With MapAuthor you can create, print and save desktop maps, using data that you obtain from commercial sources or perhaps your in-hous GIS department as shapefiles (shapefiles are a very common GIS exchange format.) You can also produce internet-based maps based on Google Maps, for use on your web site.
MapAuthor allows you to link your own data to maps, for example if you have a spreadsheet containing your customers' addresses, you can position them on a map. You can also draw your own features on a map, and publish the maps you generate in this way to either desktop maps, which you can print or save as images to embed in for example reports, or you can use MapAuthor to easily produce the HTML code that you need to embed in your web site.
