CARTOGRAPHICA UPDATE

I will follow-up on this post and provide an update of my experiences with the software and the developer if/when I've made the switch from using a handful of free applications to get my GIS workflow processes completed, to using only the this application(paid). and as evidenced by the developer's rapid development, this will likely be much sooner then later(I hope!). I have not yet purchased a license, but intend on doing so shortly, when I am confident I can accomplish everything in Cartographica, that I am currently accomplishing using a handful of different applications, such as uDig, QGIS, and OpenJump. similar to how my experience has thus far transpired, and assuming it is in-line with the developer's overall vision/direction, and programming(man hours) wherewithal. It seems to me that if any of you may be reading this post, and considering downloading and using this software, now is a good time to do so(early in the development cycle), so you can put in your two cents towards how you think this software should function, thus perhaps having some influence over it's GUI, functionality, and toolkit, perhaps helping you end up with a GIS desktop application that in fact serves your specific needs. I started using Cartographica about 1 month ago, and since that time I have likely filed 30-40 bug reports and feature requests, ranging from mild to medium bugs, to advanced WFS functionality, and with the exception of some of the more difficult and time consuming fixes/implementations, the developer has promptly addressed the lion's share of them, and has done so in a very timely manner, with the end results actually working/satisfying the request(s).

I also use Safe FME, which is a paid application(and expensive to boot), but it is Windows based, and thus I must run Parallels in order to use it, plus it is a rather difficult application to master imho. Although at this point in time, Cartographica is unable to provide the same functionality as the other applications that I currently use, I trust that within a very short period of time(several weeks/few months), it will posses the functionality, features, and toolkit that will allow me to move to using it, instead of remaining using the curent applications I depend on, which are uDig, QGIS, OpenJump, and Merkaartor. This is a wonderful new application, and the developer is extremely responsive to bug reports and feature requests. Intelligent projection management-tell Cartographica what CRS your data is in and it will do the rest.WMS and WFS support for retrieving geospatial data over the internet from web map and web feature servers.Adobe Illustrator export including imagery, maps, scales, and legends.Superb Google Maps and Google Earth export using our proprietary KML exporter.Geocoding to convert addresses into map data.Synchronized data/map browsing-see your data on the map and in a table simultaneously.Prevasive undo support, so you can safely try any operation.Direct editing to add or modify data by hand.Flexible styles to show your data in an easy-to-understand way.
