Obviously on a Maptitude listserve, folks are going to recommend Maptitude.
What's key is folks who are using or have used other GIS software, and still
recommend Maptitude. I would count myself as one of those people, and I'm sure
you will hear from several others who experience in various software packages.
Maptitude has a great combination of ease of yse, price, and data that comes
with the software. The manual is designed to speed up the learning curve.
Back to price, not sure exactly what type of analysis you intend to do, but
more than likely Maptitude will handle anything that the much costiler ESRI
stuff can do.
The fact that you are new to this work and appearantly want to teach
yourself, makes Maptitude an excellent choice for mapping.

I am a program evaluator who is new to mapping and GIS work. I would
appreciate the thoughts of those who are more familiar with the
Maptitude software. Would you suggest Maptitude 4.8 for someone who is
new to this work. In other words, is it fairly "user friendly" for
someone just starting out? I am mainly looking for a program that will
allow me to work with locally-constructed databases available as Excel
or Access files.
Thank you.
