Description

Global Discovery is the most extensive global vector map available from Europa Technologies. In addition to the rich map layers from Global Insight Plus, Global Discovery features elevation data to form the most detailed seamless world map data set available.

Global Discovery features vector reference mapping at 1:1,000,000 scale for the entire world. Coverage is provided by a manageable set of layers including 850,000 named places, points of interest, up-to-date political maps (1:1m & 1:3m scale), coastlines, international borders, some first and second level administrative borders, time zones, roads, railways, drainage features (rivers and lakes), national parks, airports (including IATA code) and ports (including UN/LOCODE). The elevation layers include two minute raster data for abstract views and features coloured imagery for both land elevations and sea bathymetry. Thirty second raster provides higher resolution mapping for land areas. Additional vector map layers include land contours and a mountain gazetteer.

Data Formats

Global Discovery is available in the following data formats:

• ESRI Shapefile
• MapInfo TAB
• MapInfo MIF/MID

Important note for ESRI users: The TIFF raster images in Global Discovery use a special compression method known as LZW. In order to support this method, ArcView 3.x users require an extra DLL file called AVOPT.DLL and ArcGIS v8.x to v9.0 users require the TIFF/LZW extension. Since the Unisys patent on LZW has now expired worldwide, these extensions are freely available from ESRI. ArcGIS v9.1 and above need no additional support.

Other major data formats can be supported by special arrangement.

Media

Global Discovery is supplied on DVD.
