My experience thus far has been quick and easy. i received fast responses to my inquiry emails, and look forward to remaining in contact with the Maptitude team.

Caliper is an elite company in the world of GIS. Other than there incredible software, it is there customer service that truly sets them apart from the rest. As a GIS student, I am currently using Maptitude at my University to make analysis through spatial modeling. I needed a personal copy so that I could work on school projects off campus. I contacted Caliper and they were very helpful by giving me a student license. Great company.

Our academic research team reached out to Maptitude with questions about a student license. We received an immediate response with detailed instructions on how to obtain the software download. When additional information was needed, we called customer service and were quickly directed to the proper staff members. Customer service was knowledgeable and swiftly answered all of our questions. We are looking forward to working with Maptitude in the future.

I am in the Master of Science in Real Estate (MSRE) program at the University of San San Diego, and I am using Maptitude to prepare maps of real estate data for a presentation on Medical Office Buildings. I have found the people at Caliper to be exceedingly generous with their time in helping me use their Maptitude software, and I can honestly say that I could not graphically demonstrate the most important aspects of my presentation without their software. I highly recommend Caliper and its mapping software.

I contacted Caliper's customer service inquiring to buy a student license. I received an almost immediate reply from a Caliper's customer service representative indicating that Caliper can provide me with a 1-year student license for Maptitude free of charge! I cannot wait to begin using Maptitude and telling my friends in my MA Geography degree program courses about it! Learning to use Maptitude will add to my geography-related skills -- I look forward to a great learning experience using the Maptitude software!

I am relatively new to GIS, however, I have found this platform extremely user friendly and cost effective.

Maptitude – United Kingdom I started using Maptitude in December 2008. Until then I had been using Microsoft MapPoint. I did not want to change from MapPoint as it had been a good servant, but it became increasingly obvious that the software was not a priority for Microsoft. Each new version of the software failed to provide the tools that the business community were asking for. After much research I decided to purchase Maptitude from Caliper, the relatively comparable cost and flexibility made it the obvious choice. Moving to a GIS system was something I was a bit concerned about. However, I needn’t have worried as my knowledge of MapPoint and the excellent 90 day support for Maptitude made the learning curve reasonably painless – most of the time. (If you get the UK version make sure your terminology is very precise when you have a question of support + make sure they know your level of competency.) I am not a developer; all I want is to be able to use the software out of the box. So how did my experience of Maptitude turn out – well it’s fantastic. Everything I wanted to be able to do re analysing business data for all sorts of industries I have achieved and more. You can change virtually any aspect of a map with just a few clicks, something MapPoint continually failed to provide. In fairness to MapPoint it is/was very intuitive and the menu choices were very obvious what they did. The one big thing you need to recognise is that your maps will have layers. Think of your maps as a cake with different layers. If you want to change any aspect of say the roads layer, make sure the roads layer is your working layer. The same if you want to change the cities layer, make sure the cities layer is your working layer. Although I am still on my original version of Maptitude I have noticed that each new release has added really useful tools and/or increased flexibility, and the availability of video tutorials is a real plus. It’s now October 2014 and I have decided to get the latest version of Maptitude and I can’t wait to use it. I will give a further update after I have used it for a few months. MapPoint finishes this year so if you need to replace or start using mapping software I would highly recommend purchasing Maptitude – hang in with it and you won’t be sorry.

Maptitude is a great GIS program that is infinitely easier to use than arcGIS. I am a novice at GIS software, and I have access to both arcGIS and maptitude. Maptitude is significantly easier to use. arcGIS is a very powerful sophisticated program, but it would take me weeks to learn to do some things that maptitude does intuitively.
