National Symposium on Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics in Infrastructure Development and Management

            With the focus of the nation shifting towards infrastructure development, through national programs like JNRUM, IRDP, and the participation of private players in infrastructure development, it is projected that annual investments to the tune of Rs. 1,000 Billion will be made in the country across the next 5-7 years. The efficacy of Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing in Infrastructure planning, development and management is well recognized and promoted by the Department of Space and other governmental agencies. In this context, the National Symposium and ISRS Annual Convention is organized on the topic "GIS AND REMOTE SENSING IN INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT" from the 29th of November, 2010 to 4th December, 2010.

           The Symposium will expose the frontline developments in remote sensing and Geoinformatics to the infrastructural developers, enabling the latter to appreciate the cost-saving and accuracy enabled by the technology. It is expected that the Symposium will provide a forum for a direct interaction between the space scientists and Geoinformatics technologists on one side and infrastructure managers and administrators on the other.

Simple Map using Google Maps API v3

       Let us begin with our first example using Google Maps API v3. Even before a marker - the most basic element of a map, appears, the map should be seen on the screen. Let us have a look at the following javascript code first. We will then have a look at the elements in the code.             Ta-da a map in action! This map is centred at the Sansad Bhavan, New Delhi, India. In the above code the head of the document contains a critical script element. Its src attribute points to the location of the API on Google's server. In API v3 there is no need to obtain a key for the API. The remaining is simple Javascript.           Happy mapping!!!
