Product Description:
MAPIT - Bringing detailed world mapping to your PC.
MAPIT is an integrated world-wide mapping system of amazing detail which
lets you create customized maps for work, school, or fun.
Use MAPIT to:
* Print detailed, professional-quality, customized maps.
* Import maps into your word processing documents.
* Record and track data.
* Add your own customized detail: text, hidden text, figures, and
line data.
* Zoom to any level and navigate around the world.
* Plot great circles - the shortest distance between any two points.
* Measure distances in miles, kilometers, or nautical miles.
* Calculate to/from azimuth bearing angles.
* Plot range curves and calculate associated areas.
* Save your private data in compact files for easy, efficient
distribution and retention.
* 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 customize features. Mark locations with
multiple copies of your own figures (simple line drawings). Document
with MAPIT's seven stroked text fonts in any size at any angle. Use
hidden text to hide a screen's-worth of data behind a small marker you
can pop up with the click of a mouse.
School age children will amaze their teachers and friends with the
accurate maps of foreign countries and states they can plot from MAPIT's
database. And your little ones will love to color-fill the oceans,
lakes, islands, and countries imported into their favorite paint brush
program from MAPIT
The more serious user has 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. You 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 in statute miles, nautical miles, or kilometers. Dynamically
plot range curves up to half way around the world measuring the enclosed
area as you go.
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.
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, 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 under 1 MB. Registration starts at $39 (+
S&H) depending upon options.
Registrants receive the most recent version, more detailed data (as
ordered), a printed manual, a full-use license, and mail/phone product
support. VISA and MasterCard are accepted.
Packaging:
See the screen dump in MAPIT3.PCX for possible use in advertizing.
You may distribut MAPIT on a single 1.44MB diskette, two 720KB
diskettes, or three 360KB diskettes. MAPITA.PAK should be placed
on the first or second diskette, and MAPITB.PAK on the first, second,
or third.
The installation program works with one, two, or three floppies. Just
enter "a:install".
Legal Considerations:
You may distribute copies of the Software IN ITS UNMODIFIED ENTIRETY on a
commercial basis for a fee not to exceed TEN DOLLARS total, or you may
post the Software on electronic bulletin boards if you package the
Software so that each diskette must be downloaded IN ITS UNMODIFIED
ENTIRETY.
If you post it, you must compress or otherwise package the Software in
either a combined file named "MAPIT13.ext" or as two separate files named
"MAPIT13A.ext" and "MAPIT13B.ext" where ".ext" reflects the type of
compression or packaging used.
You may not list the Software in advertisements, catalogs, or other
literature as "FREE SOFTWARE". Shareware is "Try-Before-You-Buy"
software, not free.
