Have you ever been frustrated when you needed to think about....
Travel-Time and Customer Access?
Determining Visual Exposure?
Determining Proximity?
Mapping Surface Flows and Pooling?
Identifying Areas of Similar Data Pattern?
MapCalc Learner is Red Hen's first step to bring raster spatial analysis to
the MapInfo and other GIS communities. As a "learner" offering, its pricing
and features are aimed at those wanting to learn about spatial GIS raster
(grid) analysis. A "Professional" version will be coming in several months.
Our hope is many schools, adult educational efforts, and home/office
learners will make good use of it.
The Learner is an updating of Dr Joseph Berry's pMAP, a legacy DOS system
(no its older than that - from card deck days and character themed mapping)
used in a number of GIS courses at universities over the years. The Learner
is limited to 100x100 grids (10,000 cells) and only needs a field (analysis
domain) boundary and point samples - either dense (like yield maps or remote
sensing values) or sampled (like soil or crime statistics). It is
compatible with either MapInfo TAB files or ESRI SHP files as well as having
cross-integration to Golden's SURFER software via their GRD format. Oh and
for you aggies, it also builds AgLeader 3000 control files when you are
ready!

The Free WEB download is only good for two weeks at a time and does not
include Dr. Berry's spatial thinking tutorials. The price for the Learner
CD with Dr. Berry's spatial thinking tutorials is $21.95 and it may be
ordered via 970-493-3952.
MapCalc Learner offers the MapInfo community an opportunity to really get
into issues of data exploration as well as spatial analysis leading to
better GIS description/prescription - be it telecom, crime analysis, optimal
location, or your spatial interests. It also has a macro/scripting feature
so if you use a "standard" data design, users of those data designs will be
able to trade macros/scripts. Personally I will "roll my own" and share
them. Will MapCalc get better? Certainly, given time and your interest.

PS - For those of you who are ESRI Spatial Analysts you may find that
MapCalc is far easier to use as well as being just as powerful. It's over
thirty spatial operators are also COM (plug-in) compliant for you developer
nerds. MapX'ers Unite!
