Download Free Open Source Map Layers Add-In for Maptitude

This tool creates maps of the whole world or for almost all countries.

• The Download Free Layers Add-In provides easy access to no-cost web-based data-sources.

These data are converted to the standard Caliper geographic format (.dbd) and added to default maps. Attractive and compelling styles are automatically applied, allowing you to quickly create presentation quality maps of your area of interest.
