MDS RoadNET updates will be hitting the streets next week.
MDS has added significant value to this new release including major infrastructure openings such as the Deer Park Bypass in Melbourne, the much anticipated opening of the Epping-Chatswood Rail Link in Sydney, and the Northern Motorway Extension north of Auckland in NZ.
Significant work has also been placed on analysis and updating existing street centreline data to update it with respect to additional value of Dual Carriageways, Roundabouts and Slip Ways to further improve the MDS RoadNET data.
Incremental RoadNet Update Files Now Available
MDS' value add as a significant Australian and New Zealand data vendor now includes a set of incremental update files for the MDS RoadNET Road Centreline data. Included will be two text files which contain the relevant Street_PID value. One file for ‘Deletions’ and one file for ‘Additions’, allowing greater ease of updating the road data for our subscription clients and partners' applications without the need for a full data reload.
Further Data Updates
MDS latest data updates for Australia & New Zealand CadLite, GNAF, RoadNet and LGA’s have now shipped. For customers not under subscription maintenance please contact Margreet for further information via email or phone +61 2 8436 2812.

Attributing Blame in the Black Saturday Wildfires |
|
MDS' partner Risk Frontiers reviews the recent Victorian bush fires in their newsletter.
"Even as fire services still struggle to contain Victorian fires, the blame game has begun. With about 200 deaths and 1800 homes destroyed, someone has to be responsible.
The experts have all the answers: global climate change; arsonists; lack of clarity of the warnings; the controversial ‘prepare, stay and defend or go early’ policy; interstate bickering by politicians; greenies,..." Read on...

Customer News -Tough times made easier |
|
For Park & Fly, online proved to be the difference
 |
MDS recently helped Park & Fly solve one of their biggest problems while increasing their business by incorporating MDS' interactive online locator. |
"our location is complex, as the street address does not match the driveway entry. GPS systems would bring our customers (many of whom travel from rural NSW) to the wrong place. There is only one entrance to the car park and customers were getting lost, resulting in lost revenue." says Sunny Sirabas – Marketing and Communications at Park & Fly
By specifying the requirements, MDS was quickly able to provide an interactive locater that took into consideration the one entrance, so that accurate door-to-door driving directions were available to customers.
"...ensuring that our customers can find and locate our facility painlessly, without having to leave our website" Read the full press release
For more information on how an interactive online locator can help your business, please contact Lisa Le via email or phone +61 2 8436 2835.
What our customers are saying
"...the MDS Australia data is "Fantastic" and we (one of the world's largest governments) are very pleased with it..."
