"The economics are simple. Without Traverse PC our company would not have this lucrative contract." Bob Holtkamp, AB, Canada
"Traverse PC is one of the best." Gordon Bell, IN
"The last 22 years I have previewed numerous COGO software programs, but have never found anything close to Traverse PC, and with the ability to draft maps, the program is complete." Pete Ketcham, ID
"TPC Desktop is more impressive than any AutoCAD version that I have ever used." Bryan Hartsook, VA
"I really like a point based program like TPC and the friendly drawing environment that TPC has. There is no need for a lot of extensive/expensive training to do good, efficient work with TPC." Glenn Eastman, OR
"I cannot say enough about the Managers in TPC 2010... What a super great system!!! TPC will surely dominate all survey and CAD programs..." Jim Creasy, PA
"As a former CAD user, I have found the versatility and ease of use of Traverse PC to be a great benefit to my business." Dan Barry, NY
"[Traverse PC] is easier to use, less expensive, gets the job done, and comes from caring people who understand surveying and surveying needs." Joe Nachtrieb, CO
"Great stuff! You don't need to send me any other software, as I am perfectly happy with TPC and have no intentions of changing to anything else...and I have tried the other software." Randy Green, TN
"Once again you have set the standard for others to attain." George Anderson, NJ
"REALLY like everything I've seen so far... Things seem so much simpler & straight forward. Think you guys have something great here!" Cliff Tuck, AR
"[Traverse PC] is very user friendly and produces high quality survey plats." Fred Haidt, AL
"Traverse PC is the way to go for all Land Surveyors." Pete Jackson, CA
"While it has similarities to ACAD, . I would say [Traverse PC] is much more user (and surveyor) friendly." Scott Freshwaters, OR
"[Traverse PC has] cut my total production time down by making map preparation faster and easier." Sergio Sanchez, CA
"Traverse PC is the one tool my little company has that does it all." Steve Parker, CO
"I find Traverse PC very easy and efficient to use. The applications are logical and the learning curve is very short. I would highly recommend this survey software for all land surveyors." David Holland, VA
"Yu ROCK! I am a student... ...I find the program to be very user friendly. Traverse PC is helpful with understanding how data is used to make decisions in a survey, as well as providing a visual image illustrating what the data collected is trying to show." Joel Kayser, NY

Bob Holtkamp uses Traverse PC in the Arctic

"I'm working in the high Arctic on a project called the DEW Line Clean Up (DLCU). DEW is an acronym for Distant Early Warning systems. Which is a joint project of the Canadian and American military.
"When the Cold War began in the early '50's we decided we needed some sort of protective warning system in case the Russians were to attack us from the North so we constructed a line of radar facilities in the high Canadian arctic to keep vigil which we still do today.
"Unfortunately all these years and mountains of garbage, toxins and PCB's etc. were deposited on hundreds of acres of pristine tundra. No possible way to dispose properly and nobody cared. Today the 23 major sites (58 altogether if you count intermediates) are either being demolished or if they are not decommissioned they will be cleaned up.
"Some take 3 to 4 years some less. The one I am at is a 2 year job. That's 2 months only in each summer because of the weather. In fact the weather forecast has snow for Friday, that's July the 27th, 2007.
"Anyway I am the site surveyor and my helper is a local Inuit. My job is to lay out the various facilities for clean up because removal is not an option. A barge can only get in here for a small window in fall and the trip takes weeks. Basically there are 4 main facilities laid out and constructed. This site can be viewed on Google Earth with progress up to last fall. The four facilities are 1. The Landfarm 2. The Non-Hazardous Disposal Facility 3. The USAF Landfill and 4. The Tier 2 Disposal Facility. They are all quite elaborate and are overseen by a Defense Construction Canada DCC Engineer.
"Now here I am back again on the 5th of August and we awoke to blowing wet snow. It is quite cold for August. The job is winding down but I am still very busy. We are busy putting the finishing touches on the USAF Landfill. It has been sealed in a geotechnical liner and will get 2.6 meters of fill to bring up the permafrost. Permafrost has an active layer of .7 meters in the peak of summer. That should seal all the toxins and other harmful materials in ice forever, global warming aside. There is a .8 meter global warming factor in place. So layout and volumes etc. is what its all about. I could not do this job with such ease without the help of Traverse PC and sometimes the help desk when I don't have time to read the learning notes.
"With Traverse PC I can survey in the field first or survey on the computer first and reconstruct in the field. Layout and volumes are a snap. If I have a problem, with TPC Connection it soon is resolved. The economics are simple. Without Traverse PC our company would not have this lucrative contract. The Department of Defense would accept only AutoCAD or Traverse PC. AutoCAD is not surveyor friendly. "
