locations, do not try doing it without using Maptitude. Among other things, Maptitude allows you to evaluate
potential locations anywhere in the U.S. (also internationally) and examine the demographic profile of customers
based on location parameters that you set. In addition, it allows you to map competitor locations and other
locations that may be pertinent to your analysis. Basically,
it takes the guesswork out of selecting a business
location.”

“Great Map Software. Works perfectly for our needs. Building territories are simple and we just used the heat map functionality to adjust our service routes. Pros: Fair Price - a great amount of data is included with the software and their support is awesome. Cons: not much - fairly intuitive to navigate.
Maptive, Mapline...were a lot more expensive and have to purchase additional data.”

“As a
former MapInfo user, I like the ease of use of this product.
It is much easier to do many things in Maptitude compared to
tools like MapInfo, but there is plenty of power. Adding
aerial maps is simple and the layer controls are easy as
well. The price is also affordable.”

Definitely recommend!”

MapInfo or ArcView.”

“I
have been extremely happy with the purchase of
Maptitude. I must admit, I was a little skeptical at
first when comparing Maptitude to MapInfo due to the
large price difference. But after researching both
platforms I felt that Maptitude's functionality
gave us the most bang for the buck.
Creating maps is very easy, not only
because the user's guide that comes with the software is
helpful, but the training offered is top notch. I was
able to receive one-on-one training without leaving the
office. My training sessions were also available
via download to reference when ever I needed.
All in all we couldn't be
happier with our purchase.”

“We've been using Maptitude for more than 20 years. It is by far
'the best bang for the buck' in GIS software. I can't believe the amount of demographic data that comes with the product.
The sophistication is incredible, but the software is relatively simple to use. We've been using Maptitude to
map our CRA Assessment Areas for banks. We also use it for branch impact studies (required by regulators). When
we started using drive-time rings to determine the practical service area of bank branches the regulators
were really impressed.”

“Made for the Power User,
easy enough for an occasional user.
Maptitude allows me great flexibility with imported data. It is very simple to add fields, tag

advanced mapping, Maptitude is the only way to go.
They offer so many customizations you could not
get from any online version. They are also dedicated to continually improving the product.”

“The best mapping software you'll ever need. I've been using
Maptitude since the mid-90's. I love the 3 & 5 digit ZIP boundaries and demographic data that comes with it. To
be honest, we originally bought it because it was the easiest way to acquire Census data. Since then we have continuously
used it for a wide range of client projects. I have to admit it has way more power than I have explored... they keep
adding features - I've made tons of use of the themes (you can color the maps with backgrounds based on the included
geodemographics). I've also used the band feature - retailers LOVE it.
I recommend it ALL THE TIME!”

“In 2013, my company made a decision to move from ArcView to Maptitude
because of ESRI’s annual licensing fees and the high expense for their extensions. At first, my GIS analyst was concerned
about such a sudden change, but he was able to get proficient in only about a week. My firm serves school
districts around the country, providing maps and demographic data to help with enrollment planning. Since changing to
Maptitude, several clients have commented that the maps are easier to read, and provide more information than we used to
be able to provide under ArcView. It was a good move. I just wish I had done it sooner.”

“I've
had the good fortune, or misfortune, to use quite a few GIS
software packages over the past few years and can assure you
that Maptitude is streets ahead when it comes to
ease-of-use. The trick with any GIS is to understand the
terminology, and Maptitude communicates it's functionality
through a common-sense menu structure. The result is that
a
new user is up and running with an extensive range of
capabilities within a very short time." "The package offers
ease of use, an extensive range of functions and
capabilities, and a wealth of data. In fact, if I purchased
the data separately, from any of multiple sources, the cost
for data and restructuring would be over $20,000.”

“This system was awesome. I used to use it at a print and mail
shop I worked at. We would upload mail lists and select data from the map to target areas for advertising. We also
integrated it with custom inhouse software. It was really easy to use as well. If you can use Excel or Word, then you
can use this. Just awesome!”

“Maptitude provides great details of geographies along with demographics and economic variables at all the hierarchies we need. It is the best mapping tool we have and is so much better than some of the big data software packages we have used.
We use maps from Maptitude for our reporting and analytics and clients are excited about how much detail we can give them. Maptitude has much more analytical capabilities and the maps are much more detailed. We have been using Maptitude to show retailers, dealers, and manufacturers their Total Available Markets based on our product forecasts. Once we load our forecasts, dealer locations, housing starts and other demographics, we are able to show where potential new business can be won. Maptitude has allowed us to better display our insights beyond the usual charts and tables.”

