 Hi there, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosel here. So I came across today something that I thought was pretty cool And I wanted to show people show people its coolness and this is really for people for people living in Israel This is a I think really interesting tool to know about useful tool and it's a national GIS tool so I've talked on this channel before about the GIS system that Riyadh Yerushalayim the Jerusalem municipality puts out there and it is quite good Lot more data there than on Google Maps now that you might be asking well, what's a GIS and what is the difference between Google Maps? Well, it'll kind of explain itself when I show you what this thing can do but basically You have a lot more information than Google Maps just being sort of a commercial or sort of Open access mapping tool this thing is an official government resource Gov map dot gov dot ill and the government puts in and various government ministries put in different information layers To the map that lets you see where things are those things can be official municipal boundaries or fire stations or ATM machines, etc. So it's really really quite powerful So the URL for this system here is a gov map dot gov dot il now. I just want to say my Hebrew is so so and There is an English interface. So you can click on English and get that up in English, but like most things in I was gonna say in Hebrew again in Israel You're much better off sticking with Hebrew if you want to see everything it can do so that's what I'm going to do and I mentioned the Hebrew because the pronunciation at times might be a little bit spotty So nevertheless, so that's how to do it now. You can use this as a regular web user Anonymous, you don't need to register or you can register and if you do register you can get more out of this tool so There's also documentation up there on the internet So if you type in gov map, you will be able to access this PDF the gov map user guide Hovert had a hovert did I get that right? It's it's the vowels that kill me You don't know the vowels in Hebrew. They're not written out So if it's hobo or some other vowelization, please correct me in the comments. So there's this 30-page PDF telling you everything this thing can do essentially and What is what is good about this is you have here on page 5 of the current manual there is a Comparison table showing you what you can do Glisha and on limit and what you can do Glisha and shame is to mesh So that this is what you can do without registering and this is what you can do with an account So you can save layers. You also have shimush API usage so there's an API for this too, which is pretty cool And as you would expect in order to be able to use the API you need to be registered It's irat shirva creation of a layer so you can actually create your own layer private layer on the GIS system if you have a That was a thought that was what's technically called a tautology GIS system to create your own layer on the GIS you You need to have an account basically so Let let me show you some more things that are in this I I'm gonna have to move myself move myself again slightly here Watch as I travel around the screen. So in addition to the English there is here at the bottom You see you have she knew you're a car, which means change the background so Apologies apologies for this technical for these technical mishaps. I'm gonna I'm gonna go to this site Okay, so now now you can see right so there is map are a car background map and the default option is rechovot and of name Mivni mivni streets and buildings and But here's watch this very very cool Sillum avio will get you to your satellite imagery and the resolution as in Jerusalem is just like Would blow Google Maps out of the water like so many times over. It's not even funny like have a look at it It's like seriously seriously pretty impressive now. I know I follow on Twitter some real You know these guys who like follow airplanes and like follow the like open-source satellite imagery So I'd imagine they're probably laugh laughing at me calling this very good But from my perspective compared to Google Maps, I find the resolution here very very clear Another cool thing with this is that you can go between You can change between different years of satellite imagery. So this is 2020 2019 all the way back to two thousand and sorry two thousand five seven ten 18 19 and 20 now I've just focused on a random patch of Tel Aviv for this screencast but you could probably compare development if you went through the years like if I just kind of Let's see somewhere that might have been built I mean in Israel over the course of 15 years where where isn't being built is probably better question to ask Let's see what's going on by this patch of the coast 2020 2019 do you notice something guys you do What did we have in 2019 that we didn't have in 2020 someone has moved in the sun chairs sun chairs no sun chairs And if you actually know about this stuff and you're spend a lot of time doing it you'll probably notice many more differences I mean you can probably see look. I'm pretty sure there is some development there Well, I can confirm that this building has been in Tel Aviv since 2005 at least so that's at Siloom Avir now there is also Siloom Avir Michelavre Michelavre means mixed. So here you have a mixture of satellite