Recently Added Files
CodeTopo
CodeTopo enables automated map creation from structured lists of data. Designed to streamline repetitive cartographic tasks, it reduces manual drafting and improves efficiency in thematic map production.
TatukGIS Coordinate Conversion Calculator
Developed by TatukGIS Coordinate Conversion Calculator, this free utility provides interactive point coordinate transformations. Users can convert geographic coordinates between projection systems quickly and accurately, making it ideal for spatial reference adjustments.
TatukGIS Free Viewer
TatukGIS Free Viewer is recognized as one of the most capable free desktop GIS viewers available. It supports numerous spatial data formats and offers advanced visualization tools without licensing costs.
DateWidget 0.25
A GPLv3-licensed utility designed for use with Maptitude, DateWidget assists in date transformation and formatting within GIS datasets. It simplifies temporal data handling in spatial analysis workflows.
Cluster Contiguous 0.2
This macro identifies contiguous polygon groups within a dataset and assigns identifiers to each connected cluster. It is particularly useful in regional analysis and adjacency studies.
Copy Annotation 0.3
An add-in that enables copying of annotation objects—including freehand text and drawings—within mapping environments. It improves editing flexibility during cartographic refinement.
Area and Perimeter 0.3
A paired add-in package allowing users to calculate area and perimeter values directly from selected spatial features. It simplifies geometry measurement without external processing tools.
Point Coordinates 0.3
This toolbox captures coordinate values as users click map locations, automatically copying them for documentation or external use.
Azimuth 0.3
Calculates both azimuth and length for freehand line segments within a map. It supports directional analysis and field survey validation.
Xtract
Extracts raster grid values to overlying point features. The user can define extraction parameters, enabling attribute enrichment from surface datasets.
