USA–Infoterra, a company in the provision of geospatial products and services, has developed and delivered a new Portal to power Stanfords Business Mapping’s online capability. This Portal for Stanfords Business Mapping, a retail supplier of maps and map data, will give their customers access to a wide range of geospatial data – maps for planning applications, large/small scale map data, aerial photography and height data – via one online resource.
Building on the experience of Infoterra operating and hosting Stanfords GeoStore for over two years, and by using the latest technologies, the Portal will deliver more functionality and a simple four step buying process. It offers detailed searching – down to a specific address, a large preview window, more navigation & selection tools, as well as a sophisticated measuring and annotation capability. The portfolio of data products has also been extended to include OS MasterMap in both print and vector formats, and will be further augmented over the coming months.
The Portal also takes advantage of the latest web-based technologies to provide the user with a range of tools to highlight boundaries, building footprints, planned extensions and access routes, give precise scaling measurement and annotate images where needed. The Portal makes the end-to-end process fast and easy for users – no specialist GIS knowledge or software is needed.
Stanfords Portal provides a single-source of geospatial data for CAD and GIS users, who may be undertaking architectural modelling or environmental feasibility studies. Vector mapping and height data, including Infoterra’s lidar height data of urban areas, can be ordered in a selection of file formats. Aerial photography, including high-resolution imagery for urban areas, can be licensed fully geo-referenced and GIS-ready.
