U.S. and Canadian researchers will be excited to hear about a major update to the AniMap software. We've written previously about the importance of AniMap in Why You Might Have A Brick Wall and I hope you are not doing U.S. research without this . . . .
New in Version 3
- The SiteFinder database has been expanded by more than 250,000 places including some new categories: Civil Divisions (Townships, for example), mines, parks, islands and more.
- Bigger maps. Maps can now be expanded to 1280x960 resolution which will fill most of the larger screens.
- Now works with Vista.
- The help files have been expanded and cover every aspect of using AniMap in non-technical language. In addition, a PDF file containing an instruction manual is also included which you can read before beginning to use AniMap.

How good is Animap for Canadian locations: historical & current? Does it have the same depth for Canada as it does for the USA?

Brian, Ontario is the only available province. Otherwise, it will show the country border changes.

How about producing an Animap for the UK, after all many roots of people in the US and Canada are in the UK!

I've received the upgrade to Animap 3.0 and installed it on my computer. Is it okay to uninstall the previous version? It appears that this is not just an upgrade to the previous version, but a completely new program. Is that correct?

Dede, yes it is okay to uninstall the previous version. However, I think installing version 3 will just replace what you already have.

I don't understand your reply to Brian (March 31, 2008) What does "Otherwise" mean? or, is Quebec available?

Maureen - Quebec as a province is not available, but is included in the country-wide map.
