AMC, Inc. has just released
an updated version of GPS2CAD, a powerful Windows application that enables
users to bridge the gap
between your GPS unit and AutoCAD. We are pleased to announce
that an all NEW version is available, with these
important enhancements:
- The latest version of GPS2CAD is now compatible
with AutoCAD 2010
- The name has
changed back to GPS2CAD. It's the same product as GPS2CAD-08, so don't be
confused by the small change
Reducing the
cost of field data collection and drawing preparation is the primary benefit of
this program. It allows users to import data from inexpensive, recreational
grade GPS units, convert the data to a CAD – usable format, and plot it in
AutoCAD. Cost savings to companies come in three main areas:
- Reducing the cost of the technology required –
simple recreational grade GPS units from manufacturers such as Garmin, and
which cost under $500 can be substituted for professional grade units that
cost $10,000 or more
- Reducing the cost of Personnel – instead of a
professionally trained surveyor required to operate the GPS equipment,
technicians can be used to walk a site and collect data points where
necessary
- Reduce Drafting costs – the time required to
produce CAD drawings with the data is greatly reduced two ways:
- GPS2CAD easily sends the data into the drawing
- GPS2CAD can also send map images into the
drawing
The program is best used in
situations where the precision of recreational – grade GPS units is acceptable
to the job requirements, which is often the case in the planning stage of a
project, or with projects where precise location of topographic features is not
necessary.
Free trial versions are
