DENVER: Intermap Technologies™ today announced they have expanded their relationship with Global Mapper Software, LLC, a producer of geographic information system (GIS) software. Global Mapper will now offer Intermap's high-resolution digital elevation models, orthorectified radar images, contour line maps, and optimized triangulated irregular network (TIN) models to its users worldwide. Global Mapper's software has been augmented to easily ingest Intermap's base data products from within the application itself, creating a streamlined workflow for commercial and government GIS professionals. Global Mapper's GIS application has built-in functionality for distance and area calculations, raster blending, feathering, spectral analysis and contrast adjustment, elevation querying, line-of-sight calculations, and cut-and-fill volume calculations. Advanced capabilities include image rectification, contour generation and view shed analysis from surface data, terrain layer comparison (including differencing), and triangulation and gridding of 3D point data. Repetitive tasks can be accomplished using the built-in scripting language or comprehensive batch conversion functionality. According to Mike Childs, CEO for Global Mapper Software LLC, "Our ability to help customers solve complex problems will no doubt be enhanced by the availability of Intermap data through our software interface. Such high quality and affordable data will allow customers to arrive at more accurate solutions with significant savings in both time and money.
