article presents selected software development tools and technologies that enable the presentation of statistical data on digital maps in the browser. The aim of the study was to describe them, and to conduct their comparative evaluation. In our studies, we have used ad-hoc tests, performed on the basis of usability and functionality, using the technique of self-evaluation. Based on the criteria of global popularity and availability, the following were subjected to ad-hoc tests: Google Visualization — Geomap and Geo Chart, as well as selected solutions developed on the basis of the jQuery JavaScript.
In conclusion, it has been demonstrated that the tested design and development technologies are complementary, while the selection of tools to carry out the design principles assumed remains at the discretion of the user... [more]

For more than a decade now, in the EU countries in particular, we observe significant advances in the development of regional geoportals, created by various public administration units. This has resulted, above all, from: legal regulations, an increased demand for geospatial information, and the development of mobile and geo-information technologies.
At present, there are several hundred official mapping services on the Internet, making available databases of geospatial information of varying character. One of these is the map portal called Geoportal 2. One of the distinguishing features of the service is the fact that it provides access to geospatial data with the administrative data status, including land registry data. Despite regulatory limitations related to data processing, the Geoportal 2 is one of the most popular and most frequently chosen specialist map services in Poland. The goal of the paper is to present the Geoportal 2, describe its characteristics, and evaluate selected functionalities available within the mapping service... [more]

In the last decade, far-reaching changes in the way of using the Internet, which as a result of range, multimedia and interactivity plays bigger and bigger role in interpersonal communication, could be observed. These changes are accompanied by development of geo-information services which are usually associated with geo-visualization understood as presentation of geographic information on the maps. Attainability of computer techniques which enable creating of network applications activated users who often and often build their own topic services which connect chosen contents with a map base.
The aim of the paper is to analyse chosen data sources as well as techniques and computer tools which can be used to create topic maps according to the conception "user-creator" (produser), "user-producer" (produsage). The project of a topic map presenting chosen touristic object and also nature protection forms localized in the area of Grybów commune (Małopolska, nowosądecki district) was presented in the article. In conclusion, it was revealed that the created map is elastic in edition and development and its every element is possible to be modified. However, it has got some limitations. Its modification needs expert knowledge and access to a server and published data can be questionable for users... [more]

Over the course of several years, web cartography which changed the way of presentation and exchange of information gained new sense. Techniques development and availability of geoinformation tools in connection with net data transfer new quality enabled to create maps accessible in real time according to user’s preference.
The aim of the paper is to characterize and evaluate technique of parameterization for net resource URL address (Uniform Resource Locator). Examples of maps presented in a browser’s window according to set parameters defined in accordance with rules in force in the range of API programistic interfaces of chosen map services were presented in the paper. Maps developed by URL link parameterization technique were put to functional tests. Moreover, efficiency and utility tests were performed.
Performed tests show that creating maps with help of discussed technique needs knowledge and expert abilities which may cause difficulties to less advanced users and its use allows to evoke maps in the browser’s window but in the limited range... [more]

New means and forms of media develop dynamically in the contemporary world. Field researches results do not have to be popularized only in text or tabular static elaborations forms. Widely available computer techniques and tools can be used to their presentation equally well. They enable creating internet applications which make interaction with a user possible through various components.
The aim of the paper is to present topic internet conception of a map which shows mountain river’s hydromorphological diversity on the example of Wieprzówka stream. Project assumes spatial relation of objects observed in the field by means of geographic coordinates plotted on the interactive globe’s map. Its informative and multimedia character was presumed in the map’s project.
Field tests the results of which were presented on the map were performed within the frames of initiative to create given watercourses base proposed by the international ecological organization called in short WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) and Poznań University of Life Sciences... [more]

Spatial data services play an increasing role in the exchange of information. The universal use of databases and digital cartographic resources has become possible thanks to the accessibility of computer tools and techniques, which until recently were reserved for small group of professional users.
The goal of the study is a characteristic and comparative analysis of some tools of automatizing the creation process of personalized, interactive digital maps. The chosen web applications offered by some web mapping services have been tested
The analysis showed that the tested tools are relatively easy to use and do not require a specialist knowledge about geoinformatics. However their limited functionality means that only simple maps with numerous limitations can be created... [more]

The availability, functionality and usability of interactive maps and digital representations of environment in Internet are on the rise. Their popularity results mainly form the technological progress and development of programming tools available as open source, and from the growing demands of users who are looking for specialist geoinformation services in Internet. The goal of this study is to analyse the possibilities of using chosen programming techniques and tools such as jQuery JavaScript components to creating interactive maps. JQuery was chosen because it is one of the most popular technology of making web applications.
The analysis was possible thanks to tests of three web applications created on the basis of chosen scripts, available under open source licence. The research showed that jQuery library can be used to creating web map applications but in a limited scope... [more]
