Simplify Everyday Workflows with Ready-to-Use Imagery, Maps and Data
Bing Maps for ERDAS IMAGINE® 2011 enables users to work with base imagery and map data along with geo-coding services from the Microsoft Bing Maps platform. This internet service provides context to analysis via a high resolution, broad area base map and geocoding, with labeling and search capabilities embedded directly into the ERDAS desktop application.
Many of the tools in ERDAS IMAGINE are integrated with these base maps, making it easy to:
• Measure distance and area
• Perform visual change detection
• Digitize features & search against an address database
• Update your GIS
• Provide reference source for GCPs
• Create maps

Visualize Your Data in a Global Context
Bing Maps provides a high resolution, broad area base map for quick and easy identification of imagery context. Determine the real-world location of your imagery at a glance and see how different images spatially relate to one another.
Geocoding in ERDAS IMAGINE
Bing Maps offers a unique geocoding capability, enabling users to match a street address or place name to its corresponding map location (geocoding) or see what address exists at a selected map location (reverse geocoding).
Convenient Source of Ground Control Points (GCPs)
Bing Maps is a source of GCPs for quicker, easier georeferencing and geocorrection of imagery.
