Dynamic Maps

Cloud Amber aims to provide the most understandable and most relevant traffic and transport map available on the market. Cloud Amber user-tailored maps will display only the features that are relevant to the user and easily integrates in to all existing GIS systems.

Example of gritting routes:

Only features relevant to the user will be displayed. For example rather than showing train tracks, cycle paths and other information to car users, they are more interested in road works and other issues that are likely to disrupt their journey. Similarly a heavy goods vehicle may not be able to use most of the roads in a rural area, so why highlight useless information?

Example of flood plains:

dynamic maps flood

Equally, if a roadwork was to start in 2 months, but the user is making a journey tomorrow, the user is not interested in having icons blocking the user view of the road's progress. Similarly, if the user is planning to travel when the roadworks occur not only does this need to be shown but more importantly, what the user can do about it.
