Vertical GeoSolutions

I came across an excellent article written by Ray Caputo from the Army Geospatial Center (AGC) that discusses their different products delivered using TerraGo’s GeoPDF software.  We have been using the GeoPDF format for a couple of years here at VerticalGeo, but the AGC and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) both have extensive GeoPDF libraries (AGC Library) (many of which you must have a government Common Access Card to get to) are also producing several useful products using GeoPDF technology.  USGS has recently started converting all of their topo charts over to GeoPDF products, which creates an easy to access product that anyone can download and use with their own computer.  The USGS Store is a great resource for GeoPDF Topo Charts.  Read Ray Caputo’s article is  located here.   AGC Article .

Dr. Rick Marshall of VerticalGeo attended the ILGISA (www.ilgisa.org) Spring Conference at the University of Illinois, April 15. Rick presented “ArcGIS Server and GeoPDF Solutions for Remote Airfield Visualization” during the GIS Tools breakout track. Rick also moderated the three sessions during the Historical Perspective track. The ILGISA Conference is a two day event held each Spring and Fall where GIS professionals gather and share best practices and lessons learned to others in the GIS community.  The Fall Conference will be held October 20-21, 2010 at  Northern Illinois University, Naperville.
