With the latest release of Spatial Fusion Enterprise v5.6 CARIS is pleased to offer a free trial of its web mapping software allowing you to experience firsthand its capabilities.

Along with several new and improved features, Spatial Fusion Enterprise has now implemented the latest View and Feature Download Services in line with the Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe (INSPIRE) directive. The objective of this release is to provide hydrographic charting agencies with the software tools needed to share their data interoperably.

"We are pleased to support the European Union in their efforts to share spatial information across Europe," says Peter Schwarzberg, marine solutions manager at CARIS in the Netherlands. "Spatial Fusion Enterprise provides a seamless solution for sharing hydrographic data on the Web making marine geospatial information accessible to a wider audience."

Also through this release CARIS has added support for those features in the INSPIRE Annex I Hydrography schema that also appear in the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-57 Electronic Navigational Chart (ENC) data standard.

To support organizations interested in activating the free trial there will be a live Web based tutorial to guide you through using the software.
