In fact, Russian military digital cartography now surpasses in quality by at least an order of magnitude that which is openly from Western governments. Most importantly, the Russians now release exceptionally detailed and accurate cartographic data for regions of the world which formerly could be accessed only by expensive satellite imagery.
East View offers many kinds of digital publications in both categories.
The general trend for all Russian paper-based topographic maps, nautical charts and geological maps is that there be digital, vectorized editions of them. But much has already been done, and more is being done every day. For maps not yet in vector form, East View can special-order such maps according to a customer's wishes. Digital maps in raster form are merely bit-mapped images, usually the result of a file saved from a scanner. Raster images are therefore rather static, voluminous in file size by comparison, and not especially manipulable or searchable.
