Welcome To MapInfo-Training.co.uk
This website is maintained by Acuity Training as a blog site for us to post MapInfo related content.
MapInfo is the leading desktop mapping and geographic information system (GIS) software program. It allows geographic relationships within data to be simply visualised and displayed. It is used to edit and display data on maps and to carry out spatially related geographic analysis.
Acuity offers a variety of MapInfo training courses. The most popular is a our Introductory MapInfo course. Over two days this aims to introduce delegates to the majority of the functionality that MapInfo offers and to give them plenty of chances to practice the techniques themselves. Our aim is to ensure that everyone leaving our introductory course is a relaxed and confident user of MapInfo. Obviously you can't learn all of MapInfo in two days and we do offer more advanced training as well as bespoke training courses where people have very specific requirements that they would like to focus on. Please get in touch with us if you would like to know more. We provide training courses at our centres in Guildford, London, and Manchester. Also we frequently provide training at our customers' sites.

In addition to MapInfo training, Acuity Training offers a wide variety of training courses including Microsoft Excel training and Adobe training courses.
MapInfo Background:
It was the first desktop mapping application on the market and launched in 1986. It is now the industry leading GIS software program and has a very broad range of applications including:
§ Map Creation and Editing – Users the ability to edit, move, rotate and resize maps. This includes the ability to use the software to create custom maps which are limited by specific boundaries set by the user. For example, a business could create a custom map to show where all of its client's are based using their addresses and post codes, or a map showing where all of their clients based in a specific area (eg county) are based.
§ Geographic Analysis – This uses data and geographic information to identify specific geographic areas. For example which areas would be best to focus a marketing campaign on, or to determine the best location for a specific building for example on office building as the software will allow local transport links, population density, working location, local facilities and other items to be taken into account in the decision making process.
Famously it was used to organise the torch relay for the Sydney Olympic Games. It was used to create hundreds of maps which showed a route covering 16,740 miles and passing through over 1,000 towns. Over the course of it's 100 days the relay went within a one-hour drive of over 85% of the Australian population.
