Ohio Pen/10332634

NEWTON, Mass. - OhioPen -- You have probably seen a Maptitude map without knowing it. The data behind recent headlines on America's best fast-food burger, the map of Massachusetts' remarkable Dunkin' density, the study that found Montana is obsessed with motorcycles: all were built with Maptitude, the business mapping software that companies large and small use to design sales territories, plan routes, and choose store locations. Today, Caliper released Maptitude 2026, its fastest and most capable version yet:

• Rebuilt map engine: Maps pan up to 5.8 times faster.
• AI-powered Maptitude Online wizard: Lets users ask for data in plain English and automatically builds the map for them.

Maptitude turns spreadsheets and location data into maps that drive decisions. Retailers, logistics teams, banks, hospitals, and government agencies use it to see their data on a map and act on what they find.
