Spatial and Oracle Locator

Spatial • .Oracle Spatial is an Oracle Enterprise Edition option providing advanced spatial

features to support high-end GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and LBS (Location Based Services) solutions. (Licence Required)

• 400+ Spatial functions such as centroids and aggregate functions (e.g. unions and user defined aggregates) • 3-dimensional data type support for terrain and city models and virtual worlds, support for (Light Detection and Ranging) LIDAR-based map production. Locator • Provides core features and services available in Oracle Spatial eg (Functions for joining

and filtering spatial data) • Free with Oracle Databases (Standard & Enterprise)

Organization of Spatial Layers



Creating a Map: Link Maps to Dataset Columns

• Administration task, a one-off at system configuration stage! • Import maps from Oracle MapViewer and associate themes keys with subject area

columns • Columns then need to be included in the request criteria when map created • Note - basic (state/county/global) data available on OTN, more detailed

data needs to be licensed from NAVTEC



• Graphs and other visualizations can be added for individual layers in the view • Pie charts, bar charts, variable size bubbles, icon selection…etc • Shade polygons based on measure binning/value ranges



Zoom Levels



• Embed map in dashboard, use as any other view • Link to dashboard prompts, Master-Detail links….
