There’s always something new on NN4D!

We launched a couple of new things on NN4D that you might want to check out.
First of all, we are very excited to announce that we have a upgraded our site search function! This is exciting news for us, as it will help you find information more quickly and easily on NN4D.com. What exact updates have we made?
  • Predictive Search lists of query options are displayed to users before they even finish entering their search terms.
  • Advanced Search is now right at the top! Right there, always ready and easy to find!
  • Search Tips are detailed explanations of the options for advanced search are provided, as well as some examples of query definitions.
  • Presentation of Search Results. Search results are organized by type, i.e., content page, file, video, forum, blog, FAQ and Knowledge Base. 
  • Updated Breadcrumb Trail offers a navigation aid that allows users to keep track of their locations on the website.
Destination Maps
We have also just launched the “Destination Maps” section on NN4D. Destination Maps is a set of interactive and detailed maps of frequently visited indoor and outdoor locations with navigable map data and rich POI content in GML format.

GML format? Yes, this is Geography Markup Language, an open interchange format for geographic transactions on the Internet. The GML standards are kept by our good friends over at the Open Geospatial Consortium, so that is a good thing!

For those developers that don’t want to deal with GML files, fear not! The latest release of the VisioDevKit 1.1  includes some pre-compiled Destination Map data, so you can get up and running with this new product right away!

Well, there you have it, a couple of new updates for you to explore! Let us know what you think!
