PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Beuth Hochschule fuer Technik Berlin (University of

“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. All users will be able to take
advantage of the graphics capabilities of MAPublisher, Geographic
Imager and Adobe Creative Suite to produce high-quality maps and work
with spatial imagery.
