eMapSite.com becomes reseller for Lovell Johns

Issue date: 27 July 2000

eMapSite.com announce they have established a reseller agreement with Lovell Johns to enable map users to obtain Lovell Johns’ maps via eMapSite’s new web-based digital mapping service.

eMapSite is set to revolutionise the way large commercial map users access, buy, use and manage digital maps. Based on Image Web Server technology, the eMapSite web site enables users to search, browse, zoom, view, print and download the available map data over the internet to suit their specific requirements. They can then import and use the data in their own GIS, CAD and other image processing and office applications.

James Cutler, eMapSite’s Chief Executive and joint-founder says "It reduces the cost of sourcing, obtaining, storing and distributing the data as we look after all the issues related to updating, maintenance, copyright and royalties."

The site also enables the user to select and buy only the data they want, rather than having to purchase whole or pre-defined maps. And as delivery is via the Web, there are no delays or additional delivery costs. Cutler adds "eMapSite makes obtaining maps simpler and more cost-effective, thereby widening the market for our suppliers’ data."

Alan Smith, Lovell Johns Marketing Manager added: "Lovell Johns maps have been designed for use on the web and already appear on a number of prominent sites. The eMapsite is the perfect vehicle for getting our maps to a wider audience"

For web-site owners, eMapSite offers innovative solutions for providing relevant and informative location-specific content such as maps, aerial photography and satellite imagery. Links are provided to pre-defined views of the data, but the eMapSite technology then allows site visitors to seamlessly zoom and pan to view the area of their particular interest from within their browser.

The new eMapSite service will be exhibited at GIS 2000, taking place at Earl’s Court London, 26-28 September.
