GIS Clerk
We also have to put up with "GIS Snobbery".....!!!
In the UK we have hundreds of users using MapInfo
for engineering, layout and legal mapping.
Is the HR Consultant comparing MapInfo with CAD or GIS.?
All software has more functions than you ever need.
Match the requirements of the task with the appropriate
software and the skills of the user.........
Regards
John Ievers
