Correction 4 of the original guys from Northwood are still at Amber.
I spoke to them on the phone 2 days ago.

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.

Subject: MI-L Amber IQ - Vertical Mapper on Steroids
I was able to see a live Amber IQ demo just the other day after seeing
Bill's post here. 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.

Subject: Re: MI-L Vertical Mapper Contour Problems
Bill suggested AmberCore Inc as a alternative for Vertical mapper.
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.

This is a known limitation of VM. With large grids it just hangs ...
The people who wrote the original Vertical Mapper now have a new
contouring package out there that can handle terabyte-sized files. The new
company is AmberCore Inc. and their product is called Amber iQ. Check out
www.ambercore.com. If you thought Vertical Mapper was cool in the day,
then you ought to see what they've got now...
