Grid Imp 2.2

Grid Imp - imports gridded data into MS-MapPoint, to produce attractive data maps.
Can handle imperfect data, holes, re-gridding, etc. Can be used to import such attributes as pollution data, seismic hazard, geological information, customer/population distribution, etc.
Grid Imp is a software that allows you to import data and produce maps.
Various text formats supported using space, tab, or comma separators. Data must be addressed using longitude, latitude coordinates.
Features:
- Display data that is on gridded coordinates, rather than addresses or zip-codes.
- Add a greater range of attractive displays to MapPoint.
- Greater flexibility of colors than standard MapPoint maps and charts.
- Tolerance for missing data.
- Plot data at a different resolution to that of the input file.
- Plot data for any point in the World, unconstrained by the MapPoint edition being used.
- No need to upgrade from 2002: Works with both the 2002 and 2004 editions of MapPoint.
- Works with text files exported by Excel, Access, and many other applications.
- Data points are indexed by longitude and latitude coordinates - ie. as used by GPS systems and cartographers.
- Can re-grid data for a smoother display.
- Support for data holes: keep them or interpolate across them!
- Support for a variety of different text files including space, tab, and comma separated types.
- Polygon-reduction algorithm to speed MapPoints rendering of the final display.
- Design and re-use your own colormaps.
- Walk-through tutorials.
Enhancements:
- Support for Ordnance Survey Grid References;
- Support for custom linear grids;
- support for existing map files;
- ability to force MapPoint garbage collection for large maps (reduces MapPoints memory requirements, and increases speed).
