Bluesky and Getmapping Embrace XMAP for UK Government

Bluesky and Getmapping signed an agreement with on-line mapping specialist GeoXphere to encourage the wider use of Aerial Photography for Great Britain (APGB) within the public sector. Bluesky and Getmapping are offering the latest and most detailed aerial photography available, free at the point of use, to more than 4,500 government organisations. GeoXphere developed XMAP, a cloud-based, entry-level GIS, to provide widespread desktop access to a range of mapping resources such as APGB data. In use across local government, XMAP allows users of all technical abilities to access, analyse and share data for a variety of applications. A cloud-based, entry-level solution, XMAP provides desktop access to resources, via the cloud, reducing the need to download and store large volumes of data.www.getmapping.com www.bluesky-world.com
