Intermap's 3D digital terrain model data will serve as the base layer for the placement and alignment of aerial photography and other geospatial layers. According to Intermap, "Images are draped over Intermap's three-dimensional foundation to create a unique and accurate user viewing experience.
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.

The continental US is being mapped concurrently with the European initiative and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2008."
