Press Release- Caliper Ships Maptitude for Great Britain
Caliper Corporation has announced the release of Maptitude for Great
Britain, a new addition to its growing GIS product suite. Maptitude
brings a high-end, out-of-the-box GIS solution to the UK, at low cost and
without a steep learning curve. In addition, Maptitude comes with
extensive UK data, such as points of interest, Postcode boundaries and
points, land-use, demographics, and London streets, as well as providing
a Postcode locator tool and enhanced Ordnance Survey NTF
support.
Maptitude, the new GIS choice for UK Business, Government, and
Education
Maptitude is known for its ease of learning, ease of use, quick
performance, clear documentation, extensive functionality, and excellent
value. In addition, Maptitude comes with three detailed datasets of Great
Britain that provide a massive amount of easy-to-use national
information, suitable for any location based application or task. This
also includes Postcode geographies and one of the most detailed London
databases available.
Maptitude for Great Britain is shipped as a single package for £400
($595) and comes with capabilities that are not supported by desktop
mapping products costing three to ten times this amount, as the data
alone would otherwise be many times the price of Maptitude for Great

maps to plan or run your business better, Maptitude provides the perfect
solution.

integrated pie and bar charts. The MapWizard® automatic mapping
technology lets you create thematic maps with a single mouse click, and
you can customize your maps with interactive editing and drawing tools.
In addition you can create stunning 3-D or prism maps to better convey

easily define administrative districts, create distance buffers, generate
best routes, or identify and evaluate potential facility sites.
By integrating the supplied map layers and demographics with your own
data, you can further analyze the spatial organisation of your company
and see where to focus future efforts. Support for the variety of data
formats including those of the major vendors (ESRI, Ordnance Survey NTF,
MapInfo, and Integraph) makes this easy, allowing you to smoothly
integrate external data or migrate from existing systems.
