Intermap's 3D DEM data

Intermap Technologies announced it has delivered 100,000 square kilometers of 3D digital elevation data to the Istituto Geografico Militare Italiano (IGMI), a national institution delegated to provide the Italian government with digital cartography and integrated feature data.

This most recent delivery to the IGMI reinforces the value of Intermap’s proactive creation of elevation data across Italy under the company’s NEXTMap Europe programme. Before the completion of NEXTMap Europe, organisations were forced to settle for outdated, inaccurate, and non-uniform digital elevation data, or had to rely on expensive custom data collection efforts, to meet their needs.

The decision to acquire NEXTMap data was based on the success of the Torino 2006 IFSAR elevation mapping project. Covering 5,600 square kilometers of the Piemonte region, that project included some of northwestern.
