The ICGC launches a new version of the Ull del Temps to explore the evolution of the Catalan territory
The ICGC has launched a new and improved version of the Ull del Temps, a web application that allows you to explore the evolution of the Catalan territory since 1945. This is a fine addition to the past, which combines advanced technology with a simple interface accessible to the entire citizenry
L'Ull del Temps stands out for its ability to show historical images of the territory, including the American flights of 1945 and 1956, as well as the volumes of the deputations of the sixties and seventies, to convert them into rectified images. Furthermore, the entire cartographic production of the ICGC is available to users at any time and at any time. This new version also allows you to visualize the territory in three dimensions, offering an immersive experience that transforms the way you interpret geographical landscapes over time.
Not only does it provide an enriching experience from a historical and visual perspective, but it is also converted into an analysis platform to understand aspects such as vegetation, agricultural transformations, communication infrastructures, social changes and evolution of the towns and cities of Catalonia. It is a combination between ease of use and informative power.

Functionalities
One of the most notable features is the possibility of activating the location of the mobile, which allows users to see in real time the territory in which they are located. This functionality includes the option to generate a link with the position to share it, also indicating information about the orientation regarding the north and the angle of the terrain, connected to the pitch.
Furthermore, the Ull del Temps incorporates historical photographs obtained from the photographic archives of the Map Library of Catalonia. By activating an icon located at the bottom of the page, users can access these images related to the area they are exploring.
In the tools of the left box, it is possible to select different ones and adjust the display of the territory. For example, it is possible to modify the Temps Ull supply or to completely minimize it to view the territory in full screen as it was at any given time. These options allow you to personalize the display according to the preferences of each user.
An advantage of the new version is that it is a progressive web application (PWA). It means that users can access it directly from the browser, but also has the possibility of installing it on the mobile device as if it is a native application. Upon opening the screen, the browser will ask if it is possible to include an icon in the device's script, which greatly facilitates its use and its accessibility. This functionality ensures that it is always suitable for everyone who wants to use it both frequently.
With this new version of the Ull del Temps, the ICGC reaffirms its commitment to innovation and transparency, offering citizens a useful tool to explore, understand and evaluate the evolution of our territory. We invite you to discover it and take advantage of all the potential it offers.
