GPS Surveying and Mapping Now Easier!
Surveying and Mapping
just got easier and more productive with new tools,
GPS2CAD and GPS2CAD-rv. The new programs bring together topographic mapping, GIS and
AutoCAD by allowing GPS Receivers to output their database file into an AutoCAD program. The
programs allow you to connect your hand held GPS Receiver to your computer, download your waypoints, and plot them in AutoCAD. Modestly priced,
these new programs are a tremendous timesaver and convenience! They even lets you relocate your plot with the first point of your traverse at a specified coordinate. Works on
most Garmin models, including the popular eTrex line, and AutoCAD 14, 2000 and 200i. Satellite navigation and land surveying are now made much more convenient by outputting to an
AutoCAD file.
GPS2CAD-rv is The
"Recreational Version" of the popular GPS2CAD, and provides all the
essential functions for plotting your GPS points in AutoCAD. Priced at $100
less, it is designed to appeal to the "recreational users" who
simply want to have some fun with their work tools!
Program operation is simple. It requires that you connect your GPS Receiver to your computers serial port with a connecting cable available from Garmin.
You can choose to relocate point No. 1 to a given
coordinate, effectively letting you relocate the entire plot in AutoCAD. You
can also make adjustments to the layers, line types, and colors to be used,
and whether to plot the points, connecting lines, descriptors..
Once all these selections are made, simply start an AutoCAD
session, click one button, and the plotted points appear in AutoCAD! This
operation can be repeated as necessary, such as relocating the entire plot to
a given location if necessary.
The key feature of these programs is that they are a simple
LOW COST alternative to the very expensive survey software now on the market.
They let you turn your GPS Receiver into a usable tool in the office by
allowing it to be used for low-order site layout.
Unique on the market, the programs take advantage of some of
the most remarkable technology now available. Now available for sale from www.AzTechSoft.com
