Part of a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) package for the Apple Macintosh family of microcomputers, this grid-based software package is for map viewing, marking, measuring, transforming and map-making. Maps can be created by using graphic techniques analogous to working with a base map on a light table. Map and image editing options include geometric, numeric, text and colour editing, all of which can be accomplished on the screen, using the mouse and menu choices. MAP II can also access the output of commercial scanning and drawing programs and has the capability to process maps larger than available memory size. Cartographic marking, measuring, detecting, interpreting, analysis and modelling can be accomplished by screen tools as well as by specifying text-based transformation and maps can be displayed or routed to colour or black-and-white printers.
