New Lunar Map Pro 2.0 - RITI 's Response
Hello,
It is not usually RITI's policy to respond on open forums. Unfortunately, inaccurate and false statements concerning RITI and Lunar Map Pro on sci.astro.amateur require that we set the record straight. Our copy protection policy is clearly stated on our installation instructions and website and can also be found in the User Guide, available on the website for download. In the same locations one can also find out about our 30 day Money-Back Guarantee made possible because of the effectively copy-protected disc which allows the software license to move with the disc rather than be tied to a computer. Version 2.0 now offers each customer the option of installing an additional FREE (non-disc dependent) PC license on one computer. This license makes it possible to use Lunar Map Pro 2.0 in the field without the need for the CD. RITI also offers resolutions to customers with failing CD drives and damaged discs. RITI is a very small company but the majority of employees have a telescope at home and all enjoy lunar observing. All employees of RITI have sacrificed time and money to bring Lunar Map Pro to the market. RITI has been doing research work for NASA as a member of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP). We have people on staff with expertise in advanced mathematics, physics, and astronomy, and two individuals have more than 30 years of observing experience! Our goal in creating Lunar Map Pro 1.0 was to create a detailed accurate lunar map that could be flipped, reversed and zoomed to match the observer's telescope view. Lunar observers know the best tool for planning an observing session is to simulate it! We applied our cartography skills to painstakingly create vector data and we built the software on a powerful geographic information system (GIS) platform. We achieved our goal of creating the first lunar software to provide a view that matches the observer's telescope and also provided advanced printing, labeling, and feature identification from an extensive database of features. RITI's written response to Chuck Taylor regarding libration was the following: "On the issue of libration, you imply that we are making excuses for not incorporating libration in LMP. This is simply untrue. We have not been ignoring this issue at all. The problem, as we see it, is to provide image (and supporting vector data) that are corrected for libration, without compromising resolution and quality. We have been doing extensive research on a methodology that will provide corrections for libration that do not compromise the quality or resolution that our customers have come to expect from our product. We plan to include this methodology with the release of LMP version 2.0." Lunar Map Pro 2.0 provides a choice of maps that are all fully corrected for libration with impressive clarity along the limb just as we promised in that email several months ago! Competition in a marketplace benefits the consumer by providing them with better products and services. One has to question the motivations of anyone who goes out of their way to try to reduce the competition in a marketplace - particularly if they also claim to be concerned with the consumer's best interests. Anyone interested in evaluating Lunar Map Pro 2.0 can view the detailed information on our website - www.riti.com or order and take advantage of our 30 day money back offer (shipping not included). If any of you have further questions about Lunar Map Pro please feel free to contact us at: Sincerely, Reading Information Technology, Inc. (RITI) www.riti.com |
