Release of TerraGo Publisher for GeoMedia improves geospatial collaboration for Intergraph customer

TerraGo Technologies, a leading provider of geospatial collaboration software solutions, announced today the general availability of its TerraGo Publisher for GeoMedia version 5 software. TerraGo’s Publisher solution, formerly known as MAP2PDF, gives Intergraph GeoMedia customers the capability to publish complex maps and images as highly portable and interactive GeoPDF files for easy dissemination and use by field personnel.

The new release provides the benefits of the latest generation of TerraGo software, such as automatic enabling for end users to add GeoMarks to GeoPDF files; seamless interoperability with the latest TerraGo Toolbar and Mobile solutions; improved publishing control over GeoPDF output; and expanded coordinate system support. Now, maps and imagery can be more easily published and leveraged by field personnel using the TerraGo Toolbar and Mobile applications for more effective intelligence gathering, spatial-based collaboration, and situational awareness.

“TerraGo extends the capabilities of GeoMedia by enabling GIS professionals to push robust geospatial intelligence into the field as industry-standard GeoPDF files, which can be easily accessed and do not require any advanced training,” said Vince Smith, GeoMedia desktop product manager at Intergraph. “The latest version of Publisher for GeoMedia enhances the value proposition of TerraGo software to global GeoMedia customers who are increasingly adopting GeoPDF as a standard part of their workflows.”

According to Chris Watson, VP of marketing and business development for TerraGo, “We are pleased to continue to enhance the features and capabilities of our GeoMedia solution, as TerraGo and Intergraph partner to advance the value and application of geospatial intelligence. Some of the world’s premiere geospatial organizations depend on the power of GeoMedia and the simplicity of TerraGo GeoPDF files to share mission-critical information across their enterprises.”

Key enhancements available in the new TerraGo Publisher for GeoMedia solution include:

* Geospatial collaboration capabilities: By automatically enabling GeoMarks on all exported files, Publisher for GeoMedia enables users to generate GeoPDF files that inherently support geospatial collaboration. With geo-referenced annotations, the solution gives field users the capability of capturing field information and sharing updates more effectively with their peers and GIS analysts.
* Comprehensive coordinate system support: The solution provides coordinate system support for a wider variety of global standards that are critical to customers around the world.
* TerraGo Mobile compatibility: GeoPDF files created with GeoMedia can now be configured for easy use and high performance in the TerraGo Mobile application on a handheld device.
* Enhanced control over the exported GeoPDF file: Users can select more advanced options to optimize output quality. This includes custom color mapping that is defined in the user interface to address the specific requirements of various media.
