GPX Converter for ArcGIS 9.x and ArcIMS

The GPX converter is an ArcObjects Application that allows
for easy conversion of your GIS data (shapefiles, feature
classes in a geodatabase) to GPX format (the GPS Exchange
Format). GPX is a light-weight XML data format for the
interchange of GPS data (waypoints, routes, and tracks)
between applications and Web services on the Internet. The
GPX Converter is build for easy integration with ArcGIS and
ArcIMS.


GeoDB Loader for ArcGIS 9.x

The GEODBLoader is an ArcObjects application for ArcGIS 9.x
aiming to automate and speed up the process of converting
and transferring spatial data from file based storage
formats to a Personal or Enterprise Geodatabase or between
Geodatabases. It is suited for both, one time operations, as
well as for routine updates of a geodatabase. It allows all
the following:

- Mapping each input dataset (shapefile, featureclass, other
spatial format supported by ArcGIS) to a corresponding
featureclass in the output geodatabase;
- Mapping each input attribute to one ore more corresponding
attributes in an output featureclass in the geodatabase;
- Mapping input attribute values to new output values (e.g.
to convert input values to standardized values);
- Creating additional attributes and populate them with new
values (constant values or values from an input attribute);
- Mapping and/or creating joined standalone tables;


PANDA: Protected Areas Network Design Application for ArcGIS
9.x

P.A.N.D.A. is a stand-alone application developed using
Visual Basic and ArcObjects. It was developed to provide a
user friendly framework for systematic protected areas
network design to ArcGIS users. Through the use of
P.A.N.D.A. the designer can explore different hypothetical
configurations of a system of protected areas in the
planning area. Conservation achievements and associated
costs of each scenario are based on the available data and
knowledge. The designer can edit the scenario by
interactively modifying the status of the planning units
among 4 managed categories (Included, Protected, Available,
Excluded). He can then explore the target table to see the
resulting changes in conservation achievements of the new
scenario and the associated costs. P.A.N.D.A allows
interacting with the software MARXAN by providing an easy
way to run Marxan over the current scenario and display the
results into ARCGIS format. ARCGIS data files are converted
to and from Marxan data files in the background. The user
can then use P.A.N.D.A. main interface to refine Marxan
solutions. Conservation features distribution, cost and
Marxan irreplaceability score can be easily mapped by
pressing the corresponding buttons. Auxiliary tools involved
in systematic conservation network design will be provided
in next PANDA release, including a tool to generate a grid
of management units of the desired shape and size and an
easy interface to add new conservation features and targets.
