Shoothill Wins Acclaim for Innovative TimeMap Application
13th June 2009
Shropshire developer’s vision for the future allows history to come alive.
SHOOTHILL - the leading data visualisation company have made the finals of the Shropshire Star “Star Idea” awards for 2009 with their unique TimeMap tool.
The system has been developed and integrated by Shrewsbury-based Shoothill (the UK’s premier developers on the Virtual Earth platform), and is envisaged to revolutionise the way in which land analysis is performed by property developers, geological engineers and planners.
TimeMap is a unique innovation applying software to allow for simultaneous comparative analysis of differing maps, (or photos, schematics or layers of geocoded information), within a single, intuitive, interface. Using technology to facilitate this will realise great savings in the markets where paper comparisons are currently done, both financial and environmental. Two maps are often viewed together by environmental analysis firms, but this is done manually and is very time consuming and therefore expensive, (not to mention leads to much paper waste, transportation of physical documents, etc). Using TimeMap this type of analysis can be done much quicker, cheaper and with a degree of accuracy hitherto unknown. One example would be in boundary disputes where projected plans could be superimposed onto satellite imagery to highlight build errors and such.
As this unique way of presenting, handling and interacting with data lends itself naturally to those without exceptional analytical skills and could empower many disadvantaged sections of the community to keep informed of the underlying justifications for policy decisions, extending the reach of communications for organisations requiring a medium to convey complex data through an appealing and engaging interface.
