Beuth Hochschule fuer Technik Berlin (University of Applied Sciences) chooses Avenza’s MAPublisher and Geographic Imager
Toronto, ON, August 4, 2009 – Avenza Systems Inc., producers of MAPublisher cartographic software for Adobe Illustrator and Geographic Imager spatial tools for Adobe Photoshop, is pleased to announce that the Civil Engineering and Geoinformation department at Beuth University of Berlin (Beuth Hochschule für Technik Berlin), formerly Technische Fachhochschule in Berlin Germany has deployed multiple licenses of both MAPublisher and Geographic software for use in their cartography and GIS labs.
“We are using both programs (MAPublisher & Geographic Imager) in the Bachelor degree courses for Cartography and Geomedia and in the Master degree course Acquisition and Visualization of Geodata. Both programs provide very valuable functions within the intersecting area of GIS, remote sensing and cartography”, said Dr. Ursula Ripke of the university’s cartographic laboratory. “We have found that both programs are essential for our work especially for satellite image based cartography”, she added.
Avenza’s products will be primarily used in the software lab by staff and students towards their degrees as well as in faculty-student collaborative research projects.
