Return to Overview

The NaviGate user interface is delivered through Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browser. The user interacts with a series of window panels that contain maps, reports, and control panels to manage the map and reporting environment. The NaviGate user interface is designed to be easy to use for users with a variety of skill levels and requires minimal training and skill to operate.

A sample NaviGate screen is shown below. The components shown include:

• A control panel located in the upper left of the screen
  
• An area to display data and reports in the lower left part of the screen
  
• A large map area located to the right with navigation controls on a toolbar above

Maps

MapGuide, the map component of the NaviGate user interface, is provided by Autodesk and is an extremely well-performing tool in the Internet environment. It allows NaviGate to quickly and easily render maps on the user's PC and provides a rich interaction with the map. Using MapGuide, one can easily select objects (either singly or in combination), measure distances, re-size the display, zoom in, zoom out, print, and perform buffering and feature-in-feature selection operations. The MapGuide viewer installs as an ActiveX Control under Microsoft Internet Explorer.

User Preferences

Individual users can set up bookmarks for how they want to use the NaviGate application. Users can define a home bookmark "view" that they get when they first connect to the system with a new web browser session. Bookmarks include specific layers that are turned on and include the "location" that is visible on the map.

The NaviGate Application Framework is a suite of web-based products designed to promote information integration, increase self service, eliminate paper work, and improve field service for utilities.
