## East View Geospatial Jottings

EVG has played a role in gaining access to and then marketing original geospatial information from [China](/source/China) and [Russia](/source/Russia), pertaining in particular to [Asia](/source/Asia), [South America](/source/South_America), and [Africa](/source/Africa), areas of the world for which the [United States](/source/United_States) of America does not have tactical maps at the 1:50,000 or better level, with [contour lines](/source/Contour_lines).

In 2003, East View Cartographic formed a partnership with [Environmental Systems Research Institute](/source/Environmental_Systems_Research_Institute) (ESRI) to provide data sets for ESRI's Mapshop web application.[1]

In 2006, East View acquired perhaps the first comprehensive private collection of worldwide geologic maps from the Telberg Geologic Map Service.[2]

In 2010, East View acquired the map assets and domain name of [Map Link](/source/Map_Link).[3]

In 2012, East View Cartographic changed its name to East View Geospatial.[4]
