Comparison Chart Created for Property Mapping Software Products less than $500

Nashville, Tennessee (PRWEB) December 30, 2011

During a recent customer follow-up survey, Alta Software Tools, Inc., producer of Map My Land™ property mapping software, discovered their customer’s number one purchasing problem. According to co-founder and partner, Trevor Evans, “Our customers complained about how difficult it was to find property mapping software products for less than $500 and then to be able to analyze and compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges.”

To solve the problem, several customers suggested a product comparison chart that not only showed the main companies but also compared major benefits, features and prices.

Alta Software Tools, Inc. listened and subcontracted computer consultant, Peter Marshall, to create a product comparison chart. He chose the following five mapping software products:

· Map My Land™

· Net Deed Plotter®

· MapDraw Deed Mapper

· Plat Pronto

· Deed-Chek™

The preliminary chart results are located on the MapMyLand™ blog at: http://mapmyland.blogspot.com/p/comparing-property-mapping-software.html. Mr. Marshall's final report is expected to be ready for release by January 31, 2012.

In response to the preliminary results Evans said, “While we may be the new kid on the block, we are obviously raising the bar with the best benefit/cost ratio for property mapping software products.”

Printing Maps on One Page or a Plotter--

2011-12-05T10:03:00.001-05:00

The Alta Software Tools support team recently discovered a printing issue with Microsoft Windows that affects Map My Land as well as other programs you may have on your computer.

Until recently, a user had the option of choosing a printer within their application software before clicking the Print selection. This allowed the user to be able to choose between printers that allow you to print on different sizes of paper.

For example, say the printer you normally use (default printer) prints on paper sized only up to 8.5 x 14. You have another printer you use for special printing that prints to larger sizes of paper (such as 11 x 17 or even 17 x 22). With changes in Windows, you must now change your default printer in order to have access to the larger sized paper options.

The current solution for Map My Land printing is to change the default printer. Go to Start->Devices and Printers. Right-click on your mouse and then click on "Set as default printer" to make the printer. The default printer will now be recognized in the Page Settings in Map My Land and will allow you to print on the sizes allowed by that printer.

Map My Land is working on a better solution to this Microsoft issue. We will keep you posted.

Press Release - October 15, 2011 – Nashville, Tennessee - Alta Software Tools, Inc. Customers Discover Unique Applications for Property Mapping Software

2011-11-01T17:07:00.003-04:00

“Last year when Alta Software Tools, Inc. released Map My Land ™ property mapping software, we had no idea of some of the applications our customers would come up with” according to co-founder and partner, Trevor Evans. “We knew our biggest marketing challenge would be convincing over 200,000,000 property owners
why they needed to spend $79 for property mapping software and why they needed to spend 20 minutes learning how to use it.”

Much to their surprise, property and home owners have used the software in many ways including:

Verifying metes and bounds or distances and bearings in their property deeds
Printing map transparencies to overlay and quickly find errors on tax maps
Checking distances and acreages in MLS listings before buying property
Discovering closure errors and discrepancies in their own property survey as well as adjoining property surveys

Real estate agents, their second largest market, use the software to protect buyers by verifying the distances and acreages in the seller’s MLS listing as well as advertising their own listings with the property boundaries overlaid on Google Earth™.

Evans said “While not a large market, the real surprise application is genealogists using Map My Land™ to show the property divisions of a family’s land or farm over a period of time. It appears that there is no limit to our customers’ applications.”

Alta Software Tools, Inc continues to expand its product by listening to its customers’ ideas. A free software upgrade with add-ons for forestry, maple-sugar stands, and agricultural fields is scheduled for early next year. When it comes to protecting your property investment, Map My Land™ provides you with information you can trust.
