Intermap Technologies Completes 3D Digital Mapping Data Collection for Western Europe



    Intermap Technologies today announced that it has completed the data

    collection of its NEXTMap® Europe 3D mapping program. The company-funded initiative to collect

    approximately 2.2 million km2 across Europe

    began with Great Britain in 2003, continued with Germany in 2006, and

    was completed April 11, 2008. The Company´s

    NEXTMap Europe datasets include 18 Western European countries, including

    Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany

    Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands

    Portugal, San Marino, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The

    processing of the data is underway and is scheduled to be fully

    completed by March 31, 2009.
    According to Brian Bullock, Intermap´s

    president and CEO, "this is a feat of

    tremendous significance. Never before has a commercial enterprise

    endeavored to collect a database of uniformly accurate 3D elevation data

    and orthorectified images of entire countries, let alone nearly half of

    a continent. A project of this magnitude is not only unheard of, it

    provides an enabling foundation for the development of a variety of

    applications that rely on high-quality and consistent elevation data."
    The NEXTMap Europe program will generate national datasets at

    unprecedented accuracy and detail that include 3D digital terrain models

    and digital surface models containing more than 80 billion elevation

    measurements. In addition, the datasets include black and white and

    color orthorectified radar images containing over 1.3 trillion pixels

    each. The Company is also creating contours, 3D road centerline

    geometries, and other high-resolution geospatial products as part of the

    program. The NEXTMap data is available directly from Intermap or through

    selected partners worldwide.
    "European companies and governments, and

    international enterprises will benefit greatly by having access to such

    a comprehensive data set," continued Mr.

    Bullock. "As initiatives mandated by the

    European Union affect companies across a wide range of industries and

    countries, we´re pleased to be in a position

    to meet their geospatial needs."
    The ever growing geospatial market will benefit from this new

    foundational layer in the areas of geographic information systems (GIS)

    environmental management, carbon emission reduction, fuel efficiency

    improvements, engineering planning, transportation, automotive

    recreation, risk management for flood and windstorm damage, irrigation

    telecommunications/wireless network planning, aviation safety, wind

    energy, 3D visualization, online virtual tours, topographic maps, and

    computer games.
    The Company will continue its ongoing processing and editing of the

    collected data to produce commercially available datasets over the

    coming ten months. Additionally, the Company is continuing its

    collection, processing, and editing of its NEXTMap USA program, which is

    expected to be completed by the end of 2009. Once the U.S. is complete

    the Company intends to expand its coverage to include the entire

    European Union.
