"In order to provide a reasonable alternative for Community 2020 users,
Caliper has been offering a $150 upgrade to the current version of
Maptitude. We are also still providing limited support to Community 2020
users at our own expense, as HUD has discontinued its support contract with
Aspen Systems. Many Community 2020 users have switched quite successfully
to Maptitude 4."
I was originally interested in taking up Caliper on their offer and upgrading
my Community 2020 to Mapitude 4, but I had this question - how does the
upgrade preserve the various HUD forms and tables and maps that were part of
the original C2020? Wouldn't the upgrade overwrite these HUD files?
Just to add my two cents worth, I am wary of these Web-based mapping
solutions, and I think it would be a mistake if HUD had no desktop
application as part of its new C2020. Community development people are
already complaining about the delays in accessing the HUD website for their
IDIS needs - imagine the additional bottlenecks if the C2020 web-based
component is now added to the mix.
