Walnut
Creek, CA (June 22, 2006) - GlobeXplorer announced the
successful loading of its 200th DigitalGlobe CitySphere market
to its suite of online data services for mapping/GIS users and
Web developers.
Dated from 2002 to 2006, the CitySphere collection includes high-resolution satellite imagery of 200 of the largest cities across the globe, including the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
DigitalGlobe’s
CitySphere collection features orthorectified 2-foot resolution
color imagery. The resolution and industry-leading accuracy
of CitySphere make it ideal for use as a basemap in Web mapping,
GIS, and other applications.
The Big Picture
GlobeXplorer provides the largest independent source of earth imagery from the other top private providers of aerial and satellite imagery from all over the world. “This is another example of GlobeXplorer’s leading online earth imagery selection,” said Shanks. “No one rivals the coverage and currency of our high-resolution imagery, and we strive to make updates of every major urban area available to all our customers, every month of every year, both in North America and around the globe.”
“We
are thrilled that GlobeXplorer has loaded our 200 CitySphere products
into their database and we are continually impressed by the wide
array of customers and partners interested in CitySphere,”
said Michael McCarthy, Senior Director of Business Development
at DigitalGlobe. “GlobeXplorer is a fantastic mechanism
for end-users to have access to CitySphere.”
