DENVER, (March 28, 2001) - Intermap Technologies through its GLOBAL Terrain
data store, announced today that National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA)
has purchased additional GLOBAL Terrain licenses for STAR-3i data recently
collected in South America. This purchase was made through Intermap’s GLOBAL
Terrain distributor EarthWatch Incorporated of Longmont, Colorado. The
license extension valued at US $1.2 million before EarthWatch distributor
costs, will allow NIMA to extend the distribution of the data from a ‘single
user' license to additional tiers of users. The data licenses include
STAR-3i IFSAR radar imagery and topographic elevation data.
“Data licensing is a cost effective way for both the private and public
sectors to acquire the data they need while allowing data suppliers to
spread costs over several license sales” said Mr. Ron Birk, Vice President
GLOBAL Terrain. “License extensions allow provide an effective means of
allowing for greater distribution of data purchased at a greatly reduced
cost from the original license fee.”
Intermap Technologies is building a global database of digital elevation
models (DEMs). Intermap digital maps are used in a wide range of
applications including planning and engineering projects, in navigation
systems, and to enrich satellite images. Working for private industry and
governments worldwide, Intermap’s STAR-3i IFSAR radar system maps large
areas accurately and quickly, and can acquire data in overcast and dark
conditions. Intermap generates maps, DEMs and orthorectified images in
highly automated production facilities. Map products are available at the
Company’s GLOBAL Terrain (www.globalterrain.com) e-commerce Internet site.
Intermap’s main office is located in Denver, Colorado, and has Canadian
