MapInfo

Once we get the pedestrian data while in Venice, we will need to give context to the data in the form geographic locations in Venice. Thankfully, software for this purpose already exists, and is called GIS (Geographic Information Services). The software that has been used in the past is MapInfo. From there website "MapInfo Professional® is a powerful Microsoft® Windows®-based mapping and geographic analysis application from the experts in location intelligence. Designed to easily visualize the relationships between data and geography, MapInfo Professional helps business analysts, planners, GIS professionals – even non-GIS users – gain new insights into their markets, share information-rich maps and graphs and improve strategic decision-making."
