LONGMONT, Colo., July 31 -- DigitalGlobe (http://www.digitalglobe.com/), a leading provider of high resolution satellite world imagery products and services, today unveiled ImageAtlas 4.0, the newest version of its online store for high-resolution digital earth imagery. ImageAtlas 4.0 enables companies in real estate, civil engineering, government, insurance, GIS and public safety to easily and affordably access on-demand satellite and aerial images of specific locations, properties and neighborhoods. The principal new feature of ImageAtlas 4.0 is the inclusion of georeferencing files with all downloaded images that allow easy integration into other mapping applications such as GIS programs and Google Earth(TM).
ImageAtlas coverage includes the most populous areas of the world including in-depth coverage of 300 metropolitan cities across 127 countries.
"ImageAtlas 4.0 is the latest example of how DigitalGlobe is meeting the increased demand for downloadable aerial and satellite images fueled by the growth of online portals, mapping programs and consumer navigation applications," said Marc Tremblay, senior vice president and general manager for DigitalGlobe's commercial business unit.
