Maptitude - http://research.umbc.edu/~roswell/maptitude.html Hi Armando: We have been working with Caliper Products since 1990, so we have test and use Maptitude from the very beginning, believe me there is no other product like Mapt on the market. A real GIS, with full topology, not a mere desk top mapping with some intelligence and geocoding. We have a very good digital map of São Paulo, some facts and figures: 10,000,000 inhabitants, 60,000 blocks, 165,000 street links, everything with a lot of attribute data. Recently we have set up a map with 1.3 million points, no problem. I have try to force Mapt to the limit, and I have found only two limitations, a very big polygon, with a lot of shape points can create troubles, I do not know the limit, but certainly there is one and Caliper should have increase that limit from time to time. The other is a limit of layers you can have in a map, this I do not know as well, but I have found that if you create several layers with similar names, like Blue Area 1, Blue Area 2, Blue Area 3, and so on, when the counter reach I think is 14 or 16, there is a crash, this happens some time ago, when we where in a big job, and I did not have enough time to experiment, but I remember that there was a difference in this strange behavior regarding the type of layer (line or polygon), we did not test it with points. Well that is all. I hope it can help.
