50% Off Depiction Software During April
David Coursey, N5FDL
Thu, April 21, 2011 at 9:13AM Depiction is a low-end geographic information system (GIS) that attempts to reduce the complexity of such products and dramatically improve usability. In my experience and based on 25 years as a professional software reviewer, it only partially succeeds. Further, my discussions with company people have led me to believe they think they have it all worked out, when clearly they don’t.
Nevertheless, if you are willing to invest a lot of time and are unable to learn how to use a professional product (ERSI’s software is the standard), Depiction does offer useful features, but requires a bit of a learning curve and does not always work as advertised (at least for me).
It is in that spirit and the hope the product will continue to improve, that I note the company offers a 50-percent discount (regularly $199) on its products to volunteers during April, which is national volunteer month. If you purchase, also make sure you buy the appropriate add-ons, including APRS and various icon packs (badly needed) for how you plan to use the software. (I am buying icons).

I, too, am getting frustrated with the amount of content that is now being offered in video form that should just be text.
