- World 30 Sales Year-Over-Year Grow Over 15 Times in
2013 -
DENVER,
Jan. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Intermap
Technologies (TSX:IMP), (ITMSF:BB), a leading provider of
geospatial solutions on-demand created from its uniform,
high-resolution 3D digital models of the earth's surface, today
announced that its NEXTMap World 30 product surpassed sales of
$1.2M in 2013, more than 15 times
2012 sales. World 30 is the world's first and only seamless digital
map of the entire earth with a global accuracy of 7-meters.
The latest version of the World 30 product, announced
August 21, 2013, is up to three times
more accurate than competing global Digital Elevation Models (DEMs)
such as NASA's Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data and
Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer
(ASTER) Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM). The World 30 dataset
integrates seamlessly with Intermap's Orion Platform and provides a
foundation data layer for the Company's web-based 3D Business
Intelligence (3DBI®) applications including flood planning,
advertising, telecommunications and risk management. World 30
enables the immediate delivery of the Company's 3DBI applications
anywhere in the world.
"One of the most exciting features of our World 30 product is
that it can be purchased, downloaded and used in the same day,"
said Todd Oseth, Intermap's
president and CEO. "We've also started to see World 30 purchases as
the first step in the implementation of larger Orion-based spatial
data infrastructure projects around the world. It's clear that
World 30 purchases can be an indicator of a customer's future
interest in Intermap's other products and services."
The three key benefits of World 30 are:
Accuracy: The improved World 30 v2.0 DEM utilizes over
204 million ground control points with an accuracy of 25cm RMSE or
better, to control the vertical elevation of an aggregated surface
model derived from ASTER GDEM v2, SRTM v2.1 and GTOPO30. The
corrected DEMs were combined with Intermap's proprietary data
fusion technology, to create a seamless, void-filled and consistent
dataset with a global accuracy of 7 meters RMSE.
Coverage: Intermap has applied its extensive terrain
elevation knowledge and data fusion capabilities to create an
application-ready product for the entire globe. All voids or
anomalies found in the native SRTM or ASTER data have been
meticulously removed and repaired in the World 30 dataset.
Access: Data is available instantly: (1) via the cloud as
an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant Web Map Service (WMS)
or Web Coverage Service (WCS) dataset, (2) via API, or (3) for
purchase at Intermap's WebStore:
