| How can geospatial solutions capture more of the IT budget? |
|
"IT departments are being forced to become more process oriented. Instead of just being stewards of all the infrastructure and applications, IT is being held accountable for process outcomes and the support of business objectives. Geospatial tools are inline with this growing trend." Matt Ball, editor Americas/Asia Pacific This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. |

WHITE PAPER: Extending 3D Models Beyond Application Dead Ends We are quickly moving toward a world where intelligent 3D models will interface with sensor systems for a realistic, up-to-date picture of our world. But for this vision to become a reality, we need compatibility and connectivity between different tools, data types and data models. Vector1 Media has partnered with Safe Software to explore this interoperability between 3D data formats.

| Micro-Location Overview: Beyond the Metre...to the Centimetre |
 Advances in tracking and location technologies are enabling new application development. These applications can be found in environmental, utility, transport and other industrial applications. Many new approaches are being developed for more personal and local use and these applications include in-store location, hospitals, airports and inside buildings. In this column Steven Feldman takes a look at some of these applications and provides his unique views on some of the recent developments. |

Intermap Technologies set some very ambitious goals to collect
orthorectified radar imagery and digital elevation models at the
countrywide scale. The company recently announced the completion of the
data collection portion of their NEXTMap USA project. V1 editor Matt
Ball spoke with Kevin Thomas, Vice President of Marketing for Intermap
about this impressive milestone, and the markets for this data.
