Press Release:
+++ MXD2map is released in version 1.0 +++
Osnabrück, Hamburg, 2011-11-07
MXD2map is a free converter for the generation of UMN MapServer-compatible Map
files from ESRI ArcGIS MXD files. This program offers the possibility making
the map design as usual in the ArcGIS Desktop GIS. A configuration file for
UMN MapServer can be generated at the touch of a button. UMN MapServer
provides the MXD project as an OGC-compliant WMS or WFS service. This
provides a simple yet cost-effective way to publish existing spatial data
including design requirements as WMS / WFS service.
"The realization of such a tool helps us tremendously in creation of
OGC-compliant WMS services based on UMN MapServer. The usual work on the
desktop with ArcGIS remains unaffected and the benefits of the fast UMN
MapServer can be used easily for intranet/internet representation.", explains
Jörg Gerdes, Head of IT of the German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic
Agency (BSH) in Hamburg/Germany. The BSH has been ordered the initial
development of MXD2map from Intevation GmbH.
The BSH is an agency within the German Federal Ministry for Transport,
Building and Urban Affairs with offices in Hamburg and Rostock. The BSH is an
important maritime service provider of the federal government and provides
the maritime geodata center for digital and analog (sea) map products.
