Description

Global Insight offers 1:1,000,000 scale digital mapping for the entire world. With coverage divided by feature over a small number of intermatching layers, it is an ideal data set for global reference mapping. The product provides up-to-date political entities, coastlines, international borders, some first level administrative borders, time zones and over 820,000 named places with urban sprawls. Names are in local and alternative forms (English conventional name, foreign language forms, second national language or long/short form). All place names use accented characters where required using a standard ANSI character set, also known as the Unicode Latin 1 code page. Other characters, such as those from Eastern Europe, Cyrillic and areas of the Far East are correctly transliterated to their romanised form.

Global Insight products are the new standard for world reference mapping and are ideal upgrades for outdated data sets derived from the Digital Chart of the World (DCW) & VMap0.

The product is an excellent choice for users performing global geocoding by place name. The alternative names layer allows an advanced geocoder to pick up many places with alternative spellings. Whether your data contains Geneva / Genève, Helsinki / Helsingfors or Köln / Cologne, Global Insight will match the name to provide superior geocoding hit rates.

The extensive place name gazetteer allows rapid location of almost any city, town or village in the entire world. Place data records include country name and 1st level administrative region (where available) which assists when identifying an ambiguous name. Population estimates can also be used to rank search results.
