Terralink and Multimap sign New Zealand joint venture27 September 2004Multimap, one of the world’s leading online mapping providers, today announced a joint venture agreement with land information, mapping and data integration company, Terralink International Ltd, (Terralink) to provide internet and location-based mapping services in New Zealand. Multimap.com delivers more online maps, point-to-point driving directions and geospatial (“where’s my nearest?”) searches to more companies than any other supplier in Europe, and it now plans to replicate its European success in Australasia. Key to its strategy is the provision of high-quality, comprehensive, street-level mapping. Terralink, provider of LandBase, New Zealand’s leading geographic information database, was the clear mapping partner of choice. Multimap joins a portfolio of high-visibility Terralink clients; LandBase is used by many of New Zealand’s transport, emergency services, telecommunications, utilities organizations, and many of its tourism and publishing companies. Terralink’s Chief Executive, Mike Donald, says: “The joint venture follows Terralink’s strategy of providing comprehensive, complete and accurate spatial data when, where and how customers want it. It goes someway to completing Terralink’s product suite matching best of breed data with best of breed technology.” “The quality of our technology plus our proven experience in the location-based services space, combined with Terralink’s best-of-breed mapping data, will offer consumers and businesses across New Zealand a robust information and marketing tool, says Multimap Australasia’s Managing Director, Chris Warrick. Consumers benefit immensely from the high-quality maps offered on www.multimap.com free of charge, while businesses of all sizes can now offer their customers a ‘Where’s-my-nearest’ search function, making it easy and quick for them to locate their nearest physical store or dealership. Terralink is New Zealand’s premier provider of mapping data, and we are delighted to be working with the team there to deliver an excellent service to all our customers in New Zealand,” Terralink’s Product Manager, Julian Grainger, says, “Multimap maps the world so we can now deliver location mapping on the Internet more relevant to our export-driven nation. New Zealand brands can have a dealer locator on their website in days for their US, European, Australian and New Zealand customers in the languages of their choice.” To find out more about Multimap go to www.multimap.net.nz.
