After several months of deliberation, Paperless Trail decided to upgrade their GIS tools to MapInfo V10.  There were a number of factors contributing to this decision. However, after detailed study of the alternatives, Paperless Trail concluded that MapInfo still represents the best combination of functionality, compatibility, and ease of use. These factors, plus the widespread use of MapInfo by the minerals exploration sector, and Paperless Trail’s need for a reliable platform for GIS production, were the major drivers behind our decision.
