Starting at under $200, XMap Professional is now a viable alternative to a full-fledged GIS. Before the release of XMap 6.2 last month, access to ESRI shapefile data, the predominant GIS file format, was available only at either the Editor or Enterprise level of the software. Now this data can be imported directly into XMap Professional.
With this functionality, XMap Professional users can now:
- Download and import shapefiles from GIS data archives
- Customize the symbology of point, line, and polygon layers
- Access all of the available attributes for each map object
- Search for specific records using XMap’s Attribute Search function
- Turn selected layers on or off to create custom maps
- Transfer GIS layers and aerial imagery to DeLorme’s Earthmate PN-Series handheld GPS receivers.
All editions of XMap are built on the solid foundation of DeLorme’s award-winning mapping platform and incorporate an array of valuable mapping tools, including efficient route planning and GPS navigation; 3-D terrain modeling; drawing and annotation tools; high-quality map printing; and much more.
