The North Carolina Legislature Selects Maptitude for Redistricting Extension for ArcGIS |
|
We are pleased to announce that the North
Carolina Legislature has decided to use
Maptitude for Redistricting Extension for
ArcGIS for all of their redistricting
activities this decade. Legislative staff
are well versed in ArcGIS, having used Esri
software for the past 15 years. The
Extension adds the same redistricting
functionality that has made native Maptitude
for Redistricting the industry standard and
sales leader.

We will be demonstrating our new Maptitude for
Redistricting Extension for ArcGIS at the NCSL
National Redistricting Seminar in Providence,
Rhode Island September 25-28. To arrange for a
demo of the extension or native Maptitude for
Redistricting on Sunday or Monday during the
Redistricting Committee Meeting, please call or
text Howard Simkowitz at 240-281-3231. The
extension brings the same redistricting
functionality, speed, and ease of use to the
ArcGIS desktop as native Maptitude for
Redistricting. The pricing for native Maptitude
for Redistricting and the Extension is the same. |

The next Maptitude for Redistricting training

This three-day intensive course covers all
of the redistricting features of the software.
You will also learn most of the key Maptitude
features that are useful when building plans
including map creation, labels, themes, styles,
freehand drawing tools, autoscale, data
manipulation, printing maps and plans, selection
sets, geocoding incumbents, combining race data
using formula fields, statistics, geographic
editing, joining political data to the
geography, and disaggregating and aggregating
