How is Maptitude used for forestry
mapping?
- Maptitude is used by
foresters to improve the quality of
forest management maps, such as
those used in plans developed under
landowner assistance programs.
- Maptitude is used with GPS
devices to make cruise maps, stand
maps, map boundary lines, manage
thinning, map tree locations, etc.
- Maptitude can display
topographic imagery layers and
aerial photo layers as background
layers or base maps.
- Maptitude can map contours and
display 3D elevations and surfaces
- Maptitude can be used for
natural resource management, mapping
farmland, forests and recreational
sites, agri-business, woodlot
management, watershed protection,
timber inventory, silviculture
activities, woodlot maintenance,
campground facilities, and native
tree species identification
For special projects and reports, Maptitude provides better
analysis and illustration of information. Using tabulated data,
this program creates maps, charts, and graphs. For example, the
extreme damage caused by Hurricane Ivan in September 2004
required immediate emergency response from the AFC.

I use Maptitude from Caliper in Mass. and a Trimble GEOXM with ArcPad. Load the GIS right onto the GPS unit with an aerial photo and off you go. Used it for 6 years and have traversed several hundred acres a year for thinning.... Maptitude is 1/3 the cost of ArcMap and does more out of the box.
