- Product Description:
-
- MAPIT - Your Graphics Notepad on the World
-
- MAPIT is an integrated world-wide mapping system of amazing detail
- which helps you create customized maps for work, school, or fun.
-
- Use MAPIT to
-
- * print detailed, publication-quality, customized maps,
-
- * merge maps with word processing documents,
-
- * record and plot live GPS data,
-
- * add your own customized detail with 100' precision,
-
- * zoom to any level and navigate around the world,
-
- * show day and time anywhere in the world,
-
- * measure distances, calculate azimuth angles, and plot great
- circles and range curves and calculate associated areas.
-
- A powerful reference tool, MAPIT contains a wealth of information and
- is just plain fun to use.
-
- Import your own data. Mark locations with figures (simple line
- drawings). Document with stroked and hidden text.
-
- Record real-time Global Positioning System (GPS) data from your car,
- boat, or plane on your laptop and use MAPIT's sophisticated GPS
- Utilities Package to import and view your exact track.
-
- School age children will amaze teachers and friends with accurate,
- detailed maps of foreign countries and states. And your little ones will
- love to color-fill the oceans, lakes, islands, and countries imported
- into their favorite paint brush program.
-
- More serious users have a choice of exporting data in the colorful .PCX
- screen dump file format or in the ultra-detailed HP-GL/2 graphics
- plotting language format accepted by many laser printers and pen
- plotters. They can even merge this data into publication-quality
- compound (text and graphics) documents supported by modern word
- processors.
-
- MAPIT displays a true Mercator projection, the choice of navigators.
- Layout great circle tracks between multiple points totaling their
- distances. Dynamically plot range curves measuring the enclosed area as
- you go.
-
- MAPIT includes almost 6000 international cities and 19,000 US cities
- with their 1990 populations. The underlying vector-based geographic
- database consists of over 5 million points organized by coastlines,
- lakes, rivers, canals, reefs, salt flats, national boundaries, and US
- and Canadian state and provincial boundaries. Believe me, you'll find
- places in this database you never imagined existed.
-
- MAPIT comes network-ready for multi-user installations. The large
- read-only main database can be located on a shared disk for more
- efficient operations.
-
- If you are looking for more than just a pretty picture -- or perhaps
- need many different pretty pictures, let MAPIT be the end of your
- graphical quest. Home, school, lab, or office, MAPIT can do the job!
- MAPIT, your electronic notepad on the world.
-
-
- System Requirements:
-
- MAPIT requires a fast IBM compatible running DOS 3.1 or later, 512KB RAM,
- an EGA or VGA display, and a mouse. Hard disk requirements vary based
- upon data options, but are considerable, ranging from 3 to 28 MB. The
- shareware version requires less than 1 MB.
-
-
- Obtaining Shareware MAPIT:
-
- You can download Shareware MAPIT from this BBS where it is stored in
- the files MAPIT14A.ZIP, MAPIT14B.ZIP, and MAPIT14C.ZIP.
-
- Because these files total some 913,000 bytes and may take a significant
- amount of time to download, you may rather order a single 3.5"
- 1.44 MB diskette directly from the author for a flat $5 charge.
- Please see ordering information at the end of this file.
-
-
- Installing MAPIT.
-
- If you download MAPIT, you need to UNZIP all the files into a disk
- directory before running the install program found in the first file.
-
- > PKUNZIP MAPIT14A
- > PKUNZIP MAPIT14B
- > PKUNZIP MAPIT14C
- > INSTALL
-
- The install program will ask where you want the MAPIT data stored
- (C:\MAPIT) and complete the installation for you.
-

-
- You are free to copy and distribute the pre-installed but UNZIPPED
- Shareware MAPIT IN ITS UNMODIFIED ENTIRETY to friends or colleagues.
