Maptitude is a mapping software program, a mapping tool, and a Geographic Information System (GIS) created by Caliper Corporation that allows users to view, edit and integrate maps. The software is designed to allow the geographical visualization and analysis of either included data or custom external data. The primary user type is a business development professionals. The primary use type is for sales territory management.

It encapsulates the core GIS functionality of the Caliper mapping software suite of products, and works with Microsoft Office, data mapping from various sources including Microsoft Excel, and includes a BASIC-like programming language (Caliper Script) within a development interface (GISDK) that allows automation of the Maptitude environment.

Maptitude geocodes addresses the geocode precision (the method used to locate the address) in a column in the attribute table. Maptitude provides route planning tools for route optimization that provide route directions for optimal routes for travel and deliveries by calculating the distance and the direction of single or multiple routes. Routes are optimized based on the shortest route, fastest route, ordered route, or other route types based on costs other than time or distance.
