You should consider MAPublisher with Illustrator. It is duely Mac and
Windows compliant. Imports AND exports most major GIS data formats,
effectively turns Illustrator into a GIS and is far more functional and
powerful than Canvas. Plus, because it works on Illustrator you get the
power of the world's top vector graphics app working with you and for
you. MAPublisher is used on the Mac side by the USGS and NPS as well as
many other major institutions around the world.
see www.mapublisher.com or call 800-884-2555 for details
