Unfortunately, I am constantly bombarded with pop-ups indicating license issues. Apparently this program conflicts with a data processing application I use.

Excellent review! In your conclusion you mention that “…for higher level environmental and geoscientific analysis you might want to look elsewhere – SAGA GIS, QGIS and Esri ArcGIS come to mind …”.

I teach ArcGIS and QGIS along with Maptitude and TransCAD. QGIS is quite good but has almost no network GIS capabilities. ArcGIS is the worst boondoggle of all! The network analyst is loosely coupled so that if you want to change a network you have to do it in ArcCatalog from scratch. GIS is about distance, topology, spatial grouping and display.

For over two years now, on almost daily basis, Maptitude has been my GIS software and in my capacity as a logistics consultant I have all functionality that it takes to perform anything from simple visualisations to extensive analysis and network restructuring. High quality and actual HERE maps, a huge amount of tools and themes and easy to learn. On top of this several third party add-ins are available to add just the extra “logistics” touch to this great software.
