In [[2002]], Intermap commenced its NEXTMap program, which is focused on collecting and processing 3D digital elevation datasets for entire countries, including the [[USA|United States]]<ref>[http://www.airphotousa.com/Aboutus/PressRelease/033010/airphoto_intermap.html "Intermap to Map Continental USA to 1-Meter Accuracy, Including Elevation; Launch of ‘NEXTMap USA’ Now" Underway.] Airphoto USA. October 29, 2003.</ref> (due for completion in 2009), countries in Western [[Europe]]<ref>[http://www.geoconnexion.com/geo_online_article/Intermap-Technologies-completes-NEXTMAP-Europe/234 Intermap Technologies Completes NEXTMap Europe] GeoConnexion International. July 25, 2008</ref> (completed in July 2008) and [[Southeast Asia]]. In contrast to historic mapping [[business model]]s in which customers pay for the completion of specific mapping projects, Intermap is self-financing the NEXTMap program. The company then sells the use of its data through [[License agreement|licensing agreements]].

==Applications==

Intermap’s NEXTMap data is used in a wide range of commercial applications, including:

* [[Geographic Information System]]s ([[GIS]])

* [[Image rectification]]

* Line-of-sight analysis

* Base mapping

* [[3D visualization]] and [[navigation]]

* [[Flight simulation]]

* [[Precision farming]] and [[forestry]]

* [[Surface analysis]]

* [[Landslide]] [[hazard analysis]]

* [[Internet mapping]]

* [[Intelligent transportation systems|Intelligent transportation systems (ITS)]]

* [[Auto safety]] / [[Advanced Driver Assistance Systems|Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)]]

==Customers==

The company has won digital mapping contracts with companies across numerous industries<ref>[http://www.geoconnexion.com/uploads/industryoutlook_ukv5i1.pdf Where Next.
