Europa Technologies is pleased to announce the launch of a new digital map data set. Global Insight Lite is the new entry level data set in the Global Insight product line. Offering up-to-date political mapping and a place gazetteer, Global Insight Lite offers cost effective data for modest digital mapping requirements. Key features include: - Current political world map (1:3M) - Over 19,500 named & classified places - Alternative place spellings - Support data layers - Soft product - ready to download - Free quarterly updates for one year The product provides up-to-date political entities at 1:3,000,000 scale (including some first level administrative borders) and a gazetteer of over 19,500 named & classified places. Names are spelt in the local form with a supplement layer providing alternative spellings (English conventional name, second national language or long/short form). All place names use diacritic (accented) characters where required using a standard ANSI character set (e.g. Arial, Times Roman, etc.). Global Insight Lite is an excellent choice for users requiring medium resolution political mapping with the ability to perform city level place name searches. Like the fuller gazetteer in Global Insight (>338,000 places), the alternative names data allows searches to match many places with a conventional English name or expressed using a national second language. The Global Insight Lite gazetteer is derived from the most significant cities and towns from Global Insight. Place data fields include country name and 1st level administrative region (where available) which assists when identifying an ambiguous name. Global Insight Lite is a soft product. With no paper documentation or packaging, everything is downloaded from a protected area of the Europa web site. User documentation is supplied in Adobe Acrobat format which can be printed using the Acrobat Reader software - free to download from the Adobe web site. The user manual is also fully reproduced as on-line help. Global Insight Lite is the first product in its class which offers free quarterly updates for one year. Global Insight Lite is available from many leading GIS / desktop mapping solution providers or directly from Europa Technologies.
