Canvas GIS Advanced (Mac)

The CANVAS 9 Advanced GIS Mapping Edition is a software product that provides a wide range of capabilities for users who work with Geographic Information System (GIS) data. With the software's extensive native support for GIS data, users can perform a variety of functions, such as taking measurements in geographic coordinates, importing industry standard SHAPE and GeoTIFF files into unlimited numbers of overlapping layers, and selecting from a wide range of options related to coordinate reference systems, operation methods, map projections, geodetic datums, angular units, and length units.

One of the key benefits of the CANVAS 9 Advanced GIS Mapping Edition is that it bridges the gap between dedicated GIS analysis software and generic "DTP" software. This makes it an ideal option for users who do not have access to or do not require specialized GIS analysis software, as it can often replace such programs at a lower cost. However, for those who do have dedicated GIS analysis software, the CANVAS 9 GIS Mapping Edition can be used as a "last mile" publishing companion.

In addition to these capabilities, the CANVAS 9 Advanced GIS Mapping Edition supports a wide range of file formats, including MapInfo, ARC/INFO, USGS Digital Line Graphs, TIGER (Census), MrSID (Win. only), GML (Geography Markup Language), SDTS (USGS Spatial Data Transfer Standard), GIS Text, Garmin (GPS), ECW (Enhanced Compressed Wavelet Images), and S57 (IHO International Hydrographic Organization). Overall, the CANVAS 9 Advanced GIS Mapping Edition is a powerful and versatile software product that is well-suited for a wide range of GIS data-related tasks.
