EVC offers a broad range of geospatial raster and vector data, from high-resolution DEMs to full vector GIS datasets through their web site.
"Our partnership will allow our customers to make direct online purchases of some of the highest quality terrain data on the market today,” said Kent Lee, president and CEO of EVC. "Intermap's highly accurate digital elevation models and images are perfectly suited for a variety of robust geospatial applications, and we are thrilled to be able to make this data easily available with seamless ordering options such as credit card payments and digital delivery."
