THE
GIS ENGINE--MAPINFO
MapInfo(V7.0)
is the desktop mapping solution of choice for geoscientists.
It is an intuitive and powerful application that can effectively display
and analyze geological information, as well as facilitate effective output.
MapInfo serves as the GIS engine and can be enhanced with several software
add-ons which run exclusively with MapInfo (see below.)
MapInfo reads data from a variety of
GIS, spreadsheet, and database sources, and can highlight previously unappreciated
spatial relationships. Its querying capabilities are robust and easy
to use. Version 6.5 offers more raster handling tools than ever before.
For more information about MapInfo
you can contact GeoMax, or link
to the MapInfo site.
EXTENSIONS
--
SOFTWARE
TO RUN WITH MAPINFO
Discover(V5.0,
by Encom) is used with MapInfo and creates an 'all in one,' INTEGRATED
GIS FOR EARTH SCIENCES. It allows efficient and effective creation, display
and analysis of geological information, including, but not limited to:
-
Scaled map production (titleblocks, grids,
legends)
-
Geological annotation (faults, folds,
structure symbols)
-
Map building utilities (attributed data
entry, line smoothing, polygon building, standardized color and style libraries,
geological symbols and patterns)
-
Coordinate transformations
-
Metadata tools (spatial cataloging, attributes,
history)
-
Drillhole data (cross section, plan, log,
downhole data displays, sectional resource calculator, data validation,
compositing)
-
Enhanced Layer Control

you can contact GeoMax, or link
to the Encom site.
Geobasemap,
a software suite produced by Exa-Min, allows standardization of data and
provides a large geologic symbol and fill-pattern library. Other tools
assist in creating topologically-correct data for sophisticated GIS database
queries, create scale bars and map legends and provide 'shortcuts' to multi-step
MapInfo functions. MapLinker is a powerful cataloging and hot linking
utility that organizes live data locally and across an enterprise network
and can link multiple file types to MapInfo objects.

Vertical
Mapper (V3.0,by Northwood/Marconi)
creates contours or grids from point data, and through shading and coloring
produces images that clearly display the full range of your data. It is
particularly helpful for displaying geochemical data, geophyscial data
and topography. It converts multiple file formats with built-in utilities,
does grid math, renders sun-shaded and 3D views of gridded data and allows
draping of vector tables on grids, such as geological maps on topography,
or stream sediment geochemistry on geophysical grids.

Mapper you can contact GeoMax,
