Scanned maps are easier to convert
The latest release of IcoMap for ArcGIS has been fine-tuned for GIS professionals who work with scanned maps.
The Map Conversion module preserves survey-measurement accuracy, while providing the speed of digitization.
"IcoMap's any-angle text recognition technology is incredible.
It has revolutionized digital parcel mapping and answers the needs of the GIS community," said Curt Szymanski, President and CEO of UCLID.
"It's an exciting development for us." IcoMap's new feature, the MCR Text Viewer, was designed for files that have been typed and saved in an ASCII text file or word processor format.
The MCR Text Viewer will parse out and highlight all of the mathematical data such as bearings, distances, and curve information instantly.
Users can then redraw the parcel by clicking on the highlighted text for bearings, distances, and appropriate curve information.
IcoMap V3.0 users have the ability to draw on multiple layers.
Users can apply IcoMap's draw commands on any of the layers they create.
Using IcoMap 's MCR, COGO, and digitization tools, users can draw easements, road centerlines, or building footprints all on separate layers.
IcoMap V3.0 offers a Closure Report function that lists all of the bearing and distances comprising a parcel.
The report also provides northing and easting information of the closure error, closure precision, and other parcel metadata.
"I am thrilled with the advancements we've made with IcoMap V3.0," added Szymanski.
"We have designed a customized product that incorporates the very functions and flexibility that GIS professionals need, while maintaining an affordable price." Designed for title insurance professionals, surveyors, utility companies, and GIS professionals, IcoMap eliminates the tedium and intense labor involved in data conversion.
IcoMap quickly and easily transforms land records into survey-accurate digital files that are easily managed and accessed.
