'Family Atlas' is the fun and easy way to map your family history.
Trace your ancestors migration around the world and pinpoint the sites
of important family events. Import your family data directly from your
genealogy software, then automatically add markers to create
personalized maps. Print maps or save them to several graphics formats. This is an ideal way to get other family members interested ... graphically show them where the family came from!
See Your Family in a Global Perspective
Family Atlas makes creating custom family maps fun and easy. You start
with an interactive world map that you can scroll or zoom in and out
of. You can choose from spherical (like a globe you can spin), or flat
maps like Cartesian or Mercator. As you zoom in you will see more
detail (like state and county boundaries).
Family Atlas lets you import your family data directly from RootsMagic
or other genealogy software, and then create markers based on that
data. When places are imported or entered by hand, Family Atlas
automatically geocodes the place by matching it against the 3.5 million
name world place database included with Family Atlas.
Add Markers to Pinpoint Events and Track Migrations
Family Atlas lets you add your own sets of custom markers to the map.
For example, you could create a red triangle marker for places where
your direct ancestors were born, or a green circle where anyone with
the surname Jones was buried. Markers make it easy to visually see
migrations or clusters in your family data. You can create unlimited
sets of markers which can be hidden or displayed with a simple checkbox.
Family Atlas also lets you add sets of markers by hand, meaning you can
create maps even without importing your genealogy data. So you can
create custom sets of markers like "Civil War Battles" or "Our Vacation
Spots". You can use both hand entered and data-based markers on
the same map.
Publish Customized Maps
Customize your maps by adding lines, text, pictures, bubble pointers,
titles, legends and more. Select the shapes, colors, and fonts of
your annotations. You can even save your customized maps so that you
can open and edit or print them later. And when you are ready to make
your map available for others, Family Atlas lets you print your maps,
or save them to PDF or other popular graphics formats. It's never
been easier to create completely custom maps.
Powerful Tools
Family Atlas also provides powerful tools like the Gazetteer, Nearby
Places list and Coordinate Converter. Enter a place (or a part of a
place) and Family Atlas will display a list of matches from its 3.5
million name place database. You can even choose a place from the list
and ask Family Atlas to show you the exact location of that place on
the map. Or you can select a place and have Family Atlas show all the
events from your database that are within a certain distance of that
place. Imagine being able to say something like "Show me a list of all
events in my database which happened within 25 miles of Quinlan, Texas".
