October 20, 2009 -- Littleton, Colorado-based TerraMetrics, Inc., a leading developer of high-precision terrain-rendering technologies and global satellite imagery for aviation, simulation and geospatial markets, announced today that the company’s TruEarth 15-meter global satellite imagery is now available online through the MapMart.com website. The advanced web portal allows customers to browse satellite imagery, elevation data, aerial photography, street maps and other geospatial data products from various sources and preview selections before purchase.
MapMart, a division of IntraSearch, Inc., will carry the full TruEarth 15-meter global satellite imagery product line including TruEarth Standard and TruEarth Professional, two new imagery products in ECW and jpeg2000 formats that are tuned for applications requiring smaller dataset sizes. TruEarth imagery provides the best-available global-coverage data at 15-meter resolution and is processed using proprietary techniques to achieve its distinct natural-color balance.
“Our partnership with TerraMetrics gives our customers access to 15-meter global satellite imagery that has exceptional visual appeal and reflects our ongoing commitment to deliver affordable, high-quality data and imagery,” said Michael Platt, MapMart president. “TruEarth imagery offers a choice of dataset sizes and formats that allows our customers to use the 15-meter imagery in a variety of applications.”
