• | GIS Capabilities - QuickMap lets you incorporate a variety of GIS capabilities into your business information. Points, lines, polygons and texts can be added directly into QuickMap using drawing tools, or from a relational database. Alternatively, data can be exported out in a number of standard formats, which includes DXF, for integration into CAD applications. You can also make the maps look how you want by changing colour schemes, line thickness text sizes etc. |

• | 3D - Flythrough Capability - With or without air photo’s, the 3D Flythrough is still pretty neat. Just turn on the information you want to see in 3D and away you go. Create your own map including data you have just added, and then fly around it in 3D. |
