Welcome

GeoLab is a Colorado-based GeoSpatial consulting and software development firm.  We serve clients across the globe in GeoSpatial software design, development, and deployment.

GeoLab Wind Systems involves a series of primarily Silverlight demos from the software development arm of GeoLab. Two of the chief technologies GeoLab has been focusing on include: the more advanced 1.0 Silverlight control from ESRI, and the Microsoft Bing control for Silverlight which is still in Beta. Two demonstrations using these controls are available from GeoLab, and are constantly being updated on an Agile Development schedule. These demonstrations utilize NREL 50 meter wind data, FEMA electric transmission data, BLM land ownership data, GAP protected areas data, and other layers that apply to the overall project goal of wind suitability for an area. We are in the process of adding REST/WCF services, GeoRSS, Address Searches, WMS overlays, and other controls to demonstrate the power of Silverlight.

Wind Application Systems

The following Microsoft Silverlight® Wind Applications are currently under development:

ArcGIS® Demo:  Recently released, 1.0 Silverlight for ArcGIS, is the most advanced GIS Silverlight control available. It has been released as an API option for ArcGIS Server, but is generic enough to be integrated with PostGIS, GeoWebCache, GeoServer and Open Street Maps. It can be seen here.   Launch System



Bing Maps® Demo:  The CTP (Community Technology Preview) was released in March, 2009. It is an emerging option to the Bing Maps AJAX API, and utilizes all the same 2D datasets available for that API. Rumor has it that Bing Maps Silverlight API will be finalized in the fall of 2009.   Launch System