“I
have been a planning consultant for over 20 years. I highly recommend Maptitude. The learning curve is short - it is
the most intuitive but powerful mapping applications I have ever used. Others are fine, they cannot beat the ease of
use and functionality of Maptitude. It is easy to create map layers and final presentation maps from scratch with it.
And Maptitude comes with map layer data of its own, which is the best I have seen. In addition can import a variety of
file types, which is extremely valuable when you are working with local governments using a variety of map formats. This
means you can readily combine data from many sources in one map in Maptitude. You will really like working with it.”

“Maptitude adds features and enhanced capabilities, that make it a
continued pleasure to work with. Even after years of use I come across new options that allow for quality analysis.
Frequently now, I apply the facility location tool, which offers outstanding opportunities to relocate warehouses or
stores. Used creatively, for instance in Service Logistics engineer allocation projects, finding the right location for
a pudo or dropbox location is a breeze with this tool. Multiple scenarios can be calculated and analysed, and the
results integrated in Excel- or Power BI models. Maptitude continues to deliver complemented with outstanding support
and training.”

“As far as ease of use goes Maptitude takes the prize, Maptitude
is definitely easier to use right out-of-the-box and the learning curve for advanced functions is shorter than with
MapInfo. As for presentations, Maptitude takes the prize again over MapInfo. The folks at Caliper took great pains
and effort to make a GIS software application that is as user friendly as possible. They took the cartographic
prep-work out of the equation, so that the user can spend less time trying to make the map look pretty and can focus
on doing the actual analysis and presentation.”

“Maptitude
has been an important tool for showing the geography of a
variety of facilities and parameters, from rig trends by
state, to patent trends by metro area, to the location of
important infrastructure installations. Being able to
illustrate and map these elements with Maptitude was
essential for the analysis and, in addition, the software is
backed up with outstanding support if needed.”

“The data
is accurate and visually appealing. What this will mean
in understanding the world around me is enormous. I have
been able to jump right in and make beautiful, meaningful
and accurate maps. Having the power to analytically divide
markets, populations, etcetera, will result in decisions with
pinpoint accuracy.”

“Maptitude is
incredibly user-friendly. It can be very intimidating to use a new geospatial tool without formal training. With Maptitude, I started with no training and quickly became the in-house expert at my company. We are locating new stores, optimizing existing footprints and quantifying local market opportunities. I learn something new every time I open Maptitude and it certainly has
become the go-to tool for our geospatial analytics.”

“Maptitude is
better than ArcGIS Business Analyst for most of what I need. It is easy to create and
export Excel files that contain lists of data points, and the associated information, within polygons. Another benefit is that the learning curve is not steep
(and the help documentation is excellent).”

“Very nice!
The details compared to MapPoint are superb! I liked the ease of transitioning from MapPoint. Overall great experience using this product. MapPoint didn't offer support any longer and I wanted to find an equivalent product.”

products and is arguably the least expensive, yet serious, mapping
tool available for Windows users. At only US$695 it is priced well
below its more expensive competitors .”

economics by including demographic data that in the past
would have cost tens of thousands of dollars."

technology.”
CIO Review
“[Maptitude]
enables you to see all kinds of relationships that may
not have been clear before: Maybe your product sells
three times better in ZIP codes where the median age is
under 35 than in areas where it is over 45.”

GISDK Testimonials:
"GISDK is its own separate language.
It's pretty straight forward and the documentation is
good. I coded up a proto-type map server (based on their
example) that locates a customer by address and produces
reports about the services we offer in that area, e.g.
their recycling day/trash pickup day."
Sonny Parafina, Solid Waste Services,
City of Austin, TX
"Caliper offers Maptitude...as one of
the cheapest and easiest-to-use desktop GIS software
products available. Maptitude includes a lot of compact,
compressed GIS data...; a powerful geocoder; and
interactive editing and topology maintenance tools. The
GIS SDK (software development kit) allows users to
customise and add their own applications. GIS SDK
routines are accessible via OLE automation with Windows
development products, setting up a pathway for users to
implement a Web server."
