Toronto, ON, September 8, 2009 – Avenza Systems Inc., producers of MAPublisher and MAPublisher LabelPro cartographic software for Adobe Illustrator, Geographic Imager spatial imaging tools for Adobe Photoshop as well as MAPdataUSA, MAPdataCanada and MAPdataWorld royalty-free GIS data sets and Red Geographics, GIS consultants and an Avenza dealer based in The Netherlands, are pleased to announce the release of the MAPublisher Training Videos, a set of training videos produced by Red Geographics for Avenza’s MAPublisher cartographic plug-in for Adobe Illustrator.
“With this set of training videos, users can receive similar high-quality instruction for MAPublisher that is normally available through online or in-class training, but with the advantage of going through it at their own pace and repeating it as desired.” said Hans van der Maarel, owner of Red Geographics. “This will be a great asset for experienced users as well as people who are just starting out with MAPublisher”, he added.
This 5-hour set of videos, with a voice-over in English, is aimed at both novice and experienced MAPublisher users and covers the same amount of material as a 2-day training course. Composed of a series of 12 individual movies addressing all of the MAPublisher functions, including special attention paid to new features such as the new MAP Web Author and MAPublisher LabelPro tools, this DVD bases its instruction upon common, real-life scenarios and includes all supporting dataset.
“We applaud the initiative demonstrated by Red Geographics in creating this video compilation and the highly professional and thorough nature of its presentation.” said Ted Florence, President of Avenza. “The instructional content of these videos provides the perfect self-learning environment for both novice and experienced MAPublisher users alike and is bound to turn anyone into an expert very quickly”, he added.
