Share Your World with ((Echo))MyPlace and CarbonCloud

2006-11-15T16:02:00Z

In today’s fast-paced world, location-based information is an essential tool for connecting people and places. Anyone, anywhere can take advantage of this new technology - real estate and travel agencies, communications service providers, surveying companies, restaurant owners, nightclubs, event promoters, small and large retail businesses, neighborhood groups and individuals can all find new opportunities to locate and share location-based information.

Pioneer a New Age in Geospatial Interoperability

2006-11-15T15:58:00Z

One of the main challenges facing government, security and infrastructure organizations today is the lack of ability to share information. These barriers are partly due to legal and political limitations. However, another major contributor is an inadequate technological foundation. Specifically, digital content often cannot be shared easily and efficiently between systems.

Powerful .NET Development Tools for Location Content

2006-11-15T15:53:00Z

CarbonTools™ is a powerful and extensible new software development toolkit that enhances the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to support advanced location content handling and sharing.

Based on Source-Handler-Data™ technology, CarbonTools provides a unified API for geospatial interoperability with an array of location content and services. This means Google Earth, Yahoo Maps, OGC web mapping, GML, ESRI Shapefiles and more can be used in your open-geospatial .NET applications…seamlessly!

CarbonTools PRO Beta 2 (Release Candidate 1) Released

2006-11-14T19:33:00Z

Today The Carbon Project released beta 2 of CarbonTools PRO™. With support to Virtual Earth, Yahoo! Maps, Google and more. This package looks fantastic and we are very proud of it. CarbonTools PRO is the only tool in the world that actually provides .NET developers with a unified API to handle true geospatial interoperability. Adding maps and geospatial content to an application is made easy with this product.

We are not only supporting traditional GIS forms and formats (OGC, GML, WMS, WFS, WCS, Shape Files, MIF, DXF etc.) but we now combine those with consumer-oriented content. From file formats such as Google's KML and KMZ to tile-based mapping from Microsoft Virtual Earth and Yahoo! Maps, it is now very easy to mix and match a vast amount of location-based content from a lot of formats and service types in a single framework-level control. CarbonTools PRO is highly extendible as well, making it easy for developers to add their own formats and services into the mix.

I must mention the .NET framework essence of CarbonTools because that is how the solution is designed. Not as a cool looking mapping controls (which it has and does better than anyone), but as a tool that extends .NET. In other words, you can write with CarbonTools PRO software that handles location-based content without having any user-interface at all. Imagine for example a data archiving software, search software or an AI that can look for, find and analyze location based content.

Within a month or so we will fully release CarbonTools PRO and we are already busy with new technologies and applications that blow people's mind. For example, ((Echo))MyPlace will soon be released as the first ever geosocial networking™ application that uses an IPv6 based, server-less, survivable peer-to-peer networking...
