Add Basemap and Demographic Data to Your Desktop GIS - ArcEurope Now ShippingAccording to Earl Nordstrand, ESRI’s data products manager, “ArcEurope offers desktop GIS users an excellent starter set for performing a broad spectrum of planning and analysis for every country in Europe.” ArcEurope Base Map is packaged with a series of basemap layers provided by AND Data B.V. These high-quality layers are ideal for cartographic presentation and basic geographic analysis. The data includes country and province boundaries, water features, urbanized areas, railroads, a connected road network, and more than 50,000 named places. The road network is a completely connected network suitable for route planning and other network applications. ArcEurope Demographics includes a set of demographic and marketing data from GfK Marktforschung GmbH. GfK Marktforschung is an international company headquartered in Germany that collects data appropriate for market research across all of Europe. The data provided includes purchasing power indexes that indicate each area’s purchasing power relative to a larger region, as well as population data by sex, age group, births, deaths, household, size of household, and stock of dwellings. The area geography used for this data is based on the boundaries included in ArcEurope Base Map and goes as far as the NUTS 3 level in many cases. (“NUTS” stands for the Eurostat Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics. It provides a uniform breakdown of territorial units for the production of regional statistics for the European Union.) The two components of ArcEurope can be acquired separately or together. To obtain ArcEurope, contact your local ESRI reseller or the ESRI office nearest you. You can also call ESRI directly at 1-800-447-9778 or visit www.esri.com/gisstore (in the United States).
