IcoMap V3.0 for Building Survey-Accurate Basemaps Now Available
Madison, WI – UCLID Software, the industry leader in land records
modernization technology, today announced the release of IcoMap V3.0, a
complete solution for accurately converting paper maps, deeds, and legal
descriptions into digital maps. This latest version of the IcoMap Product
Suite is the ideal tool for converting paper land records into basemaps
suitable for a GIS.
As part of the IcoMap V3.0 Product Suite, UCLID introduces the Map
Conversion module which utilizes the only text recognition engine in the
world that can process text displayed at any angle. The Map Conversion
module makes digital parcel mapping easy and fast. With the help of IcoMap’
s patented MCR technology, the unique text strings found in parcel maps can
be instantly converted to vectors with the point and click of the mouse.
The Map Conversion module preserves survey-measurement accuracy, while
providing the speed of digitization.
“IcoMap’s any-angle text recognition technology is incredible. It has
revolutionized digital parcel mapping and answers the needs of the GIS
community,” said Curt Szymanski, President and CEO of UCLID. “It’s an
exciting development for us.”
IcoMap’s new feature, the MCR Text Viewer, was designed for files that have
been typed and saved in an ASCII text file or word processor format. The
MCR Text Viewer will parse out and highlight all of the mathematical data
such as bearings, distances, and curve information instantly. Users can
then redraw the parcel by clicking on the highlighted text for bearings,
distances, and appropriate curve information.
IcoMap V3.0 users have the ability to draw on multiple layers. Users can
apply IcoMap’s draw commands on any of the layers they create. Using IcoMap
’s MCR, COGO, and digitization tools, users can draw easements, road
centerlines, or building footprints all on separate layers.
IcoMap V3.0 offers a Closure Report function that lists all of the bearing
and distances comprising a parcel. The report also provides northing and
easting information of the closure error, closure precision, and other
parcel metadata.
“I am thrilled with the advancements we’ve made with IcoMap V3.0,” added
Szymanski. “We have designed a customized product that incorporates the very
functions and flexibility that GIS professionals need, while maintaining an
affordable price.”
Designed for title insurance professionals, surveyors, utility companies,
and GIS professionals, IcoMap eliminates the tedium and intense labor
involved in data conversion. IcoMap quickly and easily transforms land
records into survey-accurate digital files that are easily managed and
accessed.
