Plainsboro, New Jersey - March 29, 2006

SmartLabel has been developed by MapText specifically for MapInfo users who want to create maps of high cartographic and aesthetic quality from within MapInfo Professional. The software seamlessly integrates with MapInfo and its easy-to-understand user interface allows users to set up customized labeling rules within minutes.

"MapText is looking forward to a fruitful relationship with Mitchell Geographics. Our common goal is to provide MapInfo users with easy-to-use tools to create maps of the highest cartographic and aesthetic quality," Rishi Mehra, MapText's Head of Sales and Business Development, commented.

Map labeling and related finishing work is key to communicating with effective and aesthetically pleasing maps.  Finish cartography in a GIS environment is a challenge and can be very time consuming, and specialty productivity tools such as SmartLabel can boost the efficiency of your work and the value of your GIS platform.

"As a hands-on MapInfo power user for over a decade I have had the opportunity to work with numerous specialty add-ons that expand the capabilities of this robust mapping platform.  As a vendor, we select best-in-class tools to supplement our MapInfo offerings, and SmartLabel makes the cut by bringing the always tricky art of map annotation to a new level for the MapInfo user. We're excited to join this program and look forward to bringing SmartLabel to MapInfo users in the Northeast and beyond," Mitchell Geographics President, Will Mitchell, commented.
