| | 38 | * [http://depiction.com Depiction] |
| | 39 | * Data primarily only shareable with other Depiction users which means hard to gain traction even within an organisation let alone for interagency work. |
| | 40 | * Installation requires admin rights on the PC, which many field staff won't easily have access to - again lowering the ability to get wider adoption. |
| | 41 | * Can't create new Depictions or use BaseMaps at all without an active Internet connection. |
| | 42 | * Revealers seem very gimmicky: I don't find them useful & they're really hard to use in practise (I just wanted a 'full-screen option'). |
| | 43 | * GeoExplorer already has the ability to dynamically edit layer opacity, which is the 1 thing I'd use them for. |
| | 44 | * Licensing costs push this beyond local partners to whom we want to handover the tools when moving from Response -> Recovery -> Mitigation/Preparedness (USD 200/machine + add-ons, such as $50 just for icons that come free with Sahana!) |
| | 45 | * No support for KML (or GeoRSS) |
| | 46 | * No ability to edit the OpenStreetMap base layer which adds so much value to these maps |
| | 47 | * Adding Elevation data is clumsy (fairly easy to make this 'seamless' ;) ) |
