"My biggest struggle right now with AlignStar is that it is too easy to use. I have loaded (our) information to build a document and this took about 5 minutes. Way too short a time, scares me. No really, the product is excellent... OUTSTANDING...!!!" Maps included in all AlignStar Editions
AlignStar comes with an up to date, comprehensive set of map layers suited to a broad range of territory design and realignment applications. AlignStar map layers are all carefully designed to work together and are fitted to match each other both in scale and projection. All of our map layers are complete and, if applicable, include both numeric code and name labels, point locations (e.g. point ZIP Codes) as well as the adjacency table, drive time database and other relationship information required for AlignStar to perform territory optimizations and data aggregations.
The US 5-Digit ZIP Code map layer changes frequently and is updated quarterly. The frequency of updates varies by AlignStar Edition. All other map layers are updated on an as needed basis and are included as part of your annual maintenance.
