GeoMedia Advantage
GeoMedia Advantage
®
builds upon GeoMedia Essentials. It adds efficient data capture and editing tools for
the creation and management of geospatial databases and expands the analytical capabilities by including
raster data analysis to complement the vector feature analysis of GeoMedia Essentials. Users can perform line
of sight and hot spot analysis along with site location and corridor planning. GeoMedia Advantage also
provides the ability to generate terrain artifacts such as contours, shaded relief, and color-coded elevations for
the creation of mapping products. Geometry validation tools are also included.

GeoMedia Professional
GeoMedia
®
Professional builds upon GeoMedia Advantage. It adds additional feature capture and editing tools
that are coupled with an extensive set of quality assurance capabilities for the effective creation and
management of enterprise databases. GeoMedia Professional provides medium to large organizations the
ability to control data access across all users using optimistic transactions, while maintaining the integrity of the
enterprise data given the organization’s business rules. Version- and time-based analysis are possible with
GeoMedia Professional. Finally, users can easily create and manage linear networks and validate the linear
network connectivity as necessary.
