Geoconcept Web is installed with all parameters set as required for it to operate correctly, however you may need to adjust some parameter settings to adapt them for specific utilisations.
Below is a list of the most frequently used parameters. In most instances, to alter them, you will need to go into the menu.
Note also that by default the sub-directories needed by Geoconcept Web are under “C:\Geoconcept Web” designated by “<DATA_HOME>” below.
Advanced parameters are described here.
The directory in which maps in Geoconcept format (.gcm, .gcr) are stored is defined by Data / Map - Path directory in the administration Settings.
The geocoding directory name (made up of a series of files with .ugc.xxi extensions) stored in the Data / Geocoding - Geocoder datasource name folder in the administration Settings.
To use several reference tables simultaneously, consult the World geocoding section.
Advanced geocoding parameters are described here.
The directory in which the reference files are stored is defined in Data / Autocompletion - Autocomplete path directory in the administration Settings.

Caution, you must only indicate the tree structure below the autocomp folder. In our case, the parameter value is Auto-completion, for the |
To construct the autocompletion files, refer to the generation of autompletion files section.
Advanced autocompletion parameters are described here.
The name of the graph or network stored in the “<DATA_HOME>”\data\maps folder should be defined in Data / Route Calculation - Route datasource name in the administration Settings.
To use several graphs simultaneously, consult the Road graphs section.
Advanced itinerary calculation parameters are described here.
When integrating symbols and rasters from the Geoconcept GIS within Geoconcept Web portals, you will need to place the respective files in the following folders:
- Clipart (.png), (.emf), (.wmf), (.svg), …
- Symbols (.sbl)
- Raster
These file paths can be changed by modifying their values via the menu:
- Clipart Display / Symbols - Clipart path directory
- Symboles Display / Symbols - Symbols path directory
- Raster Display / Raster - Raster path directory
- ExtraDrawSize indicates the value in pixels (15 by default). It may be useful to increase the value in order to prevent drawings of some layers (Publisher, label, symbols) being truncated. It will usually help to set the value upwards of 200 pixels. For symbols, use half the symbol size maximum value.
This value can be changed by editing the Display / Parameters - ExtraDrawSize value in the administration Settings.
In the case where the Geoconcept map published with Geoconcept Web Map uses Webmaps that require a licence file (Here, Bing,
…) you will need to copy the licence file into the following folder: “<GEOCONCEPT_WEB_HOME>”\gc\jee\gc\home\Licenses.
To publish a map from the Geoconcept GIS, consult see corresponding FAQ on myGeoconcept.
Available from version 7.2 of the Geoconcept GIS and later versions, this publishing function offers the option to drop a map on a server, update the map of one or more existing projects, or to create a new project.
The map publishing filepath is defined under Publish/Map/Publish path directory in the administration Settings.
To force redirection of URLs, replace the geoconcept-web string with the name of your application in the “<GEOCONCEPT_WEB_HOME>”\tomcat\webapps\ROOT\index.jsp file.
<% response.sendRedirect("/geoconcept-web"); %>
Geoconcept Web uses a cache mechanism at several levels in order to optimize display performances. For more detail on this, consult the Cache section chapter.
