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 choice for Canadian street map data. CanMap enables you to carry out a range of sophisticated business geographic applications that require positional accuracy, detail, nationwide coverage, and presentation quality cartographics.

Updated annually and built to rigorous cartographic standards, CanMap is shipped in plug and play format in the worlds leading GIS software formats such as MapInfo and ESRI. CanMap Streetfiles enables users to locate their data or resources with accuracy, display and analyze their data on a nationwide standard and enhance their application with realism.

CanMap Streetfiles is available Nationwide in unprojected latitude and longitude with the NAD83 datum.

For those concerned with staying current with their data, DMTI has a Maintenance Program available for CanMap Streetfiles, which allows clients to subscribe in 1, 2, or 3 year contracts. This convenient program allows clients to stay current with their data, which lets them focus on their work, knowing that they’ll be using the most up-to-date geospatial data. As a program member, clients will automatically receive all updates within 30 days of a release date, allowing them to load the data immediately or whenever it fits into their project schedule.

DMTI is Canada’s premier publisher of precision built street map data (CanMap®), and innovative geocoding software (GeoPinpoint™). In addition, DMTI publishes a comprehensive portfolio of census data and boundaries, postal geography, topographic maps, US maps and data, marketing databases and a wide range of GIS services.

Established in 1994, DMTI’s clients are represented from a wide range of industries including telecommunications, utilities, high technology, banking, insurance, transportation, real estate, retail, manufacturing, and government.
