Canadian Universities and Colleges have access to a broad range of geographic data products. The SMART program provides affordable access for learning institutions to support social science, research, business, health and environmental programs.
Canada's leading Location Intelligence Solution Provider, DMTI Spatial, announced its involvement with Canada's academic community in their efforts to provide over 40 Canadian Universities and Colleges with access to DMTI Spatial CanMap® Street map and routing data product line.
