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.
Shareware Distribution:
You are free to copy and distribute the pre-installed but UNZIPPED
Shareware MAPIT IN ITS UNMODIFIED ENTIRETY to friends or colleagues.
Please label the diskette[s] "Shareware MAPIT 1 [2]".
