Curious that I can find shape files for AV and MapI files that won't load
into AV or MI and then when I important them into Maptitude (they have
always imported fine) and then output the files from Maptitude to another AV
or MI file that THEN I can get AV and MI to read their own files. Besides
that, Maptitude is easy to use and does a few things that MI and AV can't.
Maptitude doesn't have any Spatial Analyst or Vertical Mapper., but Surfer
works just fine - not seamless, but hardly a big bother. Considering the
$400 cost versus the bloated $12-1400 cost of the others it is a very good
deal.
