SWAY.ru presents interactive maps of Russian cities

    The SWAY project is an interactive directory of organizations and enterprises in various cities, with a reference to the map. The project was conceived as an open, socially significant and socially-oriented Internet resource addressed to a wide range of Internet users. SWAY is implemented and will be constantly improved as a cartographic Internet resource covering various cities and offering users many options for the most advanced technological solutions for interactive mapping. After the site leaves the beta mode (active testing), it is expected to significantly expand the site’s functionality with new features for users.

    Already on the website the cities are represented: Belgorod, Stary Oskol, Gubkin. The coverage area will expand regularly. Soon you will be able to see the cities: Bryansk, Lipetsk, Voronezh, Kursk, Oryol, Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg and others. The interface for working with maps is implemented using the ADOBE FLASH technology and is an interactive environment with the following features:
    - smoothly zooming the map without reloading the page;
    the ability to move the card by “grabbing” it with the mouse;
    - The original directory makes it easy to find an organization by type of activity;
    - multifunctional search allows you to search both map objects and organizations by any information fields;
    - caching of already downloaded information without re-downloading from the server;
    - all maps are transmitted in vector format and at times less “weigh” raster maps (example Google Maps), which allows you to work with the site even on weak Internet channels;
    - buildings on the map that have organizations are active objects and when clicked, they bring up a window with additional information.
