Voyager Search Launches Searchable Geospatial Catalogue of Global Content

Voyager Search, a global leader in enterprise search specializing in geospatial data and content, unveiled the VoyagerODN, a single point of search for publicly available data. VoyagerODN makes the most of Voyager Search's core software capabilities by providing public access to millions of free, geospatial pieces of content. Companies, entrepreneurs, analysts, nonprofits, government agencies, hobbyists, and more who need free location-based data can use VoyagerODN to find content by place name, keyword, or browsing content collections.

With specialized content like GIS data not easily discoverable with a simple search, Voyager Search decided to address this problem when customer after customer said the same thing: give us a quick, painless way to research and access the public geospatial data available alongside our own. VoyagerODN is leveraging the Voyager software platform, a culmination of a year of work curating and collecting source content.

"I have been using VoyagerODN to search for geospatial data and the more I use it, the more possibilities I discover," said Aurelie Shapiro, Satellite Remote Sensing Specialist at World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) Germany. "It's easy to use, intuitive, and I like that it integrates so well with Esri's ArcGIS Online, allowing others to find our data as well. I can see how other organizations would find this equally beneficial," Shapiro continued. "In my first search, I came across a really interesting dataset on climate scenarios that led me to even more data that I simply would have not found otherwise."

"We'd been thinking about building something like VoyagerODN for a long time," said Voyager Search's founder and CEO, Brian Goldin. "We have incredibly loyal, passionate customers who rely on our Voyager software to make their data discoverable. It's those same dedicated users, along with others within our industry, that have been asking us to create a solution to bridge the gap between publicly available data and actually locating -- and using -- that data. With VoyagerODN, I believe we've now provided them with that missing piece they were looking for."

VoyagerODN is available now on the Voyager Search website and embedded in Voyager version 1.9.9 for free, as well as with every new purchase of the Voyager software, ensuring all users' content can be searched simultaneously with publicly available content.
