Magic Maps 1.3.5

Magic Maps was designed from the ground up as a Mac application. As such, it benefits from enhanced ease-of-use and increased performance.<br />Desktop integration<br /><br />Magic Maps seamlessly integrates with your desktop environment so that you can work more productively.<br /><br />Drag and Drop. To import data, simply drag a file from the Finder into the variable table. To export data as CSV, drag one or more variables from Magic Maps over to the Finder, and presto! A new CSV file appears.<br /><br />Copy-Paste. Working with a spreadsheet? Just copy the cells that contain your data (along with a header row), paste directly into Magic Maps, and instantly behold a map that is colored according to your data.<br /><br />Spotlight search. Because Magic Maps was built with Core Data, Spotlight will automatically search through the labels, titles, and variable names in Magic Maps files. So even if your desktop is a mess, Magic Maps files are always easy to reach.<br /><br />Under the hood<br />Accelerated computation. To give you the best performance even with large data sets, we enlisted the help of Apple's amazing Accelerate framework. As a result, many of the built-in mathematical functions are up to 4 times faster than before.<br /><br />Live projections with OpenCL. The Projection Preview window seems like a no-brainer, but you won't find it in any other maps program. Why? Because projecting the earth's surface onto a map is computationally intensive, and the process normally requires you to sit and wait for the computation to finish. For Magic Maps, we took the time to rewrite all of our map projection routines in OpenCL. As a result, you can tweak map parameters and see the result almost instantly.<br /><br />Multi-core distance calculations. We also rewrote our distance routines in OpenCL, and used a few extra tricks to give you the absolute best performance when it comes to geographic calculations. So for most uses, drawing a blast radius or calculating a minimum distance occurs in the blink of an eye. And because Magic Maps performs the computations in parallel, it can take full advantage of modern multi-core processors.
