Incremental updates

In previous eNewsletters we have been reporting that from 2008 DSE would commence issuing Vicmap Incremental Update Format (IUF) File on a weekly rather than a fortnightly frequency. Although the new seed files (dated 23/12/2007) have been issued (all Spatial Vision NEXUS clients should have received these by now from either Spatial Vision or Logica), the IUF XML files continue to be issued fortnightly rather than weekly. The word from DSE is that they are currently unsure when weekly updates will commence.

Vicmap Lite

In March 2008, DSE will release a new product called Vicmap Lite. It is a cut down version of key datasets in the Vicmap suite of products. The datasets have been generalised for optimum display at small scales (i.e. less than 1:250,000) and for web mapping covering the entire state.
