NAVIGATE is a long standing Primary Value Added reseller (VAR) of the PSMA Australia national geospatial datasets. We are able to provide geospatial data under licence to both the end user and other secondary VARs who wish to embed PSMA data into their own products. Our major value add lies in our ability to restructure and reformat the datasets into geospatial database ready products in any GIS or DBMS format.

PSMA Australia was originally formed in 1983 as the Public Sector Mapping Agency (PSMA) to represent all of the state, territory and Commonwealth land information agencies in a project to integrate the best available map data, for a national digital map base of Australia. The project was originally conceived in order to support the Australian Bureau of Statistics 1996 Census.
