Dear readers,

I am in need of a raster to vector conversion software and am looking for
advice in where to turn and tips on what to look for.

My company works with scanned images of cemetery maps. The maps are fairly
simple in terms of basically being made up of a variety of lines that after
our staff's work is completed, results in several layers of lines and
regions.  The maps are in basic black and white with no visual difference
between lines and regions or layers.  In many cases we scan the maps and
then digitize the more complicated regions into our maps.

Ideally I'd like to find something that could do the full conversion into a
vector and we could just copy elements from the main vector map into other
layers and then clean these lines and convert them to regions and polylines
etc.  Alternatively, if we could use the snap tool to trace our rasters that
have become vectors, our work again might be that much easier.  I'd also be
happy to consider other alternatives if they were suggested.

Any suggestions in terms of where to look and what to look for?  I've
checked the archive, but some of those are fairly outdated and many of the
links no longer exist.  Sorry for the redundancy of a common question
though.

Thanks in advance,
