As a complete Maptitude novice As a complete Maptitude novice, I used the software to create a literary map of the greater Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, area. Boston has a rich literary past and present; I easily got the software to dot the map with features that highlighted writers' homes and well-known public hangouts. A fun exercise!

We've been using Maptitude for more… We've been using Maptitude for more than 20 years. It is by far "the best bang for the buck" in GIS software. I can't believe the amount of demographic data that comes with the product. The sophistication is incredible, but the software is relatively simple to use. We've been using Maptitude to map our CRA Assessment Areas for banks. We also use it for branch impact studies (required by regulators). When we started using "drive-time rings" to determine the practical service area of bank branches the regulators were really impressed. Tech support also has been great. We are a small company and tech support is critical to us. Caliper has been great in that respect too.

Maptitude is the greatest deal in GIS applicaitons I've been using Maptitude for about four years. It is an OUTSTANDING product and is the most powerful GIS application on the market today for the price. Nothing else can touch it. And the learning curve is virtually nothing--it is the easiest GIS software that I've learned. I've appreciate their customer support and training packages. All in all, this is a very, very impressive product at a great company.

Review of Maptitude I have been a planning consultant for over 20 years. I highly recommend Maptitude. The learning curve is short - it is the most intuitive but powerful mapping applications I have ever used. Others are fine, they cannot beat the ease of use and functionality of Maptitude. It is easy to create map layers and final presentation maps from scratch with it. And Maptitude comes with map layer data of its own, which is the best I have seen. In addition can import a variety of file types, which is extremely valuable when you are working with local governments using a variety of map formats. This means you can readily combine data from many sources in one map in Maptitude. You will really like working with it.

Maptitude is capable of doing everything you would need. We purchased Maptitude for a yearly mapping project. We are a non-profit charitable organization and our volunteers deliver gift bags to all 930 member families. It was my task to map 85+ delivery routes to all member families in our local area. I was seeking a substitute for Microsoft Streets and Trips. Maptitude is like Streets and Trips on steroids. I think there is probably not much Maptitude can't do. There is a bit of a learning curve because it is so powerful. But I like the ability to customize the map points with a staggering array of colors and shapes. I can save the maps, make PDFs, optimize routing. Everything I need---plus. Thank you Maptitude.
