What is the advantage of MSS?

Symbols or tactical graphics are not exchanged as an image they are handled via their SymbolString. This enables the system independent exchange of Graphics within only a few characters.

The MssLibrary which contains all symbols and tactical graphics can be extended with a country and/or product specific graphics. This includes as well the display options and settings.

Example of MssDraw with integrated openstreetmap

The service can be implemented in any system requiring military symbols and tactical graphics. It provides a wide range of export formats includeing,*.svg, *.png, *.wmf, *.emf, *.jpg, *.bmp, ...
