Santa Clara, Calif., April 28, 2008 – DigiTerra Explorer mobile GIS and field mapping software is now available pre-installed on an SD card with the Magellan MobileMapper CX handheld GPS/GIS receiver. Digiterra Explorer with the MobileMapper CX sub-meter real-time GPS receiver promises exceptional productivity at low-cost for field mapping and data collection applications. DigiTerra Explorer is gaining attention as a fast and easy-to-use GIS application package for visualizing, analyzing, editing and collecting digital topographical and descriptive data in the field.
“MobileMapper CX pre-loaded with DigiTerra Explorer makes it easier than ever for asset managers to combine the benefits of these two industry-leading GIS data collection solutions,” said Francois Erceau, general manager, Magellan Professional.

The Digiterra Explorer mobile GIS and Mapping software offers a wide range of utility for many types of field data collection including agronomists, foresters, field biologists, firefighters, utility transmission companies, geographers, hydrologists, landscape architects and surveyors.
