FYI. The people at Amber IQ did not invent the original Vertical Mapper. It was developed by Northwood Technologies which was later bought by Marconi Inc.

I was also very impressed with the capabilities and ease-of-use compared to legacy GIS packages. The current version of Amber IQ is like Vertical Mapper on steroids, but I see it evolving into a more comprehensive next generation GIS package that will compete head-on with MapInfo and ArcGIS as AmberCore will continue to push the limits of GIS capabilities...making flat static maps a thing of the past. It is a refreshing breeze of innovation in the doldrums of GIS today.

I went on the web site and downloaded a free trial copy. I'm now in a testing phase Having used vertical mapper for the last 7 years I can say that Amber IQ looks to be very promissing!! Up to this point I'm very impressed. www.ambercore.com It's worth a try.. Thank you Bill and thank you Ambercore.
