Interactive & editable digital maps
Copernicus is the Earth observation component of the European Union’s Space programme. We used Copernicus’s DEM (Digital Elevation Model) data at 30-metre intervals, processing and colourising the data points with our specialist GIS (Geospatial Information Systems) software to create the desert hillshading backdrop for this map of Death Valley National Park.
Map artwork files with a myriad of small labels and tiny details are typically hard to display legibly on websites, but Maproom has developed a Deep Zoom Viewer system that can smoothly handle even the very largest map files within a compact viewer window.
Our demo election map has had a lot of extra traffic recently, with political turmoil at Number 10. Andy Burnham’s seat and all other by-election changes since the last General Election are documented.
We offer a really simple way for clients to feed in their own polling data to a constituencies map in the Dynamic Mapping Suite, or you can commission us for multiple interactive layers like the demo here.
A month ago, the Maproom directors spotted that one of our demo maps was inexplicably showing hundreds of rays emanating from a point in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Ireland.
We found odd bugs on several other maps – maps that had worked perfectly for years in all major browsers were displaying peculiar artefacts at different zoom levels. The artefacts were observed only in Chrome, not Safari, Edge or Firefox.
Maproom’s base maps make a subtle appearance as set dressing in The Capture, the BBC drama that lives and breathes surveillance, AI, and the manipulation of reality. Set against a world where images can be fabricated and truth is constantly in question, the inclusion of maps in scenes with banks of surveillance screens adds an essential layer of authenticity – ironically grounding a story built on deception.
