Caliper®’s Maptitude® product was brought to my attention in September 2014, when I was looking for an alternative for MapPoint. Since then I have used the program in my work as a logistics consultant on many projects both in Europe and in the USA and would recommend it to anyone who is in need of a professional, yet not complicated desktop GIS system. The display options allow to incorporate Bing, Open Street or Google maps; extra map layers for a wide range of countries can be imported via a built in download free layers add-in. A Translate Menus: (Dutch) Add-In creates a short-cut on your desktop to run Maptitude® with the menu items translated to Dutch.

Maptitude® offers a wide range of standard features and powerful analysis tools; complemented with the special tools provided by Mapping-Tools .com allowing to batch calculate mileages and to execute cluster analysis, Maptitude® provides an easy accessible professional GIS application.

Author works as a logistics consultant in the Netherlands, focusing on supply chain projects, e.g. delivery network restructuring, location analysis and building Excel models to analyse logistics projects and visualize the results in Maptitude®.
