Co je od letošního roku na iKatastr.cz nového:
– OpenLayers knihovna dělala problémy ve verzi 2.9 (dlaždice se uplně rozjížděly a neseděly v IE), OL byla povýšena na 2.12, protože ve verzi 2.13 je scrollování myší (zoom in/out) špatné.
– iKatastr přešel z původního OLON formátu použivaném v MapShake na jednodušší konfiguraci, více propojenou s OL.
– tyto dvě výše uvedené modifikace byly důvodem toho, že jsem povypínal iKatastr v souřadném systému JTSK a UTM – původní formát OLON tohle umožňoval, ale na druhou stranu to přineslo zbytečnou komplexnost kódu a nevím jestli to někdo vůbec používal (asi ne, nikdo neprotestoval) . Pokud by se měly tyto souřadné systémy do iKatastru vrátit, bude to dělané formou separátní stranky, tak jako “Ptačí pohled”
– “Ptačí pohled” je k dispozici při velkém zoom – objeví se odkaz , po jehož kliknutí se načte nová stránka s krásnými šikmými snímky od Seznamu (Mapy.cz) . Ne všechny mapové podklady umí hlubší zoom, takže např. u Bing map (Microsoft) se tohle tlačítko neobjeví.
Update 30.7.2014 Ukončeno na žádost Seznam.cz. Puvodni funkce zachycena na tomto videu.
– Bing podklady byly přidány jako náhražka Google street – jsou rychlé a nemusí se používat Google ‘wrapper’ – Bing dlaždice lze přímo legálně konzumovat. Nicméně skvělé satelitní snímky od Googlu jsou k dispozici také.
-Udělal jsem zjednodušení legendy – uživatel nemusí překlikávat do inverzního katastru, pokud má letecké snímky – automaticky se to přehodí.
– ČÚZK spustil GetFeature info službu – takže pokud se trefíte klikem na definiční bod budovy nebo parcely objeví se základní informace.
– Experimentálně byl přidán odkaz na strážce katastru vpravo nahoře – služba umožňuje hlídání změn v katastru nemovitostí.
– IE 8,9 to je samostatná kapitola, ale vše by mělo fungovat i na těchto už exotických verzích.
Nakonec za 6 měsíců ikatastr.cz hostil : 372.000 návštěv od 174,233 uživatelů, kteří shlédli celkem 488,397 stránek, strávili tam sumárně víc než 1 rok (388 dnů) a naklikali tolik dotazů, že se to nevleze na stránku
Děkuji věrným uživatelům aplikace iKatastr.cz, kteří mi dali důvod udělat upgrade aplikace !
Following graphs shows more than 2 years overview of project iKatastr on various platforms – web site, iOS, Android. Project iKatastr does simple stuff – shows cadastral map and enables user to tap on map and get information from the parcel registry (e.g. owner) in Czech Republic. Except Android version, all started at the same time 2 years ago for web, iPhone and iPad. All of the users of iKatastr are solely Czech consumers and thus reflect situation in the Czech app stores and web.
first graph shows how monthly sessions have evolved. Original thought that mobile launch of app iKatastr would boost web site visit failed. However after 15 months of runing iKatastr.cz web site and rephrasing some keywords for SEO it started dramatically to gain visits. Decline of iOS version in last 4 months is caused most likely by new project iKatastr2 that replaces the original one on iOS. iKatastr2 statistics is not yet revealed here.
second graph shows distribution of sessions among all platforms of iKatastr. 75% of all iKatastr sessions comes from mobile devices, while only 25% comes from web.
iKatastr apps including Web, iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Android has reached all together 1 million sessions over the period of 19 months. This was exactly on April 28th.
Here are 2 graphs, note, that Android version has started 7 months later thus reflects only period of 12 months
This is a great unexpected surprise as judging panel of the Mobile Application of the 2011 year in Czech selected iKatastr.

iKatastr – judge’s award in the Mobile Application of the 2011 challenge
This is somehow very encouraging
#1 iKatastr is still on top in the category Navigation in Czech app store after 4 months ! on iPhone it keeps 2nd place right after Mapy CZ provided by largest internet search in CZ Seznam. On iPad, however, iKatastr is still 1st in category Navigation.
#2 Users of iKatastr has reported quite lot positive feedbacks, see here : http://appcomments.com/app/id396352287/iKatastr_reviews?country=143489&show=show_all_comments&sort=sort_recent&sortorder=sort_ascend&page=1
#3 IKatastr has been mentioned in Czech magazine “Mobility” 1/2011, on page 85.
Quoted from the magazine press:
“There are just few high quality applications in the Czech App Store. Even fewer of them are for free.
iKatastr developed at Mendel University in Brno belongs to this narrow group with functionality that is also unique in the international comparison. “
Update #1 13/03/2013, here is new blog about Tiled WMS overlay for Windows Phone 8 :https://blog.sumbera.com/2013/03/10/tiled-wms-overlay-in-windows-phone-8/
I have quickly tested my new Windows Phone 7 (Samsung Omnia) device with the Czech cadastral map WMS overlay over the BingMaps and DeepEarth (also see this blog here: https://blog.sumbera.com/2010/11/10/wms-overlay-on-bing-maps-vs-deepearth-on-wp7/) . if you are familiar with www.ikatastr.cz and iPhone version of it (iKatastr) than this example is using same data sources.
In short : it was a great experience – WP7 was smoothly registered, automaticaly connected to internet even without a SIM card using USB cable and Visual Studio 2010 integration just works perfect (so far:) In comparison to many difficulties and ‘certification hell’ on iPhone this is a great relief. Now giving the fact that Nokia is going to support and develop Windows Phone 7, great user experience with WP7 and (for me and menay others) great development experience, this might change the mobile landscape significantly over the 1 or 2 years.
I will guess here that WP7 platform will exceed number of iPhone applications in less than 2 years.
Update #2 Reviewing this after 2 years (March / 2013), – something went wrong with this estimation, but do you remember Gartner predictions from that time ? for example here : http://www.globalnerdy.com/2012/05/07/the-windows-phone-predictions-that-idc-gartner-and-pyramid-research-probably-hope-youve-forgotten/
but we are not yet in 2015, so we will see.
Update #3 02/2016 : this estimation was completely wrong , Windows Phone platform is nowhere, looks like great lesson learned – even you own great language and framework (C# and .NET) there is nothing that guarantees you being successful on emerging/disruptive platform/form factor. Objective-C (then Swift) or Java on Android got this mobile cake.
