AWhere, Inc.

We get a lot of questions regarding data availability for AWhere.  What is not immediately realized is that AWhere uses the same standard GIS data formats available around the web.  Data may be in the form of boundary shapefiles, feature points, latitude and longitude, spreadsheets, ...

Hi, I am happy to see you found a solution.  You can also export emf files directly from AWhere using one of two methods:  1. Use the ''Copy'' button in the tool bar.  Currently it is set as ''Copy [Map] as [bitmap]'', but you can change ''bitmap'' to ''metafile'' which will create a vector image in the clipboard.  You can ...

AWhere is an excellent mapping platform for generating and distributing maps quickly, but we have ahd a lot of interest in importing and exporting for Google Maps/Earth using the special spatial format known as KML.  Presently, AWhere does not have built in functionalilty to import and export KML files.  If the desire is to see your ...

Can AWhere run on an Apple Mac?  Well, yes, under certain conditions.  These conditions are dependent on how you wish to use AWhere on your Mac.  Will you need to bring maps from AWhere into a Mac Application?  Is speed and performance an issue?  There are a few options for the Mac user who needs to quickly create maps ...

One of the first things you will need to do after starting up the AWhere application to work on a given mapping project is to load some basic map layers into the interface…at minimum, so that you have one or more spatial reference layers for the area of interest you are working with, or maybe you need to load a map layer to which you want to ...

Many AWhere users do not want to be limited or restricted to working only with map layers of existing political boundaries (e.g. states, counties, districts, etc).  They want to create their own (customized) map layers that show delineated boundaries specific to their needs, such as a company’s sales territories (e.g. a ‘sales territory’ ...

I wanted to add to the above forum post regarding editing the legend.  There is another option for editing the appearance of the legend outside of AWhere (you can edit the map image in this way, too).  So, for this method, you have to have exported an image of the legend (and/or map) to an image file…specifically, as a Windows metafile ...

Any data that you collect using a GPS unit can be brought into AWhere, and viewed in map form via AWhere's 'Import Coordinates' Add-in (if the output of the GPS unit is a table or coordinates and their associated attributes).  Some GPS units can actually output a 'shapefile', and a shapefile can be brought into AWhere via the 'Add ...
