Maps 1.8.9 for iPad - View maps at High Magnification - Published on 05/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Corporate Smalltalk Consulting has announced Maps 1.8.9, their advanced document viewer for iPad. Using its proprietary LargeViewer technology, Maps accommodates highly detailed maps at high magnifications that facilitate rapid scrolling and minimal display lag. The app features TIFF, PDF, and Dropbox download compatibility, quick-view thumbnails, multi-tasking support, and either iOS and/or OS X based pre-rendering. Users can render finely detailed charts at 5x.

Sidney (BC) Canada - Corporate Smalltalk Consulting has announced Maps 1.8.9 for iPad, an update to their Navigation app that provides an advanced document viewer that accommodates highly detailed documents at high magnifications. Maps with its proprietary LargeViewer technology allows rapid scrolling and minimal drawing lag times for large charts and massive PDF documents.

Ordinary iPad document viewers slow to a crawl or simply crash and scrolling is extremely difficult when working with large maps or completely give up when dealing with wall maps. Maps has been specifically designed to provide effortless, real-time scrolling both horizontally and vertically, and quick zooms in and out. The app features TIFF, PDF, and Dropbox download compatibility, quick-view thumbnails, multi-tasking support, and either iOS and/or OS X based pre-rendering.

Employing accelerated PDF viewing logic, combined with CSC's newest TIFF decoder, it facilitates the pre-rendering of files into LargeViewer format. All pre-rendering need be done only once; thereafter, converted files may be opened and viewed easily. While pre-rendering can be done within the app, CSC recommends their free, Mac OS X LargeViewer Helper for batch pre-rendering. Pre-rendering is done at 2x, but users can render finely detailed charts at 5x, enabling instant zooming in at 40x magnification.

Feature Highlights:
* Innovative document viewer accommodates highly detailed maps
* Maps allows display of image documents up to wall size posters
* Reads over 50 different image file formats, and many MS office formats
* Displays and paginates large PDF files, up to thousands of pages
* Support for TIFF/FAX files with variable page sizes
* Dropbox file download compatibility
* Acts like a USB memory stick
* Responsive H/V scrolling and zooming through large documents
* Sophisticated Cache Manager allows user control of cached Dropbox files
* Supports multi-tasking, allowing pre-processing to be done in the background
* Improved logic for dealing with multi-page PDF books

A major convenience feature of Maps is its Dropbox compatibility. The app has read-only Dropbox capability; it will never change or delete a Dropbox stored file. In addition, the app provides a sophisticated Cache Manager. This gives users complete control over files that have been stored in cache memory, allowing mirroring and later use of the Dropbox folder, even when there is no Internet connectivity.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* iOS 5.0 or later
* 13.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Maps 1.8.9 is $4.99 (USD) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Navigation category. Review copies are available upon request.

Well Logs 1.8.9 for iOS - View Xtra-Large PDF/TIFF Oil Well and Mud Log - Published on 05/20/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Corporate Smalltalk Consulting Ltd has announced Well Logs 1.8.9 for iPad, their app for the petroleum industry that enables viewing of very large Well and Mud Logs in either PDF or TIFF formats. Capable of displaying documents as big as 11 inchs by 100 feet the app relies upon proprietary technology from its LargeViewer app to import, store, pre-render, tile, scale, and scroll very large images on any iOS device and supports more than 35 different graphics file formats.

Sidney (BC), Canada - Corporate Smalltalk Consulting Ltd has announced Well Logs 1.8.9 for iPad, an update to their unique app for the petroleum industry that enables viewing of extremely large Well and Mud Logs in either PDF or TIFF formats. Capable of displaying documents as big as 11 inches by 100 feet at 230 dpi, the app relies upon proprietary technology from its LargeViewer app to import, store, pre-render, tile, scale, and scroll very large images on any iOS device, there is no reliance on backend services or internet access required for viewing your well log.

Well Logs is the only iOS app on the market to have the capabilities to load and view oil & gas wireline well log TIFF and/or PDF images. With wireline well files up to dozens of feet long, most apps do not have the capacity to allow such images to load without crashing. Well Logs has made it a priority to specifically handle such unwieldy files. Of course, the advantages of viewing well logs that are 17 inches x 65 feet, or land maps that are 4 x 18 feet on an iPad rather than a paper document are significant. On-site viewing and discussion of paper documents no longer presents the inconvenience it once was, plus this reduces costs associated with the original printing process as paper and ink are costly items.

Well logging, also known as borehole logging, is the practice of making a detailed record (a well log) of the geologic formations penetrated by a borehole. The log may be based either on visual inspection of samples brought to the surface (geological logs) or on physical measurements made by instruments lowered into the hole (geophysical logs). Well logging is done during all phases of a well's development: drilling, completing, producing, and abandoning. Well logging is commonly used to document the presence of oil and gas, groundwater, minerals, and geothermal sources, as well as during the process of conducting environmental and geotechnical studies.

Feature Highlights:
* Designed especially for the petroleum industry to view large Well and Mud Logs on iPad
* Capable of displaying documents as big as 11 x 770 inches at 230 dpi
* Uses LargeViewer technology to import, store, pre-render, tile, scale, and scroll very large images on any iOS device
* Handles Land Map files 4 x 18 feet (or larger)
* 8x zoom, horizontal & vertical scrolling
* Advanced memory management permits display of images over 640 megapixels in size
* Pre-rendering allows smooth scrolling and display
* Cached Dropbox support.
* Accelerated multi-page PDF & TIFF fax file reading for support faxes and PDF documentation
* Supports more than 35 different graphics file formats

In addition to well logs, the app also provides accelerated multi-page PDF & TIFF fax file reading, plus compatibility with all of the image formats supported by Corporate Smalltalk Consulting Ltd's LargeViewer technology: AVS, BMP, CUR, DIB, FITS, GIF, ICON, JNG, JP2, JPEC, JPEG, JPG, MAT, MIFF, MTV, MVG, PBM, PCX, PGM, PICT, PIX, PNG, PNG8, PNG24, PNG32, PNM, PPM, RLE, SGI, TGA, TIFF, TIF, TIM, VIFF, WBMP, WPG, SBM, and XPM.

"I know of no other iOS app that can successfully manage the strenuous demands that are made on mobile devices in displaying well logs and mud logs," commented company Founder John McIntosh. "If you are involved in borehole logging of any kind, Well Logs is a must-have app."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* iOS 5 ready
* 9.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Well Logs 1.8.9 is $19.99 (USD) and available worldwide through the App Store in the Business category. Review copies are available upon request.
