Versamap for Windows
-
Version
3.01
Versamap draws outline maps on 16 map projections. The
program allows users to print publication quality maps;
and to export maps in vector graphic (WMF, CGM, DXF,
ASCII) and bitmapped (BMP) formats.
Versamap is supplied with digital maps from the
Versamap Micro World Database, a world map with 220,000
points in 10 geographic features.
Versamap may be ordered with more detailed digital maps
from:
(1) World Data Bank II, a world map with 6 million
points in 36 geographic features; and from the
(2) USGS Digital Line Graphs, a map of the 50 United
States with 7 million points in 72 geographic features.
Individual geographic features, such as coastlines,
rivers, islands, and political boundaries, can be
plotted from these digital map databases.
The program allows users to plot their own data (as
lines or symbols) in a simple ASCII format, and to
display labels next to their data points.
Text may be added to maps with any TrueType font. Each
text string can have a different font, and can be
rotated in 1 degree increments.
Versamap plots great circles between user selected
endpoints, and displays course and distance at points
along the great circle. You map print a Great Circle
Report listing the course and distance at way points
along the great circle, or save the report as a rich
text file (RTF).
The program plots small circles around a user selected
point. You may select the number of concentric small
circles to be plotted, and the distance between small
circles.
Versamap displays map parameters and scale errors at
selected points on the map. You may print the Map
Parameter Report, or save the report as a rich text
file (RTF).
Versamap is designed to plot outline maps of areas
larger than about 200 miles (320 km) on a side. The
program is not designed to plot maps of small areas,
such as city maps.
Versamap requires Windows 2000 or higher, and has an
uninstall option.
