BeyondGeo Users Can Now Directly Import and Work with
MrSID Imagery Files for Easy Web Publishing
GARDINER, Maine, Aug 7, 2001-Blue Marble Geographics announced today that
LizardTech's industry-leading MrSIDŽ file format is supported within
BeyondGeo's Internet mapping service, providing native support for reading
geo-referenced MrSID imagery.
BeyondGeo allows users to easily publish an interactive map on the Internet
using a hosted solution and save thousands of dollars over traditional map
server solutions. With BeyondGeo, MrSID image files can now be imported and
published onto the Web with a complete set of interactive tools. MrSID, the
image format standard for geospatial professionals, reduces high-resolution
images to less than five percent of their original file size while
maintaining original image quality.
"Blue Marble Geographics through its Beyond Geo map server service is
pioneering the next generation of Internet mapping solutions," said John
Grizz Deal, LizardTech founder and vice chairman. "Integrating MrSID into
BeyondGeo allows for high-quality image files to be published easily onto the
Web, while preserving image quality and increasing viewing speed for
location-based applications."
"BeyondGeo enables users to take traditional data and maps, and publish them
directly onto their Web site. This solution allows you to avoid the
complexity and costs of implementing a traditional map server, you can take
most any format file directly from your desktop mapping software and quickly
publish a database driven map on the Internet, loaded with interactive
features." said Jeff Cole, Blue Marble President and Founder. "This is the
future of Internet mapping solutions".
