From Pen & Ink to GIS - Grateful for 30+ years with Maptitude

My undergraduate and Master's degrees are in Geography, circa 50 years ago. My cartography classes were learned using Pen & Ink, Leroy lettering sets, Zipatone, and Calipers, too... first on parchment paper, later on mylar! Quite a laborious process, so I was happy when a computer geek told me in Grad school he was going to put me out of business someday with GIS. That was good news to me, and I told him so, but had to wait 20 more years. In 1995, I read a glowing trade journal review about a new GIS company, Maptitude -- Loved the name, affordability, and training at a level you didn't have to be a computer geek to make a map. Since then, I have used Maptitude in all my hospital planning jobs until I retired and still use it for personal research. Lots more GIS competition these days, some supposedly "free" -- I don't know anything about that, I admit-- So who to trust if you're new to GIS mapping and need to improve geographic insights for business, teaching, and more? I wholeheartedly recommend Maptitude, with its continuous product improvements, up-to-date demographics, online training, and a very supportive Caliper staff.
