We’re thrilled to introduce GeoGrid 1.6, the latest version of our GIS platform designed to help you build apps tailored to your business needs. This update integrates the powerful Google Maps Platform with GeoGrid’s advanced GIS features, offering expanded possibilities for data analysis and visualization. Discover how GeoGrid 1.6 empowers you to work faster, smarter, and with deeper insights.
Google Maps and Services
GeoGrid 1.6 now integrates seamlessly with the Google Maps Platform, the world’s most popular mapping solution.
Whether you’re analyzing a construction project site or assessing the location of a telecom investment, this integration provides unparalleled insights into surrounding infrastructure. Choose from three map backgrounds to suit your needs:
- Default: The classic map view, ideal for everyday analyses.
- Terrain: Understand landforms better—perfect for construction projects.
- Satellite: Gain a broader context for spatial analyses.
With these options, Google Maps is now GeoGrid’s recommended default for optimal data visualization.
Additionally, you can leverage Google’s powerful interfaces and services directly within GeoGrid:
- Places: Quickly search for locations and addresses.
- Geocoding: Convert addresses into precise geographic coordinates—especially useful when importing objects with addresses but no coordinates.
- Elevation: Retrieve terrain elevation data, invaluable for planning construction projects.
- Directions: Calculate the best routes between multiple points to streamline logistics.
- Street View: View any selected object’s location at street level without leaving GeoGrid. This feature saves time on field visits and aids in planning your next steps efficiently.

Further Integration with FME Platform
Need to process project data quickly and efficiently? GeoGrid 1.6 now allows you to run FME data integration platform scripts directly from the object properties panel. With FME, you can generate a wide variety of reports, such as detailed analyses of specific network elements or calculations of network fragment lengths for fee estimations.
This streamlined access to scripts and reports enhances productivity, saving time and accelerating your workflow.
FME supports over 450 data formats, enabling you to import and export virtually any data to and from GeoGrid. Additionally, FME offers advanced data analysis capabilities. For instance, you can:
- Analyze which land plots your energy network crosses.
- Identify areas with the highest profitability potential for expanding your telecom network.
Enhanced Visualization: Thematic Maps and Graphs
Looking to present data like energy usage in specific buildings? GeoGrid 1.6 makes it easy to create clear, insightful visualizations for decision-makers. You can now prepare thematic maps that highlight specific data attributes. For example, display energy usage in buildings by selecting appropriate layers, attributes, colors, and ranges.

Additionally, you can choose between two types of graphs to better understand your data:
- Time Graphs: Track how an attribute changes over time, such as temperature readings from a heat node.
- Route Graphs: Visualize spatial variability, such as cable heights or pressure levels along a pipeline.
These data visualizations enhance understanding and accelerate decision-making.

Automated Real-Time Updates
Imagine your network expansion project’s status updating automatically in the system. For example, a telecom network project’s status will change to “ready” once all included buildings are connected and operational.
This GeoGrid feature keeps your project statuses up to date, saving you time and effort.
Stay on top of your telecom investments with real-time updates on a map.

Strengthened Data Access Management
Does your team include members with diverse roles? Collaboration just got simpler and more secure. GeoGrid 1.6 allows you to define custom user permissions, ensuring everyone has appropriate access. For example, one user group may have permission to edit all building data, while another can only access residential building information.
This way, you can keep your organizational data secure while enabling efficient collaboration.
