Imports gridded data into MS-MapPoint, to produce attractive data maps.

Can handle imperfect data, holes, re-gridding, etc. Can be used to import such attributes as pollution data, seismic hazard, geological information, customer/population distribution, etc.

Various text formats supported using space, tab, or comma separators. Data must be addressed using longitude, latitude coordinates.

Features:

В· Display data that is on gridded coordinates, rather than addresses or zip-codes.
В· Add a greater range of attractive displays to MapPoint.
В· Greater flexibility of colors than standard MapPoint maps and charts.
В· Tolerance for missing data.
В· Plot data at a different resolution to that of the input file.
В· Plot data for any point in the World, unconstrained by the MapPoint edition being used.

В· Works with text files exported by Excel, Access, and many other applications.
В· Data points are indexed by longitude and latitude coordinates - ie. as used by GPS systems and cartographers.
В· Can re-grid data for a smoother display.
В· Support for data holes: keep them or interpolate across them!
В· Support for a variety of different text files including space, tab, and comma separated types.
В· Polygon-reduction algorithm to speed MapPoint's rendering of the final display.
В· Design and re-use your own colormaps.
В· Walk-through tutorials.
