SimplyMap
http://simplymap.com/index.php

SimplyMap is an Internet-based mapping application that enables users to develop interactive thematic maps and reports using thousands of demographic, business, and marketing data variables. Professional mapping applications take over 20 hours of training to use, but we have designed SimplyMap to be incredibly user friendly - most users are up and running with less than 10 minutes of training. There is some training required in order to understand a few concepts related to mapping, so it is highly recommend that users watch a 6 minute training video to get the most out of SimplyMap. The training video can be accessed by clicking on the "Tutorial" link in the top right corner of SimplyMap. The following two documents will help introduce users to this database: SimplyMap Quick Reference Card and SimplyMap Getting Started Guide. This database is IP authenticated for 5 concurrent users.  ON-CAMPUS ONLY or VPN

                          This trial will be available until November  7th, 2008.
