Product Description:

anAtlas's primary goal is to help you quickly locate places on Earth. anAtlas will retrieve search results from Internet search engines as well as local databases. As the results are gathered, they are listed and shown on a map of the world.

QuickLinks provide links to additional information on a location such as maps, imagery weather, and nearby airports. Favorites allow you to store and edit locations for later use. A Hub location allows you to set a base for range calculations. anAtlas also supports dropping and pasting of your own location data for plotting.

What's new in this version:

New GEOnet Names Server plug-in
Updated Getty TGN plug-in
anAtlas Local Database place search also finds countries
Auto-translation of accent marks & vowel mutations
Detailed searches no longer require a text entry
Results and Favorites edit and import much faster
New QuickLink - "CIA World Factbook"
New QuickLink - "MapQuest Directions from Hub"
New "Places" menu can show countries and more
Fixed some prefs not always updating correctly
Fixed no-response bug when double-clicking results
Fixed list column resize bug in Classic version

We continue to delay the release of anAtlas 2.0 due to a not yet identified instability issue in Mac OS X when searching internet databases. This has compelled us to overhaul anAtlas's internet search model to a more modern one that should solve the stability problems in OS X.

Great idea, but… - Version: 2.0b8, 4/12/2003 07:23PM PST

the implementation falls short. First, this should be a sherlock plugin. Second, the maps should be the main attraction, but they stink. At lease include political boundaries, so we have points of reference when looking up unfamiliar places.

up the rating scheme by putting a 1 star every time you post.. this is to counteract your stupidity. nice little app, needs work though.. (thats probably why it is a beta)_:roll:_

at least once a week. It is a great tool. Really appreciate the OS X port and quick work.
