Who We Are and What We Do • Our mission is to improve the productivity and effectiveness of
non-GIS users who depend on geospatial information. • Our products convert large, complex data sets to small, easy-to-
use geo-spatial PDFs which can be viewed with the free Adobe Reader and the free TerraGo Toolbar.
• Our customers are soldiers, intelligence officers, first responders,
utility workers, foresters and other non-GIS professionals who need geo-spatial information to do their jobs.
