New Map Series production tool

Our new MapShop module automates

the generation and printing of multiple

map sheets covering a region.

Simply select a layout template and a

map series (comprising polygons

outlining each required map

boundary), and MapShop will do the

rest, automatically batch creating and

printing professional maps for each

polygon boundary.

Integration of Geophysical,

Geochemical and GIS data

for further analysis


Graphical Analysis (GraphMap)


• Create movies iterating through multiple tables; for instance,

assessing prospect-scale dewatering by sequentially viewing

multiple time-specific water table surfaces

Animate Map Windows as Movies


• Create movies iterating through values in a specified field. This

is a powerful way of investigating temporal (time) relationships,

for instance by using year and month values in a date field to

observe exploration lease acquisition patterns over a date

range.

Discover - Surfaces Module


Build massive topographic grids from LIDAR data within the MapInfo

Professional environment

• Import LIDAR LAS data as attributed point objects using the new LIDAR

LAS importer - for viewing in both 2D and Discover 3D

• Convert ASCII and binary LAS data into gridded surfaces using the new

Large and Multi-file Gridding tool

• Manipulate and analyze gridded LIDAR data with the Grid Utilities

enhanced support for massive (1GB+) grids, including functionality such as

calculating the Volume between grids, a grid’s Surface Area and

roughness, or it’s Slope angles and direction.

Discover enables the visualization of LIDAR data with existing vector, raster

and grid data sets, as well as it’s analysis

LIDAR Support


Large and Multi-file Gridding tool

Discover can build massive grids with methods such as inverse distance

weighting, triangulation and minimum curvature, using any of the following

data sources

• Multiple input files

• Massive LIDAR ASCII and LAS files

• Massive MapInfo point TAB files

Large Grid Support


Collected in West Virginia in

2004 for floodplain mapping

LIDAR LAS Gridding example

• Input: 2,178 individual

ASPRS LAS files

(16Gb on disk)

• Output Grids:

Elevation and Intensity

• Total input points:

883,066,457 (all files)

• Output Grid size: 55003 x

61003 cells at 1m x 1m

(i.e. approx 55km by 61km)

• Gridding time: 4.7hrs

Large Grid Support


Hydrology Tool

• Automatically extract

drainage networks and

associated catchments

from a gridded DEM

surface

• Common requirement in

many disciplines

including environmental

monitoring, hydrology

and engineering

Catchment and drainage analysis


A number of DEM processing

options are available, generating

grids for:

These can then be vectorized to

create:

• Stream junction points

• Stream polylines (hierarchically

ordered)

• Watershed/catchment polygons

Analytical processes

• Pit filling (preprocessing)

• Flow direction and slope

• Flow accumulation & threshold

v3.8.1 Overview

the companion to pbEncom Discover, now

makes it easier to capture GIS data in the

field.

you can take your digital maps and images

wherever you go.

is GPS enabled

Can be used for in-field data capture,

sample logging, mapping and navigation.


Ideal solution for mobile field data capture

• Structural mapping

• Geochemical sampling

• Outcrop/geological mapping

Auto-population of data fields, such as

incrementing sample numbers & auto-fill of

date/type fields

Object style library for intuitive map display

(e.g. soil versus rock-chip samples)

User-customizable picklists (e.g. lithology,

colour) simplify repetitive data capture and

remove data entry errors

Extensive library of structural types, with

prompts for appropriate parameters

Australian, USA and Canadian structural

symbol libraries

Discover Mobile


Connectivity with a range of GPS devices

• NMEA GPS support (e.g. onboard or Bluetooth connected GPS)

• High-precision Differential GPS (DGPS) using Trimble’s range of hardware

(e.g. RTK, Beacon or Post-Processing)
