Flowmap answers the questions your GIS did not think of!

Flowmap is a software package dedicated to analyzing and displaying interaction or flow data. This type of data is special in the sense that there are two different geographic locations connected to each data item: An origin location where the flow starts and an destination location where the flow ends. The flow data itself can be people (e.g. commuters, shoppers, hospital visitors), goods, usage of agricultural services or telecommunication and so on.

Most thematic mapping and GIS packages have little functionality for treating this kind of information. Now Flowmap fills this gap. Flowmap is a PC software package (Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP), developed at the Faculty of Geosciences of the Utrecht University in the Netherlands. There are two editions: An Educational Edition, that works interactively only, and a Professional Edition that also works in batch mode. The professional version also has some additional datamanagement functions. Actually, there is just one edition: if you download and install the Educational Edition, you also have the Professional Edition, but the additional features of the Professional Edition need to be activated by entering a registration code. See Professional Edition for more details.
