I am working with Maptitude 6.0 and was importing another product's statewide coverage (Shp file) that included PL94-171 population counts, etc. I was having issues running into memory problems, and was specifying NAD83 settings for the import. However, Maptitude was prompting me to be more specific for the state projection used. I noticed several NAD83 state implementations that included North, South, East or West varieties - and wasn't sure what difference that would have on the results. Well, while it turns out that I was able to open the .shp file every time, whenever I tried to import and create my own geography, the program would blow up. It would also blow up when I tried to import using Maptitude default settings.
I am familiar with several of the projection models, but by no means an expert. I was wondering if there was any resource with more specific treatment of how Maptitude handles this or troubleshooting projection problems with different shape files - of course, I am assuming this problem is user error and not a glitch in the software.
