Maps
The ACAMS Maps module is a database system for storage, retrieval and display of maps relevant for ATC operations. Examples of such maps are:

• Aerodrome and approach charts
• Airport diagrams
• Airspace maps

The system stores the maps as files in a standard format suitable for the map type. The map files are linked to a database which contains relevant details such as title, keywords (search words), revision, responsible, validity date, previous version, new version etc. which allows for efficient retrieval and management of the maps.

Typical screen layout:


The Maps module viewer includes support for the following features (if available in the map source file):

• Zoom and pan
• Name search
• Layers show/hide
• Lat/long information
• Distance measuring
• User marking
• Printing

The Maps module utilises web browser technology allowing integration with other information types and sources.

The database tables and map files are replicated to both servers for increased availability.
