Description: Commercial entities, government agencies and individuals can now extend and expand Gaia® with new functionalities and capabilities. Some of the API functions do not require a CarbonTools PRO developer license, others do (these will be clearly marked in this document).

The Gaia Extenders system is using the .NET reflection mechanism to define a contract between the main Gaia application and any assembly (DLL) present at the Extenders designated directory. This is a non intrusive process that does not require component registration of any kind.

Extenders can perform a variety of functions within Gaia. They can define new data types, add new tools, and even alter Gaia’s look and feel by changing the user interface.

Description: Gaia® is a platform designed for advanced geospatial needs. Based on the CarbonTools PRO open-geospatial development toolkit (www.CarbonTools.com), this viewer can access an array of geospatial sources such as the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Mapping Service (WMS), Web Map Tile Service (WMTS), Web Coverage Service (WCS), and Web Feature Service (WFS), commercial services such as Microsoft Bing Maps, and Yahoo! Maps, not for profit services from OpenStreetMap (OSM), as well as file formats such as ESRI Shapefiles, Google Earth KML/KMZ, DXF, MIF and Geography Markup Language (GML).

This package is compiled to comply with the Mono Project multi-platform framework, allowing Gaia to be used on any Linux or Mac OS.

To use this package:
1. Make sure the latest Mono 2.4 is installed.
2. Unzip the archive
3. Run it: mono Gaia.exe

Known issues:

Cannot read Windows saved GSF (Mono mismatch in system assemblies. Can load Mono originated GSF from any platform though)

Tiles use an older projection system that has some accuracy issues (Mono bug in Bitmaps)

Some UI issues with lists, tables and pull-downs.

The issues listed are expected to be fixed in coming versions of Mono.

With Gaia you can use geospatial content from different sources and overlay them into a single map view, with each layer individually configured and styled. The Gaia multi-layer view allows seamless use of multiple layers of different types. Panning, zooming and other mapping tools provide a fast and convenient tool for browsing the map. Gaia uses dynamic caching of content to memory, providing enhanced mapping performance.

Key Features

• Maps from Bing Maps (Microsoft Virtual Earth)
  
• Maps from Yahoo! Maps
  
• Maps from the OpenStreetMap (OMS) Tiles@Home servers
  
• OGC WFS, WFS-T, WFS-G, WMS, WMTS, WCS

Description: This extender allows Gaia to switch the point symbology for features and note pushpin with the Emergency Management Symbology set developed by the FGDC Homeland Security Working Group.
To use the Emergency Management symbols with this extender download and install the font set freely available at:
http://www.fgdc.gov/HSWG/ref_pages/DownloadSymbols_ref.htm

for more information on how to install the font set see instructions at the CarbonCloud blog

To use this Extender save the DLL and use Gaia’s “Import” button in the Extenders Manager tool.

Once deployed Gaia will use the Emergency Management fonts (with additional preset pushpins) for all point symbols selection. An EM Symbology menu item will be added. From this menu item you may switch on or off the symbology and revert to Gaia's internal symbols.
