NSW’s DCS Spatial Services is inviting users to try out the beta version of its new Spatial Digital Twin Explorer prior to the retirement of the SIX Maps service next year.
According to Spatial Services, the Spatial Digital Twin Explorer (SDT Explorer) combines the best features of the NSW Digital Twin Visualisation Service and SIX Maps, enabling users to undertake a variety of mapping tasks in one place.
The SDT Explorer is to replace SIX Maps, which is described as the entry point for viewing Spatial Services’ interactive images and mapping of NSW, incorporating a range of spatial and property data.
SIX Maps is free to use, and can display whole-of-NSW imagery and base map data, including NSW address and property administrative boundaries, lot, deposited plan, strata plan and local government areas.
The SDT Explorer, on the other hand, gives access to data categories such as:
- Addresses, location and positioning
- Buildings and settlements
- Energy, communication and other utilities
- Environment
- Farming and agriculture
- Flora and fauna
- Elevation and depth
- Government districts and boundaries
- Imagery and land cover
- Inland waters
- Population and society
- Property and land parcels
- Transportation
DCS Spatial Services is asking users to try out the SDT Explorer and provide feedback (via the feedback menu item on the website).
