All cartographic series of the Cartographic Institute of Catalonia will soon be able in MiraMon format.
Thanks to the agreement signed in January 2006 between the Cartographic
Institute of Catalonia (ICC) and CREAF all official cartography of Catalonia produced by ICC (1:50000 and
1:5000 topographic maps, 1:25000 and 1:5000 ortophotos, etc) will be
available in 2006 in MiraMon format. Users will be able to choose
between buying it in ICC shops in CD/DVD support or to freely download them
on the Internet.
CREAF acknowledges the historical importance of this agreement for the
MiraMon project since it will allow to have the cartography for the whole
country freely available to all citizens of Catalonia in MiraMon format
(free MiraMon Map Reader and MiraMon Professional). This will not only
avoid to carry out tedious import processes but,
specially, it will guarantee access to an excellent product in an optimal
format for performing GIS operations with MiraMon.
