Press Release

Cadcorp writes user guide for OS MasterMap

Cadcorp, the developer of the popular Cadcorp SIS - Spatial Information System range of Windows based GIS software will be supplying an additional software manual to British users of Cadcorp SIS V6 that focuses exclusively on OS MasterMap.

Cadcorp has already announced powerful, yet low cost solutions for both big and small customers using OS MasterMap. The latest version of Cadcorp SIS, V6 offers both direct loading of OS MasterMap data 'chunks' without recourse to translation, plus user controllable bulk loading of OS MasterMap to relational databases and change-only update management via a utility called the Cadcorp SIS OS MasterMap Data Loader.

In order to grow customer awareness and smooth the transition from OS Land-Line to OS MasterMap, Cadcorp recently embarked upon documenting many issues that are integral to understanding and using this sophisticated new digital map product. The resulting new manual is entitled the 'Cadcorp Guide to Ordnance Survey MasterMap'.

Subjects covered in this illustrated guide include: data format, supply, storage of OS MasterMap, using OS MasterMap in Cadcorp SIS, change-only update, plus a final section entitled 'measuring up to Ordnance Survey'. This answers the very same questions published and recommended by Ordnance Survey for prospective OS MasterMap users to ask of their software vendor.

About Cadcorp SIS

Cadcorp SIS - Spatial Information System - is a suite of Windows-based and Web-enabled end user and developer digital mapping and geographic information system (GIS) software products. The desktop suite comprises: Map Viewer, which provides support for over 50 graphic and data formats, thematics and hard copy; Map Manager, which provides the mainstream user the ability to view, explore, query, symbolise and print digital map and associated tabular data; Map Editor, which in addition to the facilities provided by Map Manager, provides the GIS data custodian with tools to view, manage and edit map and tabular data; and Map Modeller, which adds 3D modelling, terrain analysis and several thematic and analytic mapping tools.

ActiveX based developer toolkits and Viewer, Manager and Modeller based runtime licences are popular products for the development and implementation of bespoke applications by third parties that take advantage of Cadcorp’s GIS know-how.

Cadcorp SIS MasterMap Loader is supplied with Map Modeller for the loading and management of OS MasterMap data in relational databases.
