French Digital Maps Added to NEXTMap Database

France joins Germany, Great Britain, and Luxembourg as complete European countries benefitting from Intermap's elevation models and images. Intermap now has available more than 1.2 million square kilometres of European data - representing 50% of the NEXTMap Europe initiative that already includes the above mentioned full country datasets and portions of Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, and The Netherlands.

NEXTMap datasets include digital surface models (1m or better vertical accuracy) that depict the earth's surface (including cultural features such as vegetation, buildings, and roads), digital terrain models displaying the bare earth (with all cultural features digitally removed), and orthorectified radar images corrected to remove normal geometric distortions (grayscale and color images that accentuate topographic features).

Intermap will continue adding entire country datasets to the NEXTMap Europe library until the completion of its NEXTMap Europe program.
