IcoMap for ArcGIS Trial Version Available to all GITA Attendees

March 13, 2002 - Madison, WI - UCLID Software today announced that it will distribute a free trial version of the IcoMap extension for ArcGIS at next week's GITA conference. IcoMap is a parcel mapping conversion and maintenance package that works directly with scanned documents to create vector maps. The free trial version offers exactly the same features as found in the shipping version of IcoMap. Copies of the free software will be available at the UCLID Software booth #1425.

"GITA's Annual Conference is such an important event but attendees can become overwhelmed by all of the new technology," explains Bill Winders, UCLID Regional Sales Manager. "We wanted to give them something that they can take home and work with after the conference is over. We're confident that once they use it, they'll immediately see how IcoMap will help them be more efficient and more productive."

Users of IcoMap report that they are able to work much more efficiently on their conversion projects - some customer sites have seen a 300% productivity increase. GIS professionals in local and national government and private industry have all reported significant time savings on their mapping and conversion projects.

These time savings can be traced to IcoMap's patented Text-to-VectorŽ technology. Text-to-Vector is also known as point-n-click COGO because it reads scanned documents, such as legal descriptions and maps, to create COGO-accurate parcel maps though a point and click interface. With the free trial, ArcGIS users can examine this technology using their own documents. The free trial is also available on the UCLID website http://www.uclid.com.

While Text-to-Vector technology makes conversion fast and easy, IcoMap is also a valuable tool for maintaining an accurate parcel layer. Feature editing allows the user to make updates to individual lines and curves without redrawing an entire parcel. This feature makes it extremely easy to update and maintain the parcel layer. And, because the parcels are automatically linked to the source document, it is easy to maintain accountability.

GIS professionals and surveyors have used IcoMap for years on the AutoCAD platform. The IcoMap for ArcGIS product is an extension for ArcMap so users of ArcView, ArcEditor and ArcInfo will be able to use it. IcoMap has received numerous awards, and even claimed the 2001 National New Product Award from the National Society of Professional Engineers.

UCLID Software LLC was founded in March 1998 in Madison, Wisconsin. UCLID develops and distributes the IcoMap product suite to GIS professionals, civil engineers, surveyors, and title insurance professionals. UCLID is an Authorized Business Partner and Authorized Developer for ESRI.
