Markham, ON - November 18, 2002 - DMTI Spatial, Canada’s leading mapping data, address management and geospatial services provider, announces the highly anticipated release of their National Parks and Municipal Amalgamation files as part of their version 6.3 release of CanMap® street map and routing data product line.

CanMap V6.3 is the latest in a series of quarterly updates of DMTI Spatial’s CanMap product line, providing consistent quarterly improvements across Canada, such as impressive street naming for 99% of the population, addressing for 88% of the population, and 1.5 million kilometers of contiguous routing from door-to-door, coast- to-coast, across Canada.

DMTI Spatial continues to hold the line on prices while increasing the depth of its CanMap Streetfiles and CanMap RouteLogistics mapping data with the addition of their National Parks layer, a file of 1,254 national, marine, provincial and territorial parks. This point and polygon data set is ideal for consumer navigation and recreational GPS products, travel and tourism Web services, infrastructure planning and analysis applications, wildlife and environmental risk studies, and more.

“Today’s map data users know exactly what they want. Our customer survey showed that depth of experience, coverage, detail, accuracy and value are key in the decision making process. I am proud to say that DMTI Spatial consistently ranks highly on all of these criteria and with the release of CanMap V6.3 - the tradition continues,” said John Fisher, President and CEO of DMTI Spatial.

DMTI Spatial has also integrated their newly created Municipal Amalgamation File (MAF) into their CanMap product line, another significant enhancement without an associated price increase. The MAF reflects recent changes to amalgamated municipal boundaries and subsequent changes to their name, type and code. The Municipal Amalgamation File is ideal for analysis that is dependant upon up-to-date and accurate amalgamated boundaries.

Other market leading products and services that coincide with this release include: CanMap Parks V1.0, Municipal Amalgamation File (MAF) V1.0, Enhanced Points of Interest (EPOI) V1.4, GeoPinpoint™ V3.4, Six Digit and Enhanced Postal Code Files V6.3 and the Address Management Solution (AMS).
