Unhappy with Your Redistricting Software? Switch
to Maptitude for Redistricting |
Soon after the new PL 94-171 data started
flowing from Census, we began to get calls from
organizations unhappy with their choice of
redistricting software and wanting to switch to
Maptitude for Redistricting. If you are having
trouble building your data layers, are
experiencing software crashes, or find the
manual unintelligible, we'll switch you to
Maptitude for Redistricting or Maptitude for
Redistricting Extension for ArcGIS literally
overnight. We have the new PL data merged with
the new TIGER ready for every state. The
