Avenza Systems (http://www.avenza.com), producers of MAPublisher and
MAPublisher LabelPro cartographic software for Adobe Illustrator,
Geographic Imager spatial imaging tools for Adobe Photoshop as well
as MAPdataUSA, MAPdataCanada and MAPdataWorld royalty-free GIS data
sets and Red Geographics, GIS consultants and an Avenza dealer based
in The Netherlands, are pleased to announce the release of the
MAPublisher Training Videos, a set of training videos produced by Red
Geographics for Avenza's MAPublisher cartographic plug-in for Adobe
Illustrator.

"With this set of training videos, users can receive similar
high-quality instruction for MAPublisher that is normally available
through online or in-class training, but with the advantage of going
through it at their own pace and repeating it as desired." said Hans
van der Maarel, owner of Red Geographics. "This will be a great asset
for experienced users as well as people who are just starting out
with MAPublisher", he added.

This 5-hour set of videos, with a voice-over in English, is aimed at
both novice and experienced MAPublisher users and covers the same
amount of material as a 2-day training course. Composed of a series
of 12 individual movies addressing all of the MAPublisher functions,
including special attention paid to new features such as the new MAP
Web Author and MAPublisher LabelPro tools, this DVD bases its
instruction upon common, real-life scenarios and includes all
supporting dataset.

"We applaud the initiative demonstrated by Red Geographics in
creating this video compilation and the highly professional and
thorough nature of its presentation." said Ted Florence, President of
Avenza. "The instructional content of these videos provides the
perfect self-learning environment for both novice and experienced
MAPublisher users alike and is bound to turn anyone into an expert
very quickly", he added.

The complete MAPublisher video DVD is available immediately at US$249
(plus shipping) from Avenza, with a US$50 discount being offered to
members of the MAPublisher maintenance program, as well as directly
from Red Geographics and other MAPublisher dealers in Europe and
elsewhere including Screen + Paper GmbH in Germany.
