If you use location-based data — whatever industry or market you’re in — you should be using Vertical Mapper^™. Working seamlessly within MapInfo Professional^®, Vertical Mapper^™ is unmatched as an effective tool to display, manage, and interpret spatial information. Featuring robust spatial analysis capabilities and flexible visualization options, Vertical Mapper^™ lets you turn data into valuable information for making better decisions.

Vertical Mapper^™ Features:
Vertical Mapper^™ includes new functionality and enhancements that help users leverage location-based information. Key features include:

Predictive Analysis Tool - The Predictive Analysis tool will automatically identify areas with statistically similar attributes based on a user-defined test location. For example, the tool can suggest the best locations for additional retail outlets from the selection of an existing high-volume location.

Point Density - Users are given two methods to derive point density, either by square area or kernel smoothing. which indicates the probability of an event recurring in an area.

Correlation Tool - Users can determine relationships between data sets and view the results in tables. This can help users select representative data sets for quicker analysis. Three different options are offered:

• Correlation matrix will display the statistical relationship between input grids
• Grouper function will group statistically similar grids
• Principle component analysis provides analysis of the variance between all grids.

Custom Point Estimation - Users can specify the calculation to be executed on a set of points within a specified radius. The user may select from the following types of calculations:

• Sum of Values
• Minimum Value
• Maximum Value
• Average Value
• Count of Data Points

GRC Reclass - GRC Reclass allows users to modify the class structure of a .GRC file, such as changing class names or merging classes with similar characteristics.

Disk Space - The entire Vertical Mapper^™ program requires approximately 47 MB of free hard disk space. This includes 30 MB of tutorial files.

Monitor - SVGA or higher resolution, high color (16-bit) display is recommended.

Operating Environment - Windows 95/98/NT 4.x is required as the operating system. In terms of system resources, Vertical Mapper^™ does not require additional resources over and above those established for efficient operation of the already installed MapInfo Professional^® program.
