Description

Global Insight offers 1:1,000,000 scale digital mapping for the entire world. With coverage divided by feature over a small number of intermatching layers, it is an ideal data set for global reference mapping. The product provides up-to-date political entities, coastlines, international borders, some first level administrative borders, time zones and over 820,000 named places with urban sprawls. Names are spelt in the local form with a supplement layer providing alternative spellings (English conventional name, foreign language forms, second national language or long/short form). All place names use diacritic (accented) characters where required using a standard ANSI character set (e.g. Arial, Times Roman, etc.) also known as the Unicode "Latin1" code page.

Global Insight products form the new standard for world reference mapping and are ideal upgrades for outdated data sets derived from the Digital Chart of the World (DCW) & VMap0 (e.g. ADC WorldMap®, WorldInfo®) .

Global Insight is an excellent choice for users performing geocoding by place name. The alternative names layer allows an advanced geocoder to pick up many places with a conventional English name or spelt using a national second language. Whether your data contains Geneva / Genève, Helsinki / Helsingfors or Köln / Cologne, Global Insight will match the name to provide superior geocoding hit rates.

The extensive place name gazetteer allows rapid location of almost any city, town or village in the entire world. Place data records include country name and 1st level administrative region (where available) which assists when identifying an ambiguous name. Population estimates can also be used to rank search results.
