Our Women in GIS series, at <a href="/womeningis.asp">http://www.directionsmag.com/womeningis.asp</a>, features an interview with Heidi Whitehill of Scout Geographics.

ESRI has contributed an entire bookshelf - all 12 publications from ESRI Press - to our Contest Area.  Register for this and other contests at <a href="/contests.asp">http://www.directionsmag.com/contests.asp</a>
<p>
The Map Gallery now contains 70 maps, with new additions using ERMapper, Autodesk MapGuide, and Manifold Systems.  I think you'll find many of these provocative, some downright stunning!  The Map Gallery is at <a href="/mapgallery/">http://www.directionsmag.com/mapgallery/</a>
<p>
At our sister publication, MP2K Magazine (<a href="http://www.mp2kmag.com">http://www.mp2kmag.com</a>), you'll find free data downloads from CACI, Claritas and EASI Demographics.
<p>
Today's our anniversary!  We're very proud of our first year, and very grateful for your help in establishing Directions as the authoritative magazine of GIS.  To see where we've come, take a few minutes to review the What's New page at <a href="/default.asp?p=new">http://www.directionsmag.com/default.asp?p=new</a>
<p>
Whether you're new to Directions or have been with us from the beginning, this is an informative (and I hope entertaining) look at our progress.
<p>
Thanks again, and be sure to tell a friend!
<p>
