Plainsboro, New Jersey - June 28, 2006

MapText Inc. has added several prestigious clients to its customer base in Australia, the company announced today.

After a thorough evaluation of MapText's label placement solutions, the Queensland Department of Natural Resources (DNR), decided to purchase Label-EZ, MapText's flagship text placement product, and Label-Contour for their topographic mapping.

Northern Territories DNR procured the Label-Map engine to embed in their workflow based around FME to automatically label their high-quality maps for output to PDF.

And most recently, New South Wales Police has decided to augment all of their MapInfo installations with SmartLabel, MapText's integrated text placement solution for MapInfo Professional, in order to generate high-quality police maps efficiently and cost effectively.

“MapText is pleased to provide these organizations with high-quality labeling tools and we look forward to expanding our presence in the region,” says Rishi Mehra, MapText's Director of Sales and Business Development.
