Press Release Dec 05, 2002
Allows MapInfo Professional Users to view USGS aerial photography and topological maps. East Lansing,MI-- Mapping Solutions LLC today unveiled TerraViewer for MapInfo Professional. TerraViewer is an add-on to MapInfo Professional that integrates the Microsoft TerraServer.net web service seamlessly into MapInfo Professional v6.5 and above. The product enables end users to view terabytes of United States Geological Survey (USGS) archived black and white aerial photography and sixteen color topological maps locally on their desktop. Commenting on the launch of the product, David Langley, Director of Programming Services said, "We believe that aerial photography will become an integral part of main stream desktop mapping over the next few years and because of the size of the data involved and the cost of direct ownership and support, it makes ideal sense for users to connect to web services remotely to view this type of data. We believe that MapInfo Corporation' commitment to the .NET platform will only accelerate the adoption of Web Services within the desktop mapping community."
