Computer program for plotting distributional data.

[Lander, Nicholas]

An excellent freeware (open source) mapping software is MapWindow,
available at

        http://www.mapwindow.com/

MapWindow is highly customisable by writing plug-ins. Thus it can be
used

        as an alternative desktop GIS
        to distribute data to others
        to develop and distribute custom spatial data analyses

For simple mapping of specimen locality data it is rather like DIVA-GIS.

As suggested by Alec, Manifold is worth every dollar. I am using it now
for
1,5 years and am very satisfied. Further, as botanical institute you can
get
an academic license agreement which includes all additional features and
free upgrades for $245. Check www.georeference.org for more information.
