(PRWEB) October 2, 2004 -- Spatial Insights, Inc. is pleased to announce the release of nationwide GIS-ready elevation data, pre-assembled by county or MSA. The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data are sourced from the 30-meter resolution USGS NED data. Spatial Insights offers expedited delivery of the data via ftp download in one business day or less. Coverage of custom client-specified boundaries or of other standard geographies is available upon request.

We recognize the need of our customers to get this data quickly and to be able to use it easily," said Don Segal, President of Spatial Insights. Weve taken the pain and suffering out of working with elevation data, which originally came packaged by USGS quadrangle, and required substantial processing and manipulation. By preprocessing the data to form seamless coverage of counties and MSAs, were able to deliver the data in geographies that make sense to our customers and greatly reduced the time and effort required to leverage this information."

The elevation data are directly compatable with ArcViewTM or MapInfo ProfessionalTM and are available in industry standard formats of USGS .DEM and Vertical MapperTM .GRD.
