Map Maker

Abstract

This report describes the application of the MAP MAKER program for PCs to produce maps of user defined areas and projections, for insertion in word processor documents. A graphics package can be used as an intermediate process, with all the advantages so implied. Options include map delimitation by latitude and longitude, level of detail, creation of reduced data set files to speed map production, some point annotation capability, and gridding. A number of data sets provided with the program are also described.
