This add-in allows a user to copy annotations (freehand text; freehand curved text; freehand shapes, lines, and curves; freehand symbols; freehand bitmaps; and north arrows [maps only]) from one Maptitude map to another or from one layout to another.
- You can copy annotations from map to map or from layout to layout, but not from layout to map (or vice-versa).
- You cannot copy maps from layout to layout. You also cannot copy map legends; these are tied to their parent maps.
- Annotations copied from map to map will appear in the same spot on the world (as opposed to the same spot on-screen). The copy will be a different size if the scales of the two maps differ.

Is it time for a global licensing framework for geospatial data? The GSDI Legal and Economic Working group thinks so and offered a presentation and a way forward at the GSDI 13 conference held in Quebec City in May. The effort aims to harmonize existing licensing without changing fundamental access policies and funding models and be compatible with the diferences in national legal systems. That's a tall order, but an important one as the world moves toward geodata sharing. Geoff Zeiss reports.
