For those of you who haven't yet found out, there is now a Carta suggestion at Logos' new Uservoice site for prepubs: Add books from Carta. Please go add your vote[s ]. And then add the remainder of your votes to other suggestions -- preferably mine.[:D]
(There is also a new Uservoice site for CP's, with another ten new votes for you to spend: http://communitypricing.uservoice.com/forums/183260-general/filters/top.)

Thanks for encouraging this. Unfortunately I can't do any more as I've already registered 3 votes. I encourage others to do the same. In my limited opinion the Carta Atlas is the best I've ever used.

Amazing. Since I made that post above, the Carta suggestion has gone from 6 or 10 votes to 35, and is now leading the race.

That is great news and I've been doing all I can to promote this too! I hope this bears fruit and Logos responds in the near future.

Don't expect the 'leading' part to last, though. I haven't had time to promote the Jewish, Patristic, and Catholic suggestions on their respective old Suggestions threads yet, just the Carta, Orthodox and Liturgy ones. I think I may do the Jewish ones tomorrow.

We only have a very limited number of votes! Let's get Carta going first!

Each Logos user gets a maximum of 3 votes. There is no magic number and there is no guarantee that we can ever see Carta as part of Logos. What it does do it help Logos know the desire of its users and this is their way of assessing it.

Carta is indeed an outstanding resource, and Sacred Bridge pretty much sets the standard. It is, however, long and technical and expensive. For reference work, however, you do pretty much need to consult it.
I have been looking for a teaching atlas, i.e., one I can use as a text in my seminary course, "Survey of the Lands of the Bible."
I have two blog posts, one post explaining my interests HERE and a followup HERE.
I decided to use Beitzel's The New Moody Bible Atlas this year, but I'm working through Currid and Barrett's Crossway ESV Bible Atlas at the same time. So far, I'm a little bit wishing I'd gone w/ Crossway's.
In any case, I'd like to see these in Logos.

I am on board to get this Carta resource as soon as Logos announce it. "A Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the Hebrew Language for Readers of English"

I bought a package in the 'other' Bible software company. Just to buy the Carta resources. I very much doubt Logos hasn't decided on Carta ...

I'm headed to Israel in January for 3 weeks, and would really like to have The Sacred Bridge on my ipad...

Bruce, my comment was a backwards way of saying that Logos has probably got as far as it can on Carta; ball's somewhere in Israel most likely. Carta as a full package is a 'decision' but the individual resources like Sacred Bridge are easily affordable. A Carta pre-pub would not likely last a day (exaggeration?) since Christians and Jewish folks would have easy use of it in various classes and personal study. It's heavily studded with textual explanation, archaeology, etc, and so its value. And production-wise, it's similar to the Civil War resources ... text and images. Not too fancy.
Carefully avoiding 'the competition' (if that's possible), but the other non-Carta resource that is usually presented with Carta is even better (if that is possible). I've not been to Israel but I wouldn't go without the non-Carta resource, it's that good. I think I would stay awake the whole flight just being impressed.
But I will repeat my oft-displayed 'rant', and that is that Logos absolutely refuses to fully display its prowess and content in an easy to use fashion. I suspect that much of what's in Carta/non-Carta is 'somewhere' in Logos, FaithLife, etc, etc.
A bit OT, but today Milford was giving life-experience lessons in trying to remain calm but express frustration at the absence of easy guidance on Logos mobile offerings. I was busily taking notes; he is a wonder to learn from.
Another OT for anyone going to Israel and wanting to work on topos on iOS (my absolute requirement). 'TwoNav'. Of course it chews up data like there's no tomorrow.

Thanks Denise for your fuller explanation. I've had the privilege of going to Israel twice in my life and would love to have taken Carta resources with me. Maybe a third time is an option in the future but there are no plans for that.
I still hold on to hope that Carta resources may some day be a reality in Logos.
