AGIS appears to be for broad scale mapping – is fine scale (e.g. city, city block) mapping possible?
Yes. The scale of AGIS maps can be from 100:1 to 300,000,000:1, which means that you could use it to map the positions of furniture in your house right up to positions across the world – on one map if you wanted to! The only requirement is that you would need to find a source for the information that you would like to plot, or digitize it yourself somehow. If you wanted to make a map of e.g. your farm, you could obtain an aerial photo, scan it and use a public domain utility such as windig to convert the scanned image into lines and polygons that AGIS can plot. See the AGIS on-line help file for more information on creating map files.
