eMapSite.com becomes reseller for Bartholomew Mapping Solutions

Issue date: 4 August 2000

eMapSite.com announces that they have established a reseller agreement with Bartholomew Mapping Solutions to enable map users to obtain Bartholomew maps via eMapSite’s new web-based digital mapping service. 

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

Duncan Pickering, Bartholomew Data Sales Manager is enthusiastic about the agreement: “Over the past few years we have been working extremely hard to make our data products compatible with, and easy to use in a web environment.  We are very pleased that eMapSite has recognised the quality and range of these London, GB, European and World map data sets.”

Bartholomew maps are available on the eMapSite website that has been established to initially meet the needs of two markets: large commercial digital map users and web-sites owners.

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 eMapSite mapping but the eMapSite then enables site visitors to seamlessly zoom and pan to their area of interest from within their browser while remaining within the host website.

For commercial map users, the innovative website at eMapSite.com provides access to data from a growing list of leading map and image publishers. Based on Image Web Server technology, the site enables users to search, browse, zoom, view, link to, print and download the available map data over the internet to suit their specific requirements. eMapSite enables such clients to use the data in their own GIS, CAD and other image processing and office applications.

eMapSite 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. As James Cutler, eMapSite’s Chief Executive and joint-founder explains “eMapSite makes obtaining maps simpler and more cost-effective, thereby widening the market for our suppliers’ data. It truly is a win-win situation with benefits for both users and suppliers alike.”
