Many ArcGIS® users have expressed an interest in
Edgetech's development plans for the MapSpeller™ extension. To help them
manage their resources and achieve error-free geodatabases and maps,
Edgetech is sharing some of its preliminary development plans here,
which are subject to change without notice.
MapSpeller 3.1
The focus of MapSpeller 3.1 will be its port to
ArcGIS 10.
Because of changes ESRI is making to ArcGIS 10,
prior versions of MapSpeller will not work with ArcGIS 10. As of March
2010, both ArcGIS 10 and MapSpeller 3.1 are under development.
Post-MapSpeller 3.1
Beyond the 3.1 release of MapSpeller, Edgetech
intends on progressively adding support for the following:
- Field names and aliases
- Sharing an organization's Locationary™
among its MapSpeller users
- Using domains as dictionaries
- Using valid file system paths as dictionaries
- Optional French and Spanish language dictionaries
in 2010. Danish, Dutch, Finish, German, Italian, Portuguese,
Brazilian Portuguese, and Swedish should be added later on. Middle
Eastern languages are also under consideration. [Note that
Locationaries can already contain spellings in multiple languages].
- Direct support for map labels
- Direct support for annotation feature
classes (geodatabase annotations).
Edgetech America, Inc. also plans
on commercializing MapSpeller internationally; starting in 2010 with
select countries outside of the U.S.A.
MapSpeller 4.0
Edgetech plans to start integrating MapSpeller
with ArcGIS Server at version 4.0. The first such
