Here's another intertesting Mac only application. It's a specialized
application for museum biologists (and other scientists) who want to make
species distribution maps, or any maps showing the location of field sites,
etc.

RangeMapper 2.3 is a Macintosh program for species distribution mapping
and similar tasks. It can plot maps in 7 projections, using
low-resolution mapping data files for the world, and higher-res files for
North America (including Central America). Higher-res add-on mapping
files are available for some areas outside North America (including
Australia/New Zealand). Text files of latitude/longitude data may then be
plotted to those maps as dots, lines, or 3-D bars whose heights are
controlled by a third variable. RangeMapper is currently in use in 20
U.S. states, and 11 countries. In contrast to some other desktop mapping
software, RangeMapper is fast, simple, and easy to use.

This is a one-man outfit--please do not inquire unless you have a serious
interest in such a program, so the mailbox does not choke!
