Abstract

This work aims at highlighting the usage of ‘state of art technology’ for creating the user friendly spatial interfaces for the common usage applications. The advent of web services and APIs opens up the possibility of collecting and communicating the non spatial information spatial intuitively. A Spatial treat to the non spatial problem makes the data comprehensive and significant to solve the real time problems. In this paper, we developed an interactive interface by investigating the API technology to transform and map the substantial non spatial data in a spatial format to a horde of internet users. This development not only demonstrates the advancements in communicating and visualizing the data, but also emphasizes on the usage of ready to use data for quick, economical and effective dissemination. In this line of research, we developed spatial graphical user interface that showcases the details of Cyberabad police zones for the benefit of the common public.
