Maptitude - http://research.umbc.edu/~roswell/maptitude.html Having implementing 10+ G.I.S. systems using Maptitude and Gisdk Over the past 6 years.  We developed a number of tools to assist in data gathering,  conversion, quality assurance, Inquiry, presentation, reporting, backup etc. I'm a staunch advocate of the Maptitude/Gisdk products but then our perspective is a bit different from most people in that we can create ANY tool that we percieve will help us. No approval is required no budget to consider, no one to muck-up the plan no one to critisize failed efforts.   If any of You folks create area coverages and maintain them your bound to have had need to "start here" "procede in this direction for this distance" .  There is no way to mark that spot then procede on to a next point etc.  There is no way to split an area into n pieces or offset an existing line by n feet etc.        We also have used Gps / Gis(battery operated)  in the field (in a boat) and inventoryed the buoys for the state.  Real time data gathering and data base updating in the field is truly powerfull.      Lately we used arial photos with maptitude to reccord all the addressed in a city.  That is an effective method of data acquision.  The presence of an address(point) label on the roof proved the address had been recorded.  Selecting any point without an address stored highlighted missing addresses.      Perhaps most importantly most G.I.S. products are not designed for users to activate , ask for information and get it in the form they desire.  They are either lack data or a useful interface.   We have created an environment (within or above or beside) Maptitude that is monolithic in nature.  The addin  co-exists to make the user confortable and productive instantly.  If you would like to look at it click this link.    http://www.dteeters.com/gis/      I am not trying to sell any particular product but would appreciate feedback from ya'all on percieved needs.   Thanks Larry Teeters.  To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Get on EqualFooting and get $25 back!
