eMap International is pleased to announce a groundbreaking education and research partnership with the AmericaView (AV) program.  This collaboration together with the support of DigitalGlobe and GeoEye allows eMap to offer AV members discounted pricing and custom licensing never before offered to the academic market.  Our goal is to make it easier for AmericaView partners to acquire and share high resolution satellite imagery with research scientists and their students in the classroom in ways not possible before.

eMap’s high resolution satellite imagery offerings include data from IKONOS, QuickBird,  WorldView-1 and the acclaimed GeoEye-1 – the highest resolution commercial satellite launched to date.  Along with our ability to deliver both tasked and archived satellite imagery, we also offer near complete US aerial imagery coverage as well.

Key advantages of the AV-eMap high resolution imagery agreement include:

• Superior global archive coverage and tasking availability
  • Offering products from both DigitalGlobe and GeoEye, the AV-eMap agreement gives you maximum flexibility when it comes to archive coverage, product options, and access to new satellite collections.  eMap imagery sources currently include: IKONOS, QuickBird, WorldView-1 and DigitalGlobe aerial imagery.  GeoEye-1 and WorldView-2 imagery will also be included as these satellites become operational.

• Special academic pricing and additional tiered AV discounts offered nowhere else
  • By purchasing imagery through the AV-eMap agreement, AV partners will receive exclusive discounts on top of the academic archive pricing already offered by DigitalGlobe and GeoEye.  In addition, the agreement has guaranteed additional percentage discount-tiers built in.  As the total volume of AV sales increases during the year, so do your savings.

• Ability to leverage the AV-eMap agreement to share the cost of imagery
  • Recognizing the economic challenges we all face, the AV-eMap agreement allows you to share the cost of the imagery you purchase with all the members of your research team, not just other AV members.  These members can be other academics not involved in the AV program, non-profits, government organizations and commercial entities.

• Flexible data licensing allowing you to share the use of imagery
  • Both DigitalGlobe and GeoEye have adjusted their typical academic licensing agreements, allowing you to share your high resolution imagery with multiple end-users at no additional cost.  As an added incentive, all imagery purchased under the AV-eMap agreement can be stored and shared with partners for teaching and research purposes.   The data provide under this agreement must be purchased by the academic partner and used for educational and research purposes only.  AV commercial partners may use data under this agreement, as long as the data is not used in a profit-generating capacity.

• Unrivaled customer service and product knowledge
  • eMap International is your point of contact for a wide variety of high resolution imagery products under this agreement.  We provide fast, professional and knowledgeable customer service.  The eMap Sales Team offers pre-sale purchasing advice, accurate archive searches and reliable customer support throughout your purchase.  After you receive your imagery, eMap continues to provide technical advice allowing you to get the most value from your geospatial data.  As the only US reseller with a strong focus on the academic market, eMap International will provide you with the best product and service needed to reach your academic goals.
