Versamap software allows users to create outline maps on 16 different projections, plot great and small circles, and add text to maps. Users can print high-quality maps, and export them in vector and bitmap formats. It also supports plotting user data in a straightforward ASCII format.
One great thing about Versamap is that it comes already supplied with digital maps from the Versamap Micro World Database. This database contains a world map with 220,000 points in 10 geographic features. However, if you're looking for more detailed maps, you can also order them from the World Data Bank II and the USGS Digital Line Graphs, which provide maps with 6 million and 7 million points, respectively.
Versamap enables users to plot their own data in a simple ASCII format as lines or symbols. They can also display labels next to their data points, and add text in any TrueType font. With Versamap, users can plot great circles between user-selected endpoints, and display course and distance at points along the great circle. Users can even print a Great Circle Report listing the course and distance at way points along the great circle, or save the report as a rich text file (RTF). Additionally, Versamap plots small circles around a user-selected point, allowing them to select the number of concentric small circles to be plotted, and the distance between small circles.
Versamap also displays map parameters and scale errors at selected points on the map. Users can print the Map Parameter Report, or save the report as a rich text file (RTF). This software is designed to plot outline maps of large areas, such as countries, states, or continents. However, it may not be suitable for plotting maps of small areas, such as cities. Versamap requires Windows 2000 or higher and has an uninstall option, making it easy for users to remove it from their system if they no longer need it.
Overall, Versamap is an excellent software with many useful features that make it a great choice for creating high-quality maps. Whether you're a professional cartographer or just someone who needs to create maps occasionally, you'll find Versamap to be a valuable tool that is easy to use and produces great results.
