Dear Reader,<p>

This week's mail is a bit late, because I've just returned from covering the annual ESRI User Conference in San Diego. Over the past four years this conference has grown to become the largest in the GIS industry. We published daily coverage from the 
Conference:<p>

Monday: <A href="http://www.directionsmag.com/article.asp?ArticleID=25">http://www.directionsmag.com/article.asp?ArticleID=25</A><br>

Tuesday: <A href="http://www.directionsmag.com/article.asp?ArticleID=27">http://www.directionsmag.com/article.asp?ArticleID=27</A><br>

Wednesday: <A href="http://www.directionsmag.com/article.asp?ArticleID=28">http://www.directionsmag.com/article.asp?ArticleID=28</A><p>

In a commendably strong and positive response to our Wish List Directory, Andrew Dressel, a founder of MapInfo and currently director of the MapInfo Professional product line, granted two of that products leading wishes! Andy sent us tools developed in MapBasic which we've made available for readers to download. Read Andy's submission at <A href="http://www.directionsmag.com/article.asp?ArticleID=26">http://www.directionsmag.com/article.asp?ArticleID=26</A>.<p>

In further Wish List news, Dimitri Rotow of Manifold Systems sent an email to his customers in which he promised to base a portion of his company's development efforts on the wishes of Directions readers. An excerpt from Dimitri's message is at <A href="http://www.directionsmag.com/Scoop.asp?ScoopID=11">http://www.directionsmag.com/Scoop.asp?ScoopID=11</A>.<p>

Remember, the main Wish List Directory is at <A href="http://www.directionsmag.com/wishlist.asp">http://www.directionsmag.com/wishlist.asp</A>.<p>

Thanks for reading Directions Magazine, and be sure to tell a 
friend.<p>
