Maptitude for Redistricting alternative to DISTRICTSolv
“ The redistricting tools in Maptitude are significantly more
advanced than Autobound, and Maptitude is much faster at key steps.
In one state, we were sharing plans across a team of three GIS
technicians and among about 3 public groups who had their own GIS
capability. Our team and the two outside groups could create an
equivalency file, put it on a disk to share, and get it open and
fully working on another Maptitude computer in under 10 minutes. We
would often provide and receive plans in the fifteen minutes before
a Redistricting Commission meeting began, and then all of us could
view and discuss the plans live on any computer for the hearing.
The one poor guy using Autobound took between one and four HOURS to
import an equivalency file, depending on the number of districts in
the plan, so he typically had to look on with someone's Maptitude
software during the meeting.”
