Maptitude supports over 50 file types and more than 100 GIS and CAD
formats. You can map ESRI Shapefiles
(see a short demo),
MapInfo TAB files, and Oracle Spatial tables directly, or use the
built-in translators to import geographic data from a variety of other
software packages and public sources. This extensive library of
importers and exporters
(See
the table below)
is one of the largest in the industry and comes at no additional charge.
This makes Maptitude the perfect choice for a new GIS purchase because
you can work with your existing installation or easily migrate your data
from your current GIS products.
You can also use raster images such as satellite or aerial photographs directly in your maps. Maptitude includes toolboxes for quickly accessing on-line images from TerraServer-USA and GoogleEarth. These images can be used as a means of reference or in conjunction with the map editing tools to create or edit geographic files.
A built-in interface to Global Positioning System (GPS) devices lets you track and record your location, and build geographic databases as you work. With a GPS and a laptop, users in the field can create accurate geographic files of public utilities, corporate facilities, geographic features, and more.
