Global Elements offers a range of products derived from Europa Technologies' flagship product, Global Insight PLUS. Created in response to frequent enquires from customers requiring continental place gazetteers and specialist map layers, Global Elements delivers the quality and consistency of Global Insight products in component form.
There are five different databases available from Global Elements:
Continental Gazetteers: Six continental place gazetteers are available with generous coverage of the following areas.
Global Elements gazetteers cover their respective areas at 1:1,000,000 scale. Like Global Insight, place names are spelt in the local form with a supplement layer providing alternative spellings (English conventional name, second national language or long/short form). All place names use diacritic (accented) characters where required using a standard ANSI character set (e.g. Arial, Times Roman, etc.).
Global Elements gazetteers are an excellent choice for users performing continental geocoding by place name. The alternative names layer allows an advanced geocoder to pick up many places with a conventional English name or spelt using a national second language.
The extensive place name gazetteer allows rapid location of almost any city, town or village in each continental area. Place data records include country name and 1st level administrative region (where available) which assists when identifying an ambiguous name.
Time Zones: Offers complete mapping at 1:1,000,000 scale of the worlds time zones in the context of an up-to-date political map. Includes offsets from Universial Time (UTC) and letter designation. Supplement layers include the international Data Line and a number of useful grids and bands.
Airports: Comprehensive database of over 14,200 airports world-wide including name, classification, IATA code, country, elevation and latitude/longitude.
Airports & Ports Combo:The combination of airports and ports provides a complete international and global transportation database.
