30 January 2009, 6:55pm

Intermap Technologies has added the largest country in the European Union to its library of NEXTMap® Europe digital elevation data. Comprising more than 550,000 square kilometers of high-resolution 3D data, NEXTMap® Europe – France includes digital elevation models (DEMs) and orthorectified radar images (ORIs) for the entire country. The company has also added Italy, and is set to complete the entire NEXTMap Europe program by March of this year.

"Intermap is on track to deliver on its commitment to provide users across Europe with a consistent, accurate, and up-to-date geospatial dataset that can help meet the insurance risk assessment, energy development, resource management, and other environmental challenges facing many EU nations," said Brian Bullock, Intermap Technologies’ president and chief executive officer. "Moreover, the completion of each new countrywide dataset enables additional cross-border applications and collaboration across the region – a collaboration that was nearly impossible prior to our NEXTMap Europe initiative."

At the time of this publication, Intermap’s NEXTMap Europe program offers more than 1.5 million square kilometers of European data, including all of France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and Luxembourg. Portions of Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Spain, Switzerland, and The Netherlands are also available.
