Dear fellow mappers,
I have read the article below and am interested in the Maptitude products.
My assessment is that potential clients do not need the richer features in
MapInfo. Besides, the $$ factor is a consideration.
Has anyone used the Maptitude before ? How does it compare with MapInfo ?
Any direct feedback is most appreciated.
Regards.
