Finally, high-quality map production software that works. MAPublisher cartography software seamlessly integrates over 40 GIS tools into the Adobe Illustrator environment to help you create maps the way you want, how you want. Import the most widely used GIS data formats, including those from ESRI, MapInfo, MicroStation, AutoCAD, Google and the U.S.Government. All GIS data attributes and geographic parameters are maintained, are fully accessible and editable. Cartography is now faster, easier and better than it has ever been. When used together with Geographic Imager for Adobe Photoshop, they form the perfect vector/raster mapping package for the Adobe Creative Suite.

GPSMapEdit - this software is designed for visual authoring of GPS-maps in various proprietary cartographic formats such as Garmin, Polish format, ALAN Map 500/600, Holux, Navitel Navigator. GPSMapEdit is designed to help owners of Garmin, ALAN, Holux and Navitel Navigator. GPS receivers to create own maps. The software allows to quick loading and viewing vector maps in so-called "Polish format", comparing them with different geodetic data like raster maps, GPS tracks and waypoints. In addition, the software may be used for converting GPS-tracks, waypoints and routes among various formats. GPSMapEdit does not have installer now. The program installation does not require special efforts because the software is ready to run. Just download the latest version and unzip it into any suitable folder.

Powerful and fully functional Geographic Information System, a recognized leader in digital mapping. In addition to the traditional database features, MapInfo enables us to collect, store, display, edit and process the map data stored in the database, taking into account the spatial relationships of objects. In the MapInfo product line includes a variety of solutions - from desktop mapping applications to powerful corporate systems market analysis. Over 7000 commercial and government organizations in the world successfully use MapInfo solutions to process and analyze geographic data.

Able Software R2V for Windows, is a powerful raster to vector conversion software at a reasonable price. R2V combines the power of intelligent automatic vectorizing technology with an easy-to-use, menu-driven, graphical user interface in the Microsoft Windows environment. The software converts scanned maps or images to vector formats for mapping, geographic information systems (GIS), CAD, and scientific computing applications.The system is easy to use and can be learned quickly by users with any level of technical background.

R2V provides an easy and complete solution to digitize vector data from image sources, such as scanned maps and drawings, aerial photos, and satellite imagery. For many images, the entire raster to vector conversion process is fully automatic and needs no human intervention. You display the scanned image on screen and you select the vectorization command. That is all it takes! All the lines are extracted in seconds and displayed right on top of the image for you to verify and edit. Powerful editing and processing functions are provided to edit, geo-reference, and label your data. R2V has all the tools to get a perfect set of vector data faster and easier than any other methods.

Bentley PowerMap provides a rich 2D or 3D map production environment. You can work in DGN or DWG files, natively read and reference SHP file formats, and import a wide range of industry-standard raster and vector file formats.

To assist your production workflows, a range of topological analysis tools are available. Like Bentley Map, the topology model is based on, but does not require, the Oracle Spatial topology model and Bentley PowerMap offers all the same topological analysis and spatial operations found in Bentley Map. Because Bentley PowerMap and Bentley Map are based on the same code base, they share many of the same features and functions including:

* The intuitive Map Manager
* XML Feature Modeling
* The Geospatial Administrator
* Oracle Spatial editing
* On-the-fly or on-demand topology
* Spatial analysis and presentation
* Map generation and print preparation
* Map projection and coordinate conversion
* High performance display of industry standard image formats
* Interoperability with other GIS formats including ESRI, MapInfo, and more
* A robust GIS development platform

Vextractor is a professional software for converting raster images to vector (vectorizer).

Vextractor converts drawings, maps and other images, including photo, logos, black-and-white illustrations from raster to vector format. The program can save converted raster images to the following vector formats: DXF, WMF, EMF, EPS, AI or SVG. Files of these vector formats can be imported to popular vector graphics applications like AutoCAD, Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator, and many others. For the purpose of supporting GIS applications, the program allows saving images to the ArcInfo Shape and MapInfo MID/MIF formats. This software is a perfect replacement for the traditional tracing and digitizing. It can save lots of your time, for it is much quicker to use this program rather than do the tracing by hand or using a digitizer.

Why Do You Need Vextractor?
Chances are these days you can open raster files (e.g., BMP, TIFF, PNG, JPG) with your favorite CAD program - the majority of modern CAD programs can import and display raster images. However, as soon as you import your raster file in your CAD program, you will find out that all you can do with it is just view it and trace it over. You are unable to modify or edit the raster as easily as you can do vector data. That takes place because CAD software can only work with vector files. If you want to edit raster files in a CAD application you are to convert them to vector files first. That can be done with a raster to vector conversion program (vectorizer). Once your raster image is converted to the vector format, you will be able to import it in your CAD application and then edit it like any other drawings that you do with your CAD application.
