Process for EGIS integration
ESRI REST, WMS, SHP and GDB Files:
ESRI REST, WMS, SHP and GDB files can be integrated directly into EGIS.
TC Smart Maps:
Not all GIS applications can consume KML file directly due to its unique data structures such as networklinks, folders, models etc.
Please contact Lawrence Chong, Digital Services Directorate for TC Smart Maps KML dataset and format translation.
