Our company has also partnered with many of the top commercial data providers to resell satellite/aerial imagery, elevation and other remote sensing data, and navigation databases. This allows our clients to evaluate a variety of options to find what best suits their technical requirements and budget.

Recently, EVG was named a Top Ten Esri Consulting and Service Company by CIO Applications Magazine for our expertise utilizing Esri software and tools, especially as it pertains to cartographic workflows. In a recent example of such expertise, we identified a long-standing gap in Tanzania’s topographic map coverage at 1:50,000 scale. Utilizing Esri toolsets for production and combining administrative boundary data from the Tanzania Government with high-resolution imagery from Maxar, our team of cartographers was able to complete the mapping without having to set foot on the ground. The final result was 16 new topographic map sheets, filling in all gaps and completing Tanzania’s topographic map coverage at this scale for the first time in the country’s history.

Additionally, we are the exclusive provider of the award-winning LandScan Global Population Database. This database, developed and updated annually by Oak Ridge National Labs, is the world’s finest population distribution data depicting ambient population estimates over the entire world. LandScan is an ideal resource for sustainable development, risk assessment, strategic planning, humanitarian aid, telecommunications and other business applications.

East View Geospatial’s unparalleled knowledgebase of global maps and geospatial data coupled with our supply network comprised of foreign governments and commercial data and service providers worldwide, as well as our 25+ year track record of providing authoritative geospatial solutions, separates us from the rest.
