AccuTerra on Apple App Store22/06/2009 |
| Intermap Technologies has announced the availability of two initial AccuTerra map applications, Yosemite National Park Lite and the San Francisco Bay Area, on the Apple App Store. The apps make AccuTerra available to iPhone users looking for an advanced outdoor experience in the United States. AccuTerra apps contain on-device map content for national parks, monuments, and forests, as well as state parks and many other recreation areas for the contiguous U.S. and Hawaii. |

These iPhone applications continue to extend the AccuTerra product line and begin to leverage our unique NEXTMap terrain data. Intermap is using NEXTMap data in areas of the country where they currently have coverage and will eventually upgrade the remainder of AccuTerra USA coverage with NEXTMap data.
The iPhone and AccuTerra map content allow hikers to view their topographic surroundings with a degree of detail previously unavailable, while accurately tracking their progress. AccuTerra maps reside on the iPhone so people can use them anywhere - even where there is no cellular coverage. The entire hike can then be tracked, saved, and shared immediately via email. The applications are also integrated with Google Earth to enable shared user experiences and the ability to build online communities. In addition, AccuTerra's unique ‘Walking Tour' function lets the user's replay the entire adventure for friends and family right from their iPhone.
The AccuTerra applications have a set of features designed for outdoor recreation and come bundled with detailed AccuTerra maps packaged by geographic region. AccuTerra map content contains highly detailed color topographic data, contour lines, hydrography, land-use boundaries, major points of interest, and roads and trails. AccuTerra applications provide continuous coverage of large regions via highly detailed maps - in most cases entire states - while providing the highest level of detail and accuracy available for the iPhone.
Later this summer, Intermap will be launching their new award-winning version of AccuTerra for Apple's iPhone 3.0 OS. The beta version of this new application was named winner of the Apple Design Award at WWDC09 in San Francisco (CA, USA) in the Best iPhone OS 3.0 Beta App category. AccuTerra was recognised for its design innovation and superior quality, as well as the application's high standards of user interaction and functionality that offers added value to consumers.
