"An accurate foundation is essential for spatial analysis (Data West Research Agency definition: see GIS glossary.) Analytical techniques to determine the spatial distribution of a variable, the relationship between the spatial distribution of variables, and the association of the variables of an area. , the pivotal aspect in solving the many needs our customers have day-in and day-out. This layer provides the "canvas" on which other types of data can be painted; such as imagery, addresses, attributes, networks, other topologies, survey measurements, and geospatial relationships. Intermap's worldwide database of highly reliable geospatial data, combined with ESRI software and applications, will be an outstanding value for every customer."
