eMapSite.com becomes reseller for Cities Revealed range of aerial photography

Issue date:11 August 2000

eMapSite.com announces that they have established a reseller agreement with The GeoInformation Group to enable map users to obtain the Cities Revealed aerial photography via eMapSite’s new web-based digital mapping service. 

This will provide one of the first facilities to access and purchase Cities Revealed aerial photography online, eventually expanding to cover over 100 urban areas across the UK and overseas, including Birmingham, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Johannesburg and Tokyo, representing over 1 terabyte of data.  The new eMapSite service will be exhibited at GIS 2000, taking place at Earl’s Court London, 26-28 September.

 The GeoInformation Group are amongst a growing list of leading map and image publishers whose data is available from the innovative website at www. emapsite.com.

 Dr. Alun Jones, co-founder of The GeoInformation Group remarked “We are delighted that our immense and valuable archive of imagery is now available online via eMapSite.”

 “Our service revolutionises the way that large commercial map users obtain their data”, says James Cutler, eMapSite’s Chief Executive and joint-founder. “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.”

 eMapSite has been established to initially meet the needs of two markets: large commercial digital map users, such as utilities, telcos, public sector, and professional GIS users, who need easy, affordable access to digital maps for their GIS applications; and web-sites owners who require exciting and dynamic mapping content, such as those related to tourism, travel, leisure, property and news.
