MapCreator 2.0

MapCreator combines a cartography and a graphics programme. The software is designed to create maps and animated maps of the highest quality as often required for presentations. For example, this could be maps needed for a travel presentation. But also in other cases, where a map is needed, which should present the essential information in a professional manner, MapCreator is the right choice. Convince yourself about MapCreator by looking at some sample maps and animations. Or test MapCreator Free Edition.

Flexible map creation
MapCreator does not contain a map collection, but a map generator. Map collections present a problem in that usually none of the maps included exactly fits your requirements. One or several of the map properties (map extract, map size, map type, bodies of water, borders, colours, visible towns, size and type of labelling ?) are not quite as you envisage. In MapCreator on the other hand, the maps are generated from the integrated geo-database. All map properties can be adjusted independently of each other.

Editing maps
Maps generated can, as customary in traditional graphics programmes, be edited further. Map objects (towns, labels, symbols, pictures and routes) can be added, changed or removed. The size, position, colour, style, transparency and various 3D effects of the map objects can be edited. Much importance was attached to making the drawing in of visually attractive routes very easy. Data available in table form can be imported. The map created can be saved in the usual picture formats (TIF, BMP, JPG, PNG, ?).

Map animation
Various animations can be produced from the maps created. This could be e.g. a progressing route, the fading in and out of map objects or a flight over a larger map. The time course is here freely adjustable. The animations can be saved in Video(AVI)-format, for integration in a video film and in Flash(SWF)-format for the representation of an animation on an Internet page.
