"We are delighted to offer our customers a much larger selection of digital geographic data", says Justin Saunders, eMapSite's Technical Director and joint-founder. "Offering additional geospatial datasets from the LAND INFO archive and related data extraction services, combined with our unique method of delivery makes it easier for our customers to source, access and use this information."

eMapSite allow users to view maps before they buy and also to select the precise area they want, rather than be limited to pre-defined datasets or tiles. eMapSite are processing and compressing the LAND INFO data to create a series of seamless map databases and deliver it to customers in ECW format (as well as standard delivery and formats) using Image Web Server technology. eMapSite are the only online provider that offer access to application-ready map data in this way. This removes the need for the customer to wait for delivery of the data on CD and then process and store the map data on their own systems. They simply access the data via a URL using an ECW-enabled application.

"This is a very important step to strengthening our focus on the growing overseas market", commented James E. Schiefer, Executive VP of Sales and Marketing for LAND INFO International. "LAND INFO continues to grow our massive archive of digital geospatial datasets, as well as our data extraction services. We are committed to expanding its online and offline access for users in Europe, Asia, Africa and across the globe."
