The professional version of the TNTmips is in use in over 120 nations while the FREE TNTlite version (restricted in project size) is used in almost every nation for educational, self learning, and small projects (e.g., archaeological sites, neighborhood planning, and precision farming). The product includes 80 free tutorial and application booklets with step-by-step lessons.

What's New:
Direct use of DWG, DGN, DXF 2005 files as layers.
Instantly toggle on/off of any layer in 2D view of complex layout.
Adding a layer to a complex 2D view draws only that layer.
Elements at cursor can be highlighted automatically (use mouseover events).
View-in-view tool now toggles between views instantly.
All layers in composite 3D view rendered separately for raster, vector, CAD, ????
Use legend in 3D view to toggle layers on/off and control rendering properties.
Style polygon in 3D view with hatch, bitmap, solid, and transparent fills.
Style lines in 3D using CartoScripts (i.e., variable attribute controlled styling).
3D viewing uses precomputed variable triangulation for faster rendering.
Improved viewing of ???whole earth??? (e.g., in sterographic projection).
