GeoStore site surveys from desktop

Infoterra Ltd, geospatial products and services provider, has launched its GeoStore service to enable property developers to carry out initial and rapid site surveys from their desks. GeoStore is Infoterras geospatial data online portal which allows consumers and business customers to browse the companys huge resource of national data for immediate delivery. GeoStore provides instant delivery of high quality, accurate aerial imagery, height data and Ordnance Survey mapping, making geospatial information even more accessible for supporting property development, environmental management, infrastructure planning and location illustration.

Height data, maps and aerial photos of any location in England can be downloaded straight to the desktop. Developers will have to enter the post code, grid reference or place name and then focus on the precise location of interest. A map, picture and height data of that exact location and of a specified size can be ordered for immediate download. This information can easily be read into a CAD or GIS system for an in-depth visualisation of development plans.

Infoterras GeoStore service gives all professionals in the property market access to GPS-accurate aerial images, allowing them to see a property in its surrounding environment. Developers can also integrate street-level based OS mapping to provide a cartographic backdrop. Digital terrain data provides ground profile information, while lidar data delivers accurate height measurement of buildings and vegetation. Infoterra is a leader in the capture of LiDAR height data, and has data on-the-shelf for over 100 British cities.

Successful property development is all about spotting good opportunities and moving quickly. GeoStore gives developers a way of understanding whats around the site, what access is available, and more. This allows them to qualify potential locations cost effectively, commented Dr Andy Wells, Director of Sales for Infoterra Ltd.
