COSTA MESA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 3, 2007 -- Digital Map Products today launched
ParcelStream, a product that lets web developers use current and accurate
property lines for display in any web-based digital mapping application.
"As more companies develop web sites and applications that take advantage
of the latest sophisticated map-based information such as satellite
imagery, the demand for accurate property line information is going to
grow," said Digital Map President Jim Skurzynski. "ParcelStream makes that
information available on a broad scale, faster and cheaper than ever
before."
Fidelity National Real Estate Solutions already uses ParcelStream to show
property line information on its new fast growing CyberHomes site
(www.cyberhomes.com), which provides consumers and real estate
professionals with valuation data on residential properties. On the
CyberHomes web site, accurate property lines provided by ParcelStream are
integral to the visual representation of property valuation. "ParcelStream
was the fastest way to get parcel lines into CyberHomes. It provided the
best geographic coverage available and was very easy to integrate with our
application," said Marty Frame, Chief Information Officer for Fidelity.
"Traditionally, each enterprise interested in integrating property line
information into their specific web application would have to approach
individual county agencies for their parcel line records," Skurzynski said.
"Many times those records come in different formats and require a variety
of collection and licensing techniques. It can take teams of people and
hundreds of thousands of dollars to research, collect, aggregate, normalize
and manage that information. Additionally, the information changes daily
and needs to be kept current in order to truly be of value. With
ParcelStream, we do all the legwork."
Digital Map maintains an easily accessible repository of property lines for
60 million properties in major metropolitan areas. Expansion plans for 2007
include most of the remaining populated areas of the United States.
Digital Map Products applications have had a long-standing reputation for
bringing sophisticated spatial technology to a large-scale audience via the
Internet. "We are far more efficient by being able to relate how a property
looks by matching aerial photography to the actual information on the lot.
That has been very important for our decision making process," said Victor
Velez Assistant Branch Chief for the California Department of Food and
Agriculture another recent client of Digital Map Products.
