"The seminar illustrates the requirements for successful mapping and provides great analogies and examples of where the mapping industry is today and in what direction it is headed," said Kevin Tierney, supervisor of core mapping for the City of Toronto. "These seminars are ideal for serious mapping professionals who are evaluating geospatial Geospatial is a term widely used to describe the combination of spatial software and analytical methods with terrestrial or geographic datasets. The term is often used in conjunction with geographic information systems and geomatics. and mapping solutions." Extreme Mapping topics span imaging, document conversion, and production mapping, all working together in a spatially enabled managed environment. Products that are covered during the seminars include Bentley(R) GeoGraphics(TM), the premier environment for data collection, editing and analysis tools; Bentley(R) Descartes(TM) for image mapping, visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all , and raster-to-vector conversion; and Bentley(R) PowerMap(TM), a low-cost, 2D geometry creation and editing environment that allows users to easily create highly accurate, large-scale maps A map having a scale of 1:75,000 or larger.
