Advanced Map Analysis for
your PC …the Professional
Map Analysis Package (pMAP) is a powerful,
yet low cost software system for analyzing spatial data in a standard PC.
Spatial data is obtained from a variety of sources, such as map sheets,
surveys, digital maps and other
pMAP consists of a database of base maps and derived information layers, internally referenced to a common geographic location. You create, store, analyze, and display maps using a simple, natural command language. pMAP is easy to learn and use, and supports more than fifty processing operations, including:
optimal paths - visual exposure - edge characterization - spatial interpolation -slope/aspect - effective proximity - coincidence statistics - roving window summaries -map overlay - geographic searches - thematic mapping - contouring - shape/pattern analysis - contiguity - macro files - pop-up windows - contextual help
all within a user-friendly natural language. The tutorials are accessed through an easy-to-use menu interface. The tMAP system uses a raster data structure, yet allows for input in the form of gridded data, digitized points, lines or polygons. Output includes summary tables, character-based or raster pattern maps, monochrome or color display, and standard files for enhanced color and line graphics.
pMAP uses a grid (raster) data structure supporting
gridded data - digitized points, lines and polygons - interpolated surfaces
pMAP produces output in a variety of forms
summary tables - pageprint maps - raster pattern maps - screen graphics maps - vector graphics ovelay
pMAP presents a simple, easy to use interface. You enter English-like commands through an editor window and pMAP communicates with you through the display window. You can edit commands, log them to a file to create command macros, and recall previously used commands. On-line help is available at a touch of a function key.
The Academic Map Analysis Package (aMAP) is the educational version of pMAP. Whereas pMAP allows maps up to 1,000,000 grid cells (1000x1000), aMAP is constrained to 6400 grid cells (80x80). The academic version is licensed for classroom instructional use and is available in multiple and site licenses. The pMAP Utilities and manual are included. In addition, an extensive set of "digital slide shows" and a video series to support classroom instruction are available.
System requirements are minimal, needing DOS 5.0 or higher (runs as a DOS application
under Windows and NT), VGA graphics, 16MB
