A demo version, which will randomly replace every letter, is of course available and I would certainly recommend that all MAPublisher users try this out. It is an extra-cost add-on to MAPublisher, but using it on just one big map can already recoup those costs. Since this all happens within Illustrator, the end result is of course fully editable.

Obviously this is not always 100% correct, but it’s fairly obvious that this can save a cartographer many hours of manual text placement. The MAP LabelPro engine uses map data attributes for labeling with styles, rules and controls configured through an intuitive, easy-to-use. LabelPro offers Maplex-like (I’ve never really looked at Maplex, so it’s hard for me to compare them) text placement within Adobe Illustrator. MAPublisher LabelPro revolutionizes the way users can label map data, including using symbols as labels, conflict resolution, and highly configurable rule-based labeling options.
This has been in development for a while, during which I got to play with a beta version, and I’m very pleased to see it’s now finally released. They concerned the release of MAPublisher 8.1 with the LabelPro labelling extension. Quite nice to see! Combined with the fact that the seat next to me was empty and we left 15 minutes early (I wonder if those two things are somehow connected to eachother…), it wasn’t such a bad flight after all.Īfter arriving in Amsterdam I switched on my iPhone and was bombarded by a number of emails coming in from Avenza. This particular system showed major roads (with names/numbers), time zones and the day/night division. One thing I noticed is that the maps in the in-flight entertainment system had been updated. Fortunately, this turned out to be a recently modernized one, so it did have personal in-flight entertainment screens (since I can’t sleep on planes, I dread the idea of a long flight without some sort of entertainment).
So imagine my shock when I saw an old MD-11 at the gate. KLM offers a direct flight on this route, so they are the most obvious choice for me, especially since they tend to use modern Airbus 330’s for their long-haul North America routes. Last Sunday I flew from Vancouver to Amsterdam, on my way home after the FME User Conference.
