We did it! We have a new edition of Usemaps! <\/p>\n

And it contains some interesting new features:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. AAutomatic vectorization of classification contours has been \u201clinked\u201d to a kilometer grid. This makes it possible to vectorize large, continuous areas. We have also improved the quality of vectorization (on average, 98% of recognitions are correct).<\/g> <\/li>\n
  2. The \u2018Download vector data\u2019 <\/a>tool is still in beta, but it already works perfectly. Downloading (for now) buildings, wooded areas and water bodies from BDOT10k for a selected area takes only a few seconds. <\/li>\n
  3. And finally, my favourite \u2013 a tool that is not spectacular, but useful: attribute statistics<\/a>. These allow you to quickly familiarise yourself with basic information about a data set. <\/li>\n
  4. … plus, as usual, dozens of bug fixes and improvements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Usemaps<\/p>\n

    has already exceeded critical mass. We no longer control its development, but merely supervise the creation of functionalities requested by users. <\/p>\n

    Especially in the #RES sector, Usemaps is no longer just a tool that makes work easier \u2014 it is a tool that provides a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n