imagery with Street names superimposed on the satellite imagery is that's pretty cool. So if I just go back to Siloom Avir I don't necessarily don't know what street. This is right. You do always by the way Yeah, this is in the screen thankfully so you can see XY. So you'll always be able to know where you are geographically through the system But if I go for the I like this one Siloom of Siloom Avir Michelavre and you can see what how much information is superimposed. We've got street numbers This is 163 Ben Yehuda in Tel Aviv this so you can see exactly where we are on the on the map What else is there? There's so much to unpack in this thing It's a whole goodie box of Geographical exploration here Siloom Avir CIR I feel like this is thermal imagery someone someone more knowledgeable than I probably knows because all the trees are Red have suddenly become red And so I reckon this is something to do. This is something of interest to botanist. That's my guess Could probably Google it Google it, but I leave the suspense open my pot historic. Oh cool historical maps So this is not so we can look at the 1930 map of Tel Aviv Look at this this thing is like this is a free resource. This is just like out there on the internet. You can This is nuts What other historical maps can we look at look at 1919 here at Tikai Uruchalayim is there and My pot on a different scale, so let me just go back to And oh, and you can also do no background so you can just have I'll show you that some of the things you can do in a second there So let's just go back to this one so that's how you do that and and You can edit also things or put them onto the layers you can print them You can also save the map so like if you wanted to I don't know grab a chunk of satellite imagery from Tel Aviv You can go Shimura Mapa and you can watch this now. I can like Select an area. I Don't want to save it as a base layer and I click on Shamur and now it's downloaded a PNG Just of that imagery. I mean, this is this is good. No, this is very This is a very nice tool. Okay, let me just show you the couple of things I did want to really show or highlight besides all the many things so you can register and save things and Do more with it and there's also little that me dude. There's a little measurement function here that you can do you can measure the area between points And you can you can take straight line measurements. I'm presuming Yeah, but a lot of the functionality here that I that I find interesting was in Shirvot Shirvot means stands for and I hope the pronunciation is good here Stands for layers. So what you can do is search through all the different layers of information that are embedded Onto this map. So let me show you some of the things that are on there So again, I found a discrepancy between Hebrew and between English I found in in when I use the thing in Hebrew. There were many more layers So if I want to just click on to and by the way One more thing I should have mentioned here I'm just gonna bring myself back to this this part of the screen is you can just search this like a regular Google map. So I just say, I don't know. It's probably somewhere on Yaffo 100 in Jerusalem Yaffo mea Yerushalayim Search and now we're in Jerusalem on Yaffo 100 and we have the this This map built up there and you can see there's also satellite imagery in Jerusalem Okay, so two things that I thought were cool if you go into Shirvot Right, so this is layers and the first ones are like gonna be sort of the main Ones that they've put up there for your interest, but to very much caught my attention one of these was the ABC Divisions in the West Bank. That's area a area B and area C And the second was I mean there is tons and tons of them Oh, the second was the cell phone towers I'm not sure I should tell the people worried about 5g How to do this, but you know what? We're gonna go all out here. So I have my ABC layer Already on my GIS. I'm just gonna turn it on before I do. Let me go out to somewhere. You can see What's about to happen? So here we are without it And we've just lit up the West Bank We've lit up the West Bank with into area a B and C now I said before that it's very hard to find where is area a area B and area C and This is probably the most Useful tool. I have ever seen With respect to that in terms of like providing the most detail now you can find UN maps you can find other maps But this one is really really powerful. So as you can see inside the green line of Israel It is just not colored and in the West Bank you would answer more on whatever terminology you wish to use and I Don't I don't use any terminology politically I just called the West Bank because that's what I hear people calling it. But you don't show bone You can see the colors are all over the place and you can just kind of figure it out for yourself that you know This is going to be area C I'm actually not sure about that. I know what area a is that's going to be Bethlehem Ramallah, etc No, this is area B I'm sorry and then everything that isn't area a or area B is area C and you can edit the layer as well so you have Odot odot About the layer. There's no info there presumably is coming from the army. I would guess Or from Kogat Beats on it to a chamele Lishka va. All right, so this is where you can how you can change how you find out info about it I'll