"Cloud Map" has great wisdom

China's first three-dimensional simulation of the city "e-city Hangzhou" This year launched a new edition. February 9, the reporter opened the "E City Hangzhou" website, three-dimensional urban scene to the map application brought a fresh feeling. From the air overlooking the virtual city, buildings, highways, community at a glance. The air is also fluttering with ribbons and balloons to hold the discount information, as well as scattered around the buildings, horse roadside bus stop. The reporter will move the mouse to show the place of Hangzhou department store Light Point, the map pops up a message box, which includes the appearance of the Department of the picture, as well as address, the number of merchants, public transport inquiries, and so on, if you continue to click, you can also learn more detailed information.

Under the cloud service, the application of the map will be more and more extensive. With the increasing of the amount of electronic map data and the expanding of application scope, the traditional "Internet server +web2.0" service mode can not meet the demand, cloud computing technology under the Internet Map cloud services for the industry to bring vitality.

Hangzhou Aladdin Information Technology Co., Ltd. is the pioneer of the global three-dimensional city map. Responsible for the operation of the website manager Zhang Yi told reporters that in the future, more and more users will be able to enjoy the map cloud services brought about by the wide application. For example, businesses that stay in commercial buildings can share information about pictures, products, offers, and group deals in their own "map space" shops. This interconnected and large amount of data, if not supported by services in cloud mode, would be unthinkable.

The cloud makes the application of the map more convenient. According to industry experts, cloud applications for netizens generally is not aware of, as mentioned in the previous "E City" information query, each level of information, or the different information on each level, its data sources may be scattered across the country in different departments, is "cloud" to aggregate these data together, Solve the problem of large amount of map data.

The cloud has brought about a reduction in costs. Aladdin pre-sales Technical support manager Guo Li said, to Hangzhou, for example, 1 square kilometers of the map will be 10,000 yuan. If the 1 square kilometers of map information, such as banking, population, tax and other data to do all the same, all in line with national standards, the cost is more than 10,000 yuan. In terms of industry applications, map data to at least 1 urban areas, that is, at least dozens of square kilometers, to calculate, such a high cost of small and medium-sized enterprises can not afford.

"Cloud" lets the data build and share to realize. "Now, the data is full, the format is many, the enterprise is convenient to use." Guo Li said, it is because of cloud computing technology and map cloud services support, map data to achieve distributed operation can be possible.

As the information in the cloud is getting bigger and cheaper, digital city or three-dimensional map, "smart map" will rise from the cloud.
