DMTI Releases Free Downloadable Canadian Time Zone Boundaries
TORONTO, February 22, 2000 – Desktop Mapping Technologies Inc. (DMTI), Canada’s premier
publisher of precision built street map data, innovative geocoding technology, and geospatial data, is
pleased to announce the release of Canadian Time Zone Boundaries in electronic format.
DMTI provided today a map of Canadian Time Zone Boundaries downloadable from their web site
free of charge.
The Time Zone Boundaries are representational following the legislated time zone boundaries for
Canada. Unlike DMTI’s CanMap® Streetfiles product the Time Zone map provides varying accuracy
levels and is not intended as an authoritative map in all circumstances. A more refined product is
available for purchase.
The map is currently published in MapInfo .mid/mif format, and ESRI .shp and .E00. These files are
available for download in the free section of the DMTI web site.
“We are excited to be able to offer Time Zone Boundaries to our customers, they are especially useful
when applied to centralized call centre applications, as they allow the call operator to quickly ascertain
the customer’s local time and provide solutions appropriate for the time of day. It’s nice to give
something back to the GIS community.” said John Fisher, DMTI’s President and CEO.
Time Zone Boundaries will also be included at no additional charge in the upcoming release of Version
3 of DMTI’s flagship product CanMap® Streetfiles. CanMap Streetfiles represents the world’s #1
