Global Geomatics supplies technology to the first instantaneous supplier of digital earth imagery to e-Businesses over the Internet

Montreal (Quebec), Canada - October 5th, 2000  - Today Global Geomatics Inc. highlights the launch of the Web site www.globexplorer.com. This Web site is definitely the best showcase ever developed for understanding the capabilities of Global Geomatics' technology. Global Geomatics' Open Geographic Data Interface (OGDI) technology supports rapid visualization and access to a multitude of heterogeneous geodata and image formats. 
Thanks to Global Geomatics' technology, huge quantities (terabytes) of geographic information are now available, in a matter of seconds.  The web site can deliver millions of images per day. Drawing from the world's largest commercial archive of aircraft and satellite images, GlobeXplorer supplies multi-source, multi-format online earth imagery at its Web site. The proprietary technology that makes this possible is the result of collaboration between GlobeXplorer and several other key Information Technology industry players such as Sun Microsystems Inc. The formidable technological challenge of efficiently delivering complex, rich media 24 hours a day over the Internet has been made possible with the OGDI technology.
Global Geomatics' OGDI is the only truly open-architecture, multi-platform mapping software that provides Web-enabled, transparent, "on-the-fly" access to geospatial databases. As a result, this technology allows heterogeneous, multi-source geodata to be superimposed onto a single image frame for visualization and manipulation. The GlobeXplorer Web site clearly demonstrates that Global Geomatics' OGDI is the best choice for Web-enabled, geodata distribution technology to answer the increasing market demand for geographic imagery.
