Maptitude mapping software (www.MappingSoftware.com) allows you to quickly and easily define areas of influence around your locations. In this map, we geek out to Star Wars by showcasing the flexibility of the map customization capabilities of Maptitude. We have:

Used a custom image as the map background

Used a custom image fill style for the Thiessen Polygon / Voronoi Diagram layer

Used a custom font for the city names

Used a custom font icon for the city layer point style

Largest Coffee Chain by County

The 2017 Maptitude Country Packages include an updated point landmark database that includes thousands of retail stores and restaurants, including coffee shops. The map below shows the concentration of coffee shops by county and what the most common chain is in each county. The two largest chains by far are Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts, followed by Tim Hortons, Caribou, and The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Starbucks is predominant in 574 counties and Dunkin Donuts is predominant in 399 counties. Caribou is predominant in its home state of Minnesota and Biggby is predominant around its home city of East Lansing, Michigan. Canadian coffee brewer Tim Hortons is also making some inroads in the Northern United States, especially in border counties.

Maximize space utilization with optimal allocation.

Visualize, map, and manage every gate, kiosk, office, and utility meter with real-time occupancy.

See It. Track It. Bill It. All in One Platform.

AcuSky Space Management gives airports total visibility and control over every gate, counter, kiosk, office, and storage area — fully connected to billing, tenants, and operations.

The Problem Disconnected Maps and Spreadsheets Drain Airport Revenue

Most airports still manage physical space using outdated CAD layers, static PDFs, or manual spreadsheets.

When space changes hands, systems lag behind

When tenants move or expand, billing falls out of sync

Legacy tools can map space — but they cannot manage it.

The Solution Smart Mapping Meets Real-Time Data

AcuSky Space Management brings GIS-ready visualization, real-time occupancy tracking, and billing integration together in one intelligent platform — so every square foot of your airport earns its keep.

Key Capabilities

Digitally map every gate, office, kiosk, and utility meter with real-time occupancy status

Connect each space to its tenant record, lease, and billing history for instant transparency

Assign meters and allocations by space or tenant and automate utility billing through AcuSky ABRM

Visualize usage by terminal, zone, or tenant type to identify under-utilized areas instantly

Store floor plans, lease exhibits, and maintenance files in a version-controlled, searchable repository

AcuSky’s clean, modular architecture ensures:

Long-term stability and scalability

Faster updates without system downtime

Independent modules for mapping, utilities, billing, and analytics that communicate seamlessly

Easy addition of new features, integrations, and data feeds without costly rewrites

Programming is a lot of guidelines, information or projects used to work PCs and execute explicit assignments. Inverse of equipment, which depicts the physical parts of a PC, programming is a nonexclusive term used to allude to applications, contents and projects that sudden spike in demand for a gadget. Programming can be thought of as the variable piece of a PC and equipment the perpetual part.

Programming is regularly separated into application programming, or client downloaded programs that satisfy a need or need, and framework programming, which incorporates working frameworks and any program that supports application programming. The term middleware is in some cases used to depict programming that intercedes among application and framework programming or between two various types of utilization programming. For instance, middleware could be utilized to send a remote work demand from an application in a PC that has one sort of working framework to an application in a PC with an alternate working framework.

An extra classification of programming is the utility, which is a little, helpful program with restricted capacity. A few utilities accompany working frameworks. Like applications, utilities will in general be independently installable and equipped for being utilized autonomously from the remainder of the working framework.

Correspondingly, applets are little applications that occasionally accompany the working framework as embellishments. They can likewise be made autonomously utilizing the Java or other programming dialects. Programming can be bought or gained in the accompanying manners :

Shareware : typically conveyed on a free or preliminary premise with the expectation of offer when the period is finished.

Liteware : a kind of shareware with certain capacities handicapped until the full form is acquired.

Freeware : can be downloaded for nothing however with copyright limitations.

Open space : programming can be downloaded for nothing without limitations.

Open source : a sort of programming where the source codeis outfitted and clients make a deal to avoid constraining the dissemination of upgrades.

Today, a great part of the acquired programming, shareware and freeware is straightforwardly downloaded over the Internet. In these cases, programming can be found on explicit merchant sites or application specialist co-ops. In any case, programming can likewise be bundled on CD-ROMs or diskettes and sold physically to a buyer. Some broad sorts of use programming incorporate :

Profitability programming, which incorporates devices, for example, word processors and spreadsheets.

Introduction programming, otherwise called slideware.

Designs programming.

Computer aided design/CAM.

Vertical marketor industry-explicit programming, for instance, banking, protection and retail applications.
