San Antonio, USA, October 22, 2007: National Geographic Maps and MetaCarta, Inc., provider of geographic search and referencing solutions, announced CartaLens, an innovative geospatial digital asset management solution for georeferencing, managing, retrieving and delivering digital assets. CartaLens is able to search and retrieve location-based information from both structured content and a broad base of digital content such as photos, video, audio and documents, enabling users to fuse digital assets with maps and metadata in a collaborative and interactive viewing environment. CartaLens is being showcased at the GEOINT 2007.
CartaLens enables users to drag and drop assets on to a map which automatically geo-tags the asset for a future geographic search. Its flexible and intuitive interface enables users to identify, locate and access location-aware information by using a map, media thumbnails, or by querying the asset’s metadata. By accessing the CartaLens results dynamically in Google Earth, users can collaborate with their team of subject matter experts in real-time and mix this critical intelligence with other available sources in a 3-D environment.
CartaLens enables users to focus the “Lens” on maps, media, metadata and all-source textual information:
