Mapping has become part of the everyday life of individual consumers and companies alike. Today Newscape consult websites to calculate an itinerary or print a map, to “virtually” visit an area using services such as Google Earth or Geoportail, to program our on-board navigation systems to take us to a destination, and the list goes on. These uses, available to the general public, also influence the way users access and manipulate mapping data.

Today, it is no longer simply a question of making maps available, but also of being able to access at any time, from anywhere whatever the terminal (computer, information station, mobile PDA, etc.) or Network.

The key questions for geomatics concern : How best to store, manage, and render accessible these data with the most useful content and how to propose new services?

The technology developed by Newscape provides the most efficient response to these questions: unique, patented, and recognised by numerous international industry actors, it enables the implementation of mobile interactive applications relying on large volumes of data, while rendering their manipulation surprisingly fluid (view the demonstrations).
