eMapSite.com offers new map content for web site owners

Issue date: Tuesday 9th January 2001

eMapSite.com today announced they are offering specially priced introductory map content solutions for web site owners who are looking for informative and compelling map content for their web site.

The special Introductory Offer solutions provide web site owners with a choice of map content from a wide selection of international city street maps plus UK maps centred on a user-entered postcode. Unlike other map providers, the eMapSite content allows users to seamlessly roam and zoom over the maps as if they were paper maps rather than restricting them to pre-defined views. This unique functionality is provided by the Image Web Server technology, that enables the delivery of large image files in real time over the web. To enjoy this functionality, users simply have to download a small, self-installing plug-in.

Peter Baynes, Marketing Manager, for eMapSite says “The Introductory Offer solutions are aimed at those web site owners who want to differentiate and add value to their site with information-rich map content. For example, travel sites could use the map content to illustrate their travel features and enhance their holiday offerings.”

The map content becomes an integral part of the customer’s web site as maps are provided with the customer’s own advertising and branding. Solutions are also implemented very quickly and simply as the map content remains on eMapSite’s web servers.

eMapSite.com is a UK registered company based in Hampshire, England,  and established by James Cutler and Justin Saunders, who share over 30 years GIS experience, the last 7 years with their own consultancy, GISL Limited. eMapSite is the first commercial service to deliver large-scale georeferenced maps and images in real time over the Internet. eMapSite uses Image Web Server technology that also allows the user to interactively roam and zoom over imagery.  The new eMapSite service brings benefits to two distinct markets: commercial map users, such as utilities, telcos, the public sector and professional GIS users, who need easy, affordable access to digital map data for their GIS applications; and website owners who wish to add informative and compelling mapping content to their websites. The eMapSite website at www.emapsite.com went live on 30 June 2000. eMapSite is enabled by Level 3 Communications. Image Web Server is a product of Earth Resource Mapping (www.ermapper.com).
