URL(s): www.dmtispatial.com
MARKHAM, ON, September 7, 2001 - DMTI Spatial, North America's leading spatial solutions provider, launches Canada's first nationwide business and recreational points of interest (POI) data product. This highly anticipated product focuses on accurate positional coordinates and rich attribute information for next generation wireless location-based services (LBS) and business geographic applications, helping CanMap® clients leap ahead of their competition.
Led by Japan and Europe, the North American telecommunications and telematics OEM industries are rapidly developing the next generation of wireless location-based technology for location hungry users. DMTI Spatial's Enhanced Point Of Interest database empowers developers to provide more content-rich point of interest data to better service the consumer and business marketplace within Canada.
This unique, spatially-enhanced data product provides a comprehensive database of over 1 million business and recreational POI's. Engineered using DMTI Spatial's flagship CanMap® Streetfiles, each POI has been accurately geocoded to the street address for precision based location and analysis. This data set fully integrates across the CanMap® suite of mapping data products.
The DMTI Spatial attribute-rich Enhanced Points of Interest product contains coordinate location, business name, address, telephone number and standard industry classification code (SIC). This valuable data set enhances GIS and LBS B2B and B2C applications by helping users make informed decisions.
"LBS has swept the wireless telecom and web industry off its feet, offering incredible exposure and revenue opportunities for both traditional GIS and new technology organizations," said John Fisher, President and CEO of DMTI Spatial. "LBS offers content-rich maps, driving directions and proximity searching. Key components to support this level of functionality include a complete, navigable street database, robust geocoding software, and a rich set of business and consumer points of interest. DMTI Spatial now has a complete product offering to support wireless and web-based LBS applications nationwide."
In addition to the LBS industry, this innovative data product is ideal for GIS and business geographic applications such as: real estate MLS, retail site analysis, competitive and market research, intelligent routing, sales territory analysis, and planning.
