GLOBEXPLORER ACQUIRES CITIPIX AERIAL IMAGERY ARCHIVE
Walnut Creek, California (March 3, 2003) - GlobeXplorer, LLC announces the acquisition of Citipix aerial imagery from Eastman Kodak Company. GlobeXplorer LLC, a leading provider of satellite images and aerial photography via the Internet will provide the Citipix brand of aerial imagery products for its customers and business partners. Citipix aerials cover 65 metropolitan areas in the United States and encompass nearly 300 terabytes of data, which is three times the Library of Congress.
"Citipix is unparalleled in resolution and coverage and fits nicely with our other content partners' high-quality earth imagery," stated Paul Smith, chief operating officer for GlobeXplorer.

"GlobeXplorer's online service has been reliable and an easy way to for us to retrieve Citipix imagery."
The acquisition of Citipix imagery will allow GlobeXplorer to continue to meet customer requirements for new imagery while expanding the image library through partnerships with existing and future aerial imagery providers. The Citipix product provides six-inch resolution color aerial photography supporting mapping applications needing a high degree of spatial accuracy.
