* User definable symbols.
* Translucent and semi translucent fills.
* Curved, stretched, and outline text and other text effects.
* Arrows, dimensions, grids, and other annotation.
* Easy to create scale bars, north points, legends, text panels, inset images etc.
* Include text and charts from MS Word.
* Point and click to pop up images, documents and internet links.
Map Creation & Editing
* Create from new or import and edit.
* Intuitive cutting and joining of polygons.
* Single click flood fill vector polygon creation.
* Raster and vector rubber sheeting.
* Trim raster and vector to polygons.
* “Spaghetti processing”, converting lines to polygons.
* Polygons from overlapping polygons.
* Powerful data tidying routines.
* Calibrate raster images.
* Raster to vector.
* Many, many, more vector and raster manipulation actions.
Using data with maps
* Use data from Microsoft Access, Excel, or dBase files to colour up a map or determine symbols.
* Generate legends automatically. Data charts as well as data controlled fills and symbols.
* Link data queries seamlessly to Microsoft Access forms or Lotus Approach Forms.
* Measuring areas and lengths is simple.
* Numerous spatial queries such as “contained in polygon”, “within x distance of line” etc.
* Inherit data from one layer to another.
* Create and query buffer zones.
* Edit attributes of found set.
Latitude & Longitude
* Limitless user definable datums as well as all the USGS recognised datums.
* UTM, UK National Grid, Lambert’s Conical, and user defined Transverse Mercator and Conic projections.
* Support for correction matrices to compensate for local irregularities e.g. 5cm accuracy for the UK.
GPS
* Live data capture (NMEA and Garmin)
* Download waypoints and tracks.
* Live tracking of moving points.
* Ortho rectify aerial photography using GPS control points.
Printing
* User defined page templates for high quality accurately scaled prints.
* Variety of grids, graticules, and co ordinate numbering.
* Multi sheet printing of large maps.
Compatibility
* Import a wide range of vector data including ArcView SHP, MapInfo MIF, AutoCAD DXF, USGS DRG, Ordnance Survey NTF, Ordnance Survey MasterMap (GML) etc.
* Export maps as image overlays to Google Earth
* Export SHP, MIF, DXF etc.
* View BMP, TIF, Geo Tiff, JPG, and ECW raster data.
* Export BMP, JPG, TIF, Geo Tiff, and ECW images.
* Export attribute data to Microsoft Access, Excel, dBase etc.
3D functions
Surface creation
*Create 3D surfaces from spot heights or contours.
*Create density surfaces from distributions of points.
Perspective views
*Create perspective visualisations of projects such as forestry plantations to help assess the visual impact.
*Add 3 dimensional features such as woodland, lakes, dams, wind farms, and power lines.
*Drape bitmaps, such as aerial photos or scanned paper maps, over the surface
*Lighting effects such as distance haze and sun direction for a particular date, time, and location.
*Create animated sequences
Cross sections
*Create cross sections through a surface or multiple strata.
Edit surfaces
*Push and pull a surface to change its shape
*Merge adjacent surfaces
*Trim, and resample surfaces
*Combine data surfaces
*Shift and/or multiply surfaces
*Remove spikes and other irregularities
Create bitmap
*Create a bitmap representation of a surface to represent altitude
*Apply side lighting to highlight the form of the surface
*Create a bitmap to show areas of greatest slope
*Create a bitmap to pick out ridges and valleys
*Drape a aerial photograph or a scanned map over a surface.
Analysis
*Calculate volumes.
*Calculate true areas and distances on the slope.
*Generate contours as vectors and bitmaps from digital surfaces in order to map data such as that used in precision agriculture.
*Determine catchment areas
*Examine lines of sight across a surface
*Interrogate height values on a map
Compatibility
*Import surface data from other formats such as ArcGrid, Surfer, Idrisi, SRTM, USGS, and Ordnance Survey.
*Export surfaces to Surfer, ArcGrid, Idrisi, DBF, and as contours.
Latitude and Longitude
*Convert a surface in Latitude and Longitude coordinates into projected coordinates, such as UTM.
