- Displaying Boundary, Highway and Street Maps
-
-
- Boundary, highway, StreetInfo (county-wide street map and associated city
- boundaries) and StreetInfo Plus for DOS data files may be purchased from
- MapInfo Corporation, 200 Broadway, Troy, NY, 12180, (1-800-FAST-MAP); or
- from Wessex, Inc., 144 Green Bay Road, Winnetka, Il 60093, (1-800-892-6906).
- Wessex's data requires a CD-ROM drive. THE MapInfo COMPATIBLE DATA MUST BE
- IN THE DOS FORMAT RATHER THAN THE GUI FORMAT! Again, even though EarthBASE+
- for Windows is a Windows application, you must use MapInfo data which is in
- the DOS format.

- Documentation
-
-
- This readme file contains an overview of the features of EarthBASE+ for
- Windows and pricing information. The on-line help file that accompanies
- EarthBASE+ for Windows contains the reference section found in the printed
- manual.
-
-
- Overview
-
-
- EarthBASE+ is a mapping application which provides features in four main
- areas: powerful database functions (reads/writes/creates XBASE database
- files; imports/exports delimited ASCII files), locates/geocodes database
- addresses onto a world map down to the street level, creates presentation
- quality color output which may be sent to a printer or the clipboard, and
- data analysis functions. XBASE database files are dBASE compatible database
- files created from applications such as dBASE II-IV, FoxPro, Clipper, etc..
- A strength of EarthBASE+ is its ability to work with large databases while
- requiring minimal hardware. EarthBASE+ is divided into four windows: the
- Globe Window, the Record Window, the Field Window, and the Create Window.
- The main features are as follows:
-
- CREATE WINDOW
-
- XBASE database files may be created or modified according to a user-specified
- field structure. Existing files may have fields added, deleted, and/or field
- names changed. Records may be appended onto existing files. Delimited ASCII
- files may be imported and converted to XBASE database files. The field
- structure may be output to a printer or copied to the clipboard.
-
- GLOBE WINDOW
-
- XBASE Database File Compatibility: Opens XBASE database files containing up
- to 1 million records (file size may not exceed 2000 MB). Every 10,000 records
- requires an additional 110 KB of RAM. An XBASE database file's structure is
- automatically understood as it is loaded. A record is located in the Globe
- Window by using available fields containing latitude/longitude data, street
- address/city/state data, or five digit U.S. zip code data. All EarthBASE+
- features, except record location, are active if no location data is available.
-
- MapInfo File Compatibility: Directly reads and displays concurrently up to 20
- MapInfo boundary (.BDY extension) and 20 MapInfo StreetInfo map (.GEO
- extension) files. Location of database addresses down to the street level is
- available for the region covered by a particular street map. Imports boundary
- data which is in MapInfo's import format (an ASCII format called MBI for
- MapInfo Boundary Interchange format). Converts imported boundary data to an
- optimized boundary file format. Boundary, StreetInfo (county-wide street map
- and associated city boundaries), and StreetInfo Plus for DOS data files may be
- purchased from MapInfo Corporation, 200 Broadway, Troy, NY, 12180,
- (1-800-FAST-MAP); or from Wessex, Inc., 144 Green Bay Road, Winnetka, Il
- 60093, (1-800-892-6906). Wessex's data requires a CD-ROM drive. The MapInfo
- compatible data must be in the DOS format rather than the GUI format.
-
- Record Display Toggle: Records may be displayed based on the following
- criteria: all records, all records included by the last query or all records
- excluded by the last query.
-
- Output: The displayed contents of the Globe Window, governed by the record
- display toggle, may be sent as color output to a printer or the clipboard.
- The displayed contents may be stored to disk as an XBASE database file.
- Records are displayed in the Globe Window and stored in the XBASE database
- file in the order that they have been sorted in the Record Window.
-
- Zoom: Zooms in until the maximized screen width of the Globe Window
- represents 129 feet wide.
-
- Globe Movement: The scroll bars and/or arrow keys move the globe in
- northward, southward, eastward, and westward directions. Double clicking
- on a position of the globe repositions the globe's cursor to that position.
- You may also drag the globe to a new viewpoint by dragging the globe with
- the right mouse button. The snap mode moves the globe from record location
- to record location in the above mentioned directions.
-
- Measurement: Measures the great circle distance between any two points in
- miles and kilometers.
-
- Count: Counts the number of records within a user-defined radius. If the
- count mode is active during queries in the Field Window, the query has the
- added constraint that the record lie within the chosen radius.
-
- Symbol: You may choose any field, out of which, the Globe Window's display
- symbols for each record is extracted.
-
- Range: Divides records into two ranges using any numeric field.
-
- Drawing tools: You may use the drawing tools and the text tool to illustrate
- the Globe Window's display.
-
- RECORD WINDOW
-
- The Record Window lists all of the records in the opened XBASE database file,
- row by row. You specifies which fields are displayed in the window. Records
- may be sorted alphabetically according to their displayed fields or according
- to their distances from the Globe Window's present cursor location. The
- window provides a string searching function. The record display toggle
- functions in the Record Window as it does in the Globe Window. The Record
- Window list may be exported to a delimited ASCII file, output to a printer or
- copied to the clipboard.
-
- FIELD WINDOW
-
- The Field Window views, prints, queries, edits, creates, copies, sums (field
- values), and deletes records in the opened XBASE database file. Queried
- records may be edited, counted, summed (field values), or copied to a new
- file. All fields in the opened XBASE database file may be queried by example
- using '>', '<', and wildcard symbol '*' to constrain the query. The record
- display toggle functions as it does in the Globe Window and is used to create
- compound queries. The Field Window contents may be output to a printer or
- copied to the clipboard.
-
