Under the agreement, MetaCarta geosearch systems will be integrated into EarthSpector, a web-based geographic information system visualization and analysis tool.

The pairing of these tools will combine flexible and fast-paced mapping from the EarthSpector server and 2D client, and the thoroughness of MetaCarta’s Geographic Search and Referencing Platform (GSRP). As the MetaCarta platform processes geocoding requests, EarthSpector server prepares the information for visualization via EarthSpector 2D, which runs in any web browser. Map data is locally stored on the user’s computer for a faster mapping experience, said MetaCarta.

Exceptional software provides services, products and contract vehicles needed to achieve IT goals.They cover planning, management, implementation, training and support of a project’s life cycle.Their products help to integrate and exploit media and video elements.

Ray Bowen, president of Exceptional Software Strategies, said: Exceptional Software is excited to partner with MetaCarta to provide advanced geographic visualization solutions. We have combined the strengths of MetaCarta’s GSRP with the power of EarthSpector’s web-based geo-visualization to produce an integrated GIS solution for analysts. Together, we have taken GIS visualization to the next level.
