- Product Description:
-
- MAPIT - Detailed World-Wide Mapping on your Screen.
-
- MAPIT is an integrated world-wide mapping system of amazing detail
- which lets you insert your own text, figures, and graphics.
-
- Use MAPIT to:
-
- * produce detailed, customized maps on your laser printer or plotter
- or include them in your word processing documents,
- * enter, record, and track your own data,
- * plot great circle and range curves,
- * display, analyze, and solve location-related problems,
- * communicate in pictures and words,
- * create private databases to distribute data easily and efficiently,
- * do all of the above with 100 foot precision - ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
-
- A powerful reference tool, MAPIT contains a wealth of information and
- is just plain fun to use.
-
- Insert or import lines to define features. Add your own figures.
- Document and communicate with stroked and hidden text. Enter MAPIT's
- seven user-extensible scalable stroked text fonts at any size and angle.
- Hide a screen's-worth of information behind a small marker, popping it
- up at the click of a mouse.
-
- MAPIT displays a true Mercator projection, the choice of navigators.
- Layout great circle tracks between multiple points totaling their
- distances in statute miles, nautical miles, or kilometers. Dynamically
- plot range curves up to half way around the world.
-
- Create colorful screen shots with the .PCX file creation command and
- ultra-detailed plots on any laser printer or pen plotter supporting the
- HP-GL/2 graphics plotting language. Include these maps in your word
- processing documents.
-
- MAPIT includes almost 6000 international cities and 19,000 US cities
- with their 1990 populations. Click on any city to pop up its size.
- 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.
-
- 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. MAPIT, your electronic notepad on the world.
-
-
- System Requirements:
-
- MAPIT requires a fast IBM compatible running DOS 3 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 CompuServe Forum IBMAPP, Lib 7
- where it is stored in the files MAPITA.ZIP and MAPITB.ZIP or from
- this bulletin board.
-
- Because these files total some 635,000 bytes and take a significant
- amount of time to download, you may rather order a single 3.5"
- 720 KB 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 from CompuServe, you need to UNZIP the two
- files into a disk directory before running the install program found
- in the first file.
-
- > PKUNZIP MAPIT11A
- > PKUNZIP MAPIT11B
- > 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.
