LeadDog Consulting, an international provider of street and road maps, has announced the release of detailed island-wide geographic databases for Aruba.

LeadDog maps support military, government, asset-tracking, and commercial GIS applications. Designed to deliver accurate positional data, assist organizations track their assets, and provide accurate base level mapping, LeadDog's product provides numerous vector layers and attributes such as:

"This allows our clients to immediately use data sets with a high level of confidence they will meet application requirements," says LeadDog's President, Jim Anderson. "We take the mystery out of the currentness and quality of international GIS data."

"Our Aruba data sets are comparable in quality and 'look and feel' to maps for the US and Europe," Anderson explains, "which is a big issue for our clients, who don't have the time to sort out different data formatting in every country they look at."
 
LeadDog’s products aim to allow GIS users to replicate GIS solutions efficiently and cost effectively across Aruba and other countries in Latin America.
