Intermap Technologies: offering seamless three-dimensional contour datasets derived from and designed to complement our entire suite of NEXTMap® digital elevation models.
High-quality Contours to Meet Your Specific Geospatial Needs
We automatically derive our contours from our bare-earth digital terrain models (DTMs) and make them available at various intervals, depending on your specific application requirements and the terrain
characteristics of your area of interest. Our contour generation methodology is well-designed, thoroughly tested, and passed through a strict quality control regimen.

Key Features of Intermap’s Contour Generation Methodology
Our precision contour datasets are seamless and feature elevations that are referenced to mean sea level; include index contours; eliminate the employment of breaklines in contour generation (our elevation models do not rely on the creation of breaklines); undergo a rigorous quality-controlled production methodology to ensure the highest accuracy.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.What message are we sending to senior level decision makers about the importance and value of Spatial Data Infrastructure - SDI - if we keep misrepresenting what SDI is or is all about?
In previous editorials in this magazine I have touched on various SDI issues, especially now that the pan-European SDI has achieved a legally mandated status within the European Union's 27 Member States. Yet I fear that the Geographic Information community - or communities, for there are many - continue to… More…
