Family Atlas Genealogy Mapping Softwarex$29.95
  (2 reviews)
Best Price: $29.95
Family Atlas lets users create custom family maps based on their own genealogy data.
Family Atlas users view their family information on an interactive world map (either spherical or flat), and can zoom in or out to see additional detail like state and county boundaries.
Family Atlas directly imports data from popular genealogy software including RootsMagic, Family Tree Maker, PAF, Legacy and GEDCOM. Places are automatically geo-coded by matching them against the 3.5 million name world place database included with Family Atlas.
Sites of important family events are easily pinpointed by adding custom markers automatically tied to the genealogy data. Markers can be based on specific people and events, or on your entire family tree, making it easy to see migrations and clusters in family data. Markers can also be added by hand, making possible historical marker sets like Civil War Battles and personal marker sets like Our Family Vacations. Both hand-entered and data-based markers can easily be combined on the same map.
Publishing beautiful maps is a breeze with Family Atlas. Users can enhance their maps with text, migration lines, text bubbles, photographs and other objects. Users can save or print their maps, or export them to PDF or a number of popular graphics formats to be used in reports, books, or websites.
Other features in Family Atlas include the interactive Gazetteer, which helps locate almost any place in the world, and the Nearby Places List which finds all places and events within a given distance of any point.

Genealology mapping
By A1AMJD3A43MFRK on 2007-12-09
Family Atlas Genealogy Mapping Software
As a Geographer and map maker I have fairly high expectations of location based database software. Family Atlas delivers a really great product. I was able to pull in my GED files with no problems. It even allows you to add photos and other hyperlinked content to each location and customize my symbology. I was able to color code each branch or generation of your family to make it easy to see. I could print maps of the finshed product and even select a particular family group or an area (country, state, or city) on the map to print. Very nice and well worth the price.
Produces Useable Maps
By A278W43QOHFOBR on 2007-03-14
Family Atlas works very well in pulling in the information from a genealogy program. It is an excellent resource for verifying place names and recognizes obsolete place names, giving the current name as well. This feature was especially useful to me, as many of my ancestors lived in towns in areas of Europe that have changed countries. The main product is a world map, however, you can zoom in on a section of the map to produce a map of that portion of the world. The map you produce can be exported to a word processing program, so you can insert the map into your family history story.