show you that in a second and then whoops That was supposed to happen and you can also If you go into Sinun, you can filter so there's a Sinun for Azor Here and you can choose to show Area a area B H2 and H H H2 and her brawn are just in Sorry, H2 and H2 and her just in her own and her brawn. I'm gonna go for show everything and Now if I just do a zoom out We should be able to get that that layer back in a second Okay, no, I'm not exactly sure what happened I had to like on take and take but whatever the there's come back So what you can do that is a very very I haven't seen this before is you can firstly click on any layer and you can see Area a and I think these are probably just going to be generic So it says mida Hamid Hamid Parsem He no lead lady Abel bad. So it's basically saying this is for informational purposes only don't rely upon this In the end of me that rich me or may have so it's not official information But coming to a mida a couple of Mitsui et still gourmet on the tour but many hell has rachy So basically don't rely upon this for whatever purposes you might wish to but you can see here the very clear divisions Then if I click on area B It's gonna say the same thing. So it's not specific, but you can see the exact Division between area a and area B Down to the level of individual Houses in where are we think this is Beth Bethlehem? Yeah, Bethlehem here So you can see Bethlehem at showing an eyes was under the impression Bay Jala was area C always So that's interesting. It's young Bay Jala is area a a Yeah, it's young Bay. Is there area three? No, that's area a It's young definitely. Yeah, it's young Bay Jala as area a and then there is like parts of Bay Jala before we show me the road the roads that are areas C it's very strange and This is the and you can see actually more clearly here more parts of Bethlehem as you come out of it There is again this kind of division here between area a And area no, this is between area a and area b So area b is joint control of israel and the pa and area a is full control of the pa for those not aware Um, you can you can see where area So remala for example is area area a Some of these don't really make sense betanina area b is betanina really area b. I'm not sure that's correct um It's the aram area b. I that one. I'm pretty sure is accurate. You can see all the different area b villages here um And uh, some of them are remarkably close to jerusalem You can see here As azim some of it is an area b this port this little parcel So again, it says don't rely upon this but um, if you do if you're ever curious as to Husan is an area b a lot of people think it's area a Um, and you can see again exactly where the where the divisions are. So that's pretty cool So that's the area a b c bit and the other thing I want to show Which is always useful. Oh, yeah, the cell phone towers. So click on uh, antennas cello lariot Pilots opera operational antenna towers And now if you go into jerusalem, let's say, I don't know somewhere like here You can actually see a list of all the cellular antennas in the area and this is uh, again quite cool So if you click into one of them, they actually have the logos of the operators on them, which is again Quite interesting. So I think this is partner. Am I am I am I correct? Pelopon. Sorry Pelopon is that like blue one? This is selcom. I know that much and this one is Pelopon's pelopon is Pelopon is like the green eiffel tower ones So if you click on to like pelopon You can find any antenna You can find where it is. This one is on marquee israel 41 um This one and uh, you can also see What it's broadcasting. Um, you can see the site number Um, you can see the date uh, butica, uh, butica, but to kufit, ah, you can see the last time I was checked Uh, some notes about it where exactly it is And you can see here at the bottom I can't highlight for some reason on this. Uh, you can see where I'm like circling my mouse Technologi ot shidur dor shalosh ve arba. So this is a three and four g radio antenna And I mentioned I said I probably shouldn't have said this because that people are concerned about 5g So if you do want to know what an antenna In your in your neighborhood is broadcasting on you can see in televiv We might find a 5g Some 5g infrastructure Nope now there's probably a way to Filter on if I go back to shirvot and I go into antennas and I go on to sinun Oh, wow, we've got we've got everything here chevrat. So if I clicked on to selcom Mid-kadem now we're just looking at only selcom towers, right? Uh, basi si so I can uh, I can take off or nakai alcohol I can take off that filter for filtering by the company Um, I'm just trying to see can I search filter on the technology? I can indeed technologi ot shidur Uh, let's see there must be there's a one for 5g Doa. Yeah, there is dor chamesh Not showing any in televiv. That makes me a bit suspicious Maybe there's maybe they haven't deployed 5g in televiv yet. Anyway, you get the idea. This thing is like Really, really insanely powerful. You can search for all manner of government infrastructure filter on it Um, there's so much more here than cell phone towers and area abc. There's a bunch of other things Uh, and it's well worth taking a look into taking a look at Uh, even if you're just curious about what's in your local area You might find some surprising info there.
