Mapping-Tools.com is pleased to announce Version 2.0 of their GridImp product for MapPoint.

GridImp is designed to plot gridded data in MapPoint - a type of data that cannot normally be plotted in MapPoint. Gridded data can be indexed in various coordinate systems and text file formats.

Version 2.0 adds the ability to define custom linear input coordinate systems, and to use UK Ordnance Survey Grid References. Grid References are correctly plotted in both MapPoint 2002 & 2004 - circumventing the grid reference bug in the European Edition of MapPoint 2002.



Another new feature is the capability to create plots on existing maps. This allows it to be used with other tools and add-ins such as Single State Mapper (also available from Mapping-Tools.com).

Full details, examples, and a free trial can be found at: http://www.mapping-tools.com/gridimp/index.shtml

  - Can work with multiple coordinate systems

  - Tolerance for missing data

  - Support for data holes: keep them or interpolate across them
  - Support for space, tab, and comma separated input files

GridImp and Single State Mapper make an effective combination for producing attractive maps of individual States. The following example is a plot of earthquake hazard over a California terrain map:



The following example demonstrates the use of Single State Mapper to draw a group of States. The map illustrates the earthquake hazard around the Yellowstone area:
