Intermap claims that the agreement also sets the stage for the future development of applications to serve a multitude of business and consumer needs around the world. "These applications would have otherwise been unachievable prior to Intermap's creation of these 3D data sets," it says. Intermap says it is now "aggressively mapping Europe...The collection of the entire country of Germany is now complete and the remainder of Western Europe is scheduled for completion by the end of 2007." The continental US is being mapped concurrently with the European initiative and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2008."{moscomment} |
