MAPIT 2 - World Mapping with something for everyone. Features include:
- View every part of the world at 1:1,000,000 scale, about the same
detail as US state maps.
- Coverage includes coastlines, islands, major and minor lakes, rivers,
ocean bathymetric data, plate boundaries, fracture zones, magnetic
lineations, major roads, railroads, and airports of the world, many
utility lines, US radio and TV towers, national boundaries, first and
second level internal administrative boundaries for many countries
including US counties, and outlines of populated places.
- Databases contain 150,000 US cities, 50,000 international cities,
place names, countries, states and provinces, counties, US ZIP Codes,
many US area codes and telephone exchanges, and international dialing
codes.
- Royalty-free - Import maps into your word processing documents, plot
customized maps.
- Zoom to any level of detail and navigate around the world with
complete flexibility, precision, and ease.
- Record and track information with 100 foot precision. Geocode and
display external data.
- Enter great circles, measure distances, calculate azimuth angles, plot
range curves, and calculate various types of lines-of-sight.
- Track real-time GPS positions with moving markers.
- Simulate, in accelerated real-time, the motion of objects from
user-written scripts. Make orbital predictions for circular motion
corrected for the earth's rotation.
While MAPIT
supports a variety of serious applications for home, school, and fun,
perhaps the most entertaining and impressive is its ability to simulate,
in accelerated real-time, a variety of user-entered data. The web page
includes examples as diverse as real-life Canada Geese migrating south
from Hudson Bay, scheduled US Air traffic into and out of The Greater
Pittsburgh International Airport on a May morning, and orbital
trajectories originating at Cape Kennedy.
