Drag'n drop functionality included to easily tag, capture and describe metadata information about files in your catalog libraries.
A integrated GIS & map viewer is built into MAAD2GO that lets a non-GIS users to display and query many different spatial formats.
Dynamically monitor changes to files and how they are linked to catalog libraries.
Enter keyword(s), file names and Search for files in your folders or directories - anywhere.

A GIS Viewer is integrated into MAAD2GO that lets a non-GIS user to display and query many different spatial formats.
> Display MapInfo Tab, ESRI Shape, AutoCad DXF & DWG, Microsotation DGN, plus many more formats together at once.
> Query internal GIS metadata information from displayable files.

The following events can be tracked that are within the directory that the application is monitoring:
> Created – A file or directory is created.
> Deleted – A file or directory is deleted.
> Renamed – A file or directory is renamed.
> Changed – One or more of the attributes (size, system attributes, last write time, last access time, or security attributes) is changed on a file or directory.
Additionally, files that have been added to MAAD2GO Library Catalogs can have these changes reflected automatically if selected, which then provides the ability to maintain a complete listing of accessible files with no broken links.
This small and simple utility allows you to search for files based on various criteria including words or phrases inside files*.
It's a brute-forced search, and it does not work with pre-indexed databases but from the file's storage location directly.
As a result, search times can be variable, but it does deliver correct results every time.
* Searching for words within files can significantly slow down the searching speed. Searching for words within files may not apply to every file types and formats - conditions apply.
Everything you need to easily administer the program is contained within one easy to navigate location.
Here you can;
> Organise your data into easy to retrieve and discoverable catalog libraries
> Add files to catalogs, geographically tag locations, information & metadata
> Edit record information within catalogs
> Grant edit and access rights to catalogs
> Create and administer project or working locatable areas.
Your Windows logon is your identifier for accessing administration functions, therefore no additional usernames or passwords are required.
MAAD2GO has been designed with the popular GIS software (MapInfo Professional*) in mind.
Specially designed connectors exist that talk to MapBasic compiled scripts when MapInfo is operational.
In addition, a seperate toolbar and menu that contains alot of specific functionality created for MapInfo can be loaded into the MapInfo Professional interface (called maadgis.mbx).
This functionality has been built up over the years by MAAD Solutions in a program that used to be called MAADgis to make some of the tedious functionality of operating MapInfo easier and more intuitive.
This MAADgis functionality has been included within the MAAD2gO software as an added bonus for MapInfo Professional users, however this functionality is provided on an as-supplied basis and is not supported.
