SeaZone introduces SeaZone HydroSpatial 2, a new era for marine mapping for GIS. Benefits include an enhanced data model, allowing for intuitive feature filtering; geo-processing and spatial analysis to create cus- tomized data outputs and map views using both real world and abstract feature types. Mapping is delivered in themed tiers with improved symbology, and licensed as a complete package, deliver- ing in both desktop and web GIS. SeaZone HydroSpatial Base pro- vides users with a definitive worldwide marine reference map incorporating large-scale, authoritatively sourced, marine geo- graphic datasets.
