Richmond Hill, Ontario – June 2, 2009: PCI Geomatics has won the Geospatial Innovator Award from GeoTec Media for its ProLines GeoImaging Server. The category of the Geospatial Innovator Award recognises geospatial tool developers that have created new software or hardware that expands the possibilities of the geospatial industry.
