What is ToolMap?

ToolMap is a cost-free, open-source software dedicated for digitizing data and producing complex multi-layer GIS projects.

It was developped in response to the need of easily creating projects with:
  • A faultless and accurate topological structure
  • A correct and homogenized semantic….
It was developped in response to the two most reccurent problems given by such maps:
  • The topological structure
  • The semantical meaning

How does it work?

ToolMap rely on two different but undissociable aspects:

  • The vectorization process
  • The data model

The method ToolMap uses for the digitizing process deny the redundancy of geometries. The one referring to multiple layers are digitized only once and distributed through the different layers with the help of the data model.

In addition to the method ToolMap provides strong tools for the vectorization as well as for the validation process.
