Company: Global Map Systems Industry: Military/Defense Location: Atlanta, GA, United States of America GLOBAL MAP SYSTEMS SUPPORTS THE US MILITARY WITH FREE MAP PUBLISHING SOLUTION In December, Military Map-makers Receive LOGIQ PDF Software for Free ATLANTA, GA. – December 1, 2008 - Global Map Systems, Inc. (GMS) today announced it will provide LOGIQ PDF software, for free, to American military map-makers through the end of 2008. This offer is also extended to other security and intelligence organizations supporting our troops. LOGIQ PDF is the most advanced map publishing solution available on the market for publishing ESRI ArcMap information to PDF maps that allow for advanced spatial analysis and reporting. These digital maps allow for identifying, querying, and analyzing location and database information in the field in near real-time. Now, soldiers can easily query and analyze sensitive GIS and mapping information. “With LOGIQ PDF, soldiers and teams won't have to rely solely on a briefing by a Topo Analyst on the area, but can use that information along with this software to better educate themselves about the area of their mission,” said Craig Kemper, former US Army SPC. With the Global Map Systems product, soldiers and NCO’s can use the "Search" tool to get a clear understanding of what kind of concealment is in the area of operations. The "Identify" tool provides detailed information on any object that is in the teams line of sight. And the "Statistics" tool gives the team a more detailed understanding of the areas and distances that will be covered when maneuvering off road. “This technology would have been incredibly useful for me while I was working for Blackwater USA in Baghdad”, said ‘Deacon’. “Route planning and threat assessment are integral to keeping yourself and your principal alive in a potentially lethal situation. The ability to instantly see potential escape and evasion routes with information that is as current as your daily intel can be a lifesaver.” LOGIQ PDF normally retails for $399. This fee will be waived to military map-makers that request the LOGIQ PDF GeoDataEmbed software for the rest of this year only.
