Re: [Maptitude] Re: How do you like Maptitude Version 4.7?

[Chris Wagner]

Carol, I have used Maptitude since, I believe 4.2,  and I don't think that tech support is to be used for teaching purposes.(although I could be wrong).  If you are using the program for  profit  I would suggest the extra support.  Otherwise  I have used the manual  and have been able to find answers to 90% of my questions.   9% are found using this group.   As with many software programs  ( spreadsheet, word processor)  it won't do it by itself.  The 60 second tutorials are great although I would like to see more of them,  maybe online.  Start at the beginning of the book  and work your way through.   Since my work has limited use for mapping  I find real world ideas from the news paper and try to create maps using their data just to keep refreshed in using the program.    Also you would be getting  newer census data and street maps with 4.7 which alone, using other programs , would cost more than Maptitude itself. I also see you mentioned  Upgrade.....   If Caliper is listening ........  If I recall correctly the last announcement of such was 7/19/2004   15:34.....    Any word on the future releases?

I am an artist by training and I am naturally visual so I think I may learn this fairly fast.  I didn't learn much about the first version we bought.  My husband mostly used it.  I liked that you called this version "robust and intuitive".  That's the first time I've heard anyone describe a softwars as "robust".  :-) Carol --- In Maptitude@yahoogroups.com, Aniruddha Banerjee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Carol, > > With a manual you should be able to breeze through 4.7.
