Maptitude^® On-Line Training

Maptitude Basics

• Use maps, figures and dataviews to see your data
• See geographic patterns on maps
• Try different ways to show your data

Maps communicate information that is related to space and location in a remarkably efficient way, reducing volumes of information to a single, clear visual presentation. Maps show geographic features and their characteristics in an electronic version of a paper map.

Maptitude can do two types of figures: prism maps and charts. Prism maps use 3-D imaging and color to show the relative values of a single data field. Charts show tabular data in the form of pie charts, bar charts, area charts, line charts, or scatter plots. You can customize figures to show the data the way you want.

Dataviews display information from geographic files, databases, or spreadsheets in tabular format. In a dataview you can display and edit data, create, and print reports, and customize the way the data are displayed. You can also use dataviews to link your own personal or corporate data to features on a map.
