Leica Geosystems’ GIS & Mapping Division has appointed ERDAS India Pvt. Ltd., as the sole distributor for its Geographic Imaging and Airborne Data Acquisition product lines, and as a sub dealer for the GPS/GIS data collector products. Elcome Technologies Pvt. Ltd will continue to be the main distributor for the division’s GPS/GIS data collector throughout India. The appointment is effective 15 March 2002.
