This tool creates maps of the whole world or for almost all
countries.
- The Download Free Layers Add-In
provides easy access to no-cost web-based data-sources. This
tool downloads detailed data, including streets, boundaries and
postal code points for many countries and requires an internet
connection. These data are converted to the standard Caliper
geographic format (.dbd) and added to default maps. Attractive
and compelling styles are automatically applied, allowing you to
quickly create presentation quality maps of your area of
interest.
- By using the
Locate-by-Value tool in Maptitude you can plot your points
using the postal code locations.
- If you have the UK Country Package,
then this tool enhances that product with full
postcode geocoding for Northern Ireland.
