Geographic information affects almost
every aspect of business decision-making, from property planning and
insurance through to environmental assessment. Infoterra has developed
GeoStore.com to provide a flexible online service for businesses to
access geographic data. The first phase sees the availability of aerial

As there are many uses for geographic data
GeoStore.com offers three online services. Each service offers the
ability to view and purchase the latest aerial imagery, and is the only
on-line system of its kind to provide images that have not been
compressed in storage, therefore delivering higher quality images to
the user. GeoStore.com offers a unique service by providing a truly
seamless shopping experience: the ability to choose the exact area of
an image required and receive a quote online, as well as the ability to
transfer this data directly to a GIS application.
