Greetings from Seattle! This week, I accompanied our client TerraGo Technologies to Seattle for GITA's (Geospatial Information & Technology Association) Geospatial Infrastructure Solutions Conference to support the launch of its Map2PDF Professional for Acrobat product. An ideal GIS mapping solution for emergency responders and state/local government divisions such as tax assessment, public utilities and departments of transportation, the solution creates indexed mapbooks in easy-to-use Adobe formats called GeoPDFs. Thanks to our friend Joe Francica at Directions Magazine for providing his take on the announcement today.

After a grueling day of product demos and media interviews (Jaymes Pardue from the sales team told me he’s never given so many demos in one day!), the TerraGo team celebrated the product launch with more than 60 customers and partners at Seattle's infamous Space Needle. What a nice touch when I happened to witness a romantic fellow pop the question to an unsuspecting lady on the Space Needle observation deck at sunset. She said yes. :)
