Dear sir,

Do anyone let me know about the scale ( cccury)of ThinkGeo world data?

Sorry for my English!

Tks.

The world data or any data can be at any scale depending to the zoom level. We have a property of the Map CurrentScale where you can get and set the scale if you want your map to be at a particular scale. For example, if you want you r map to be at the scale 1:25,000:

Map1.CurrentScale = 25000

The map will zoom in or zomm out to be at that scale.

Note that the scale is calculated based on the number of pixel per inch, by default it is 96, but you can change the property PixelPerInch of Map if your device is different.

 

Hi,

I want to know about the accurate of the world data?

Tks.

You can see for yourself the details of the world data by using the online RenderWorld app. http://samples.thinkgeo.com/RenderWorldWebformsSampleApps/RenderWorldVBSample.aspx

Keep in mind that you have the flexibility to add your own data. So if you need street lavel detail for a particular region, you can add your own data while having the generalized data for the rest of the world. You can even combine RenderUSA and RenderWorld in one map.

Dear sir,

Actually I need a map with scale 1:200.000. ThinkGeo' world data is not accurate enough.

I will try to make my customer change his mind.

And I have a problem that the budget for GIS data of the project is small and I don't need whole world data. I need South East Asia Data.

So could I buy only SE Asia Data with a reasonable price?

Tks.

Hai,

Thank you for the post, unfortunately we don't have a subset of Render World targeting SE Asia.  However if cost is a big concern you can purchase the raw World Data for $599.00 (http://thinkgeo.com/Default.aspx?mid=334&tabid=24&ctl=catalogitemdetails&catalogitemid=17&mastercategoryid=2) and build your own rendering code for the South East Asia area. 

This will take more development time on your side since you won't have the rendering code and you will have to develop this yourself, but it is a cheaper option if development time is affordable.
