10.10.3. Connection to NextGIS Web

You can learn more about main features of NextGIS Web in Key features of NextGIS Web.

If you want to keep your data on your own NextGIS Web server, tap “Add Web GIS” using either of the ways to create a new Web GIS (see above), follow the link at the bottom of the screen (see Pic. 10.91.) and use your account.

Pic. 10.92. NextGIS Web adding dialog

Note

Login and password fields for NextGIS Web adding should be fiiled up without spaces! Many gadgets add a space at the end of the text during autosubstitution or pasting the text from the clipboard, and NextGIS Web identifies this as another login or password and cancels the connection.

10.10.4. Editing of Web GIS account

To edit Web GIS account:

  1. Tap contextual menu icon (item 5 in Pic. 10.3.).

  2. Select “Settings” (Pic. 10.88.).

10.10.5. Deleting of Web GIS account

You can delete Web GIS account in several ways. The first way is the following:

  1. Tap contextual menu icon (item 5 in Pic. 10.3.).

  2. Select “Settings” (Pic. 10.88.).

  3. Select “Web GIS” (Pic. 10.89.).

  4. Select Web GIS account (Pic. 10.90.).

  5. In the opened window select “Delete account” (see Pic. 10.95.).

../../_images/remove_account1_eng.png

Pic. 10.95. Settings dialog

  1. Delete selected Web GIS account.

  2. In the case of successful deleting, the window with Web GIS selection will be opened without deleted Web GIS account.

The second way to delete Web GIS account is the following:

  1. Open OS settings of the gadget.

  2. Select “Accounts” in settings (see Pic. 10.96.).

../../_images/settings_in_os_eng.png

Pic. 10.96. Selecting accounts in OS settings

10.10.6. Adding of a layer (vector/raster) from Web GIS

To add a layer (vector/raste) from Web GIS:

  1. Open Layers tree panel (item 1 in Pic. 10.3.).

  2. Then tap on “Add geodata” button (item 4 in Pic. 10.4.).

  3. Select “Add from Web GIS” (Pic. 10.85.)

  4. In the opened dialog select Web GIS (Pic. 10.86.). You can learn more about creating of Web GIS account in ngmobile_сreate_a_connection.

../../_images/list_of_files_eng.png

Pic. 10.100. The list of Web GIS internal resources and layers

  1. Select a group of Web GIS resources and within it tick a layer (vector/raster) you want to add and tap “Add” (see Pic. 10.101.).

../../_images/file_selection_eng.png

Pic. 10.101. Selecting a layer within a Web GIS resources group

Note

If you need to select several layers in different groups of Web GIS account, the tick of the layer selection will keep while you switching over the groups.

  1. Layer’s processing dialog includes options “Cancel” and “Hide” (see Pic. 10.102.).

../../_images/processing_layer_eng.png

Pic. 10.102. Layers’s processing dialog

To stop Web GIS layer’s processing tap “Cancel” button. To avoid program’s interface blocking and to continue working with NextGIS Mobile tap “Hide” button. As a result Web GIS layers’s processing dialog will be transfered to status panel (see Pic. 10.103.).

../../_images/download_status_eng.png

Pic. 10.103. Status panel

Note

To stop the processing of Web GIS layer, which was transfered to status panel touch the screen on the layer’s processing panel with thumb and forfinger and move them in different directions sliding along the screen. The indicator of the Web GIS layer’s processing will be transfered to status panel and the “Stop” button will appear. Tap it to stop the processing of Web GIS layer.

After you execute all above mentioned selected Web GIS layers (vector/raste) will be added to a map and will be shown up in the layers tree.

10.10.7. Synchronization settings for Web GIS vector layer

Synchronization helps to interchange of geodata corrections quickly and to provide the identity of information interchanging between user’s PC and mobile gadget. To syncronize Web GIS vector layer:

  1. Tap contextual menu icon (item 5 in Pic. 10.3.).

  2. Select “Settings” (Pic. 10.88.).

  3. Select “Web GIS” (Pic. 10.89.).

  4. Select Web GIS account (Pic. 10.90.).

  5. A dialog with options will open (see Pic. 10.104.):

    • automatic synchronization;

    • synchronization interval (can be set to 5 minutes - 2 hours);

    • synchronization of the Web GIS layers.
