[Qgis-user] looking for mapping program

[Mike Flannigan]

Do you know Tony Cooley?

I don't either, but you may want to contact
him to get his opinion.

QGIS is free, so that is a positive.  It is also
very, very powerful.  It has a very fast development
cycle, which will be both good and bad for you
in different ways.  It can be self-taught, but
you may not have the time for that.  If not,
you should check into training options before you
decide.

If your users need very basic GIS functions and nothing
more, it might be better to use a simpler software, like
those supplied by Delorme or others, instead of teaching
everybody QGIS.
