MAPublisher Training Videos

MAPublisher training videos offer a great value to learn and train about MAPublisher and Adobe Illustrator

Avenza Systems has partnered with Red Geographics to offer a complete set of MAPublisher training videos. These tutorial videos, while not intended to replace a hands-on training course, will offer you a complete rundown of all MAPublisher functionality through a number of practical exercises. All necessary tutorial data is included on the DVD so that you can work along with the videos.

These hi-res Quicktime videos (1260x788) were developed by Hans van der Maarel of Red Geographics, a cartographer and GIS consultant with over ten years of experience using MAPublisher and Adobe Illustrator. Special care was taken to match the tutorials to real-world applications of MAPublisher.

Whether you are a long-time MAPublisher user, keeping your cartography skills up-to-date, or a novice with no prior experience, these tutorial videos are an ideal way to learn about MAPublisher.

The 5-hour course (covering the same amount of material as 2+ days of hands-on training) is divided into several sessions, ranging in length from 15 to 50 minutes. These videos are in English only.
