Bob Holtkamp of GNG Surveys uses Traverse PC in the high Arctic Read More and View More Photos "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 and is a joint project of the Canadian and American military." "The Department of Defense would accept only AutoCAD or Traverse PC. AutoCAD is not surveyor friendly."  "The economics are simple. Without Traverse PC our company would not have this lucrative contract." "I could not do this job with such ease without the help of Traverse PC." "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." "Thank God for Traverse PC...  It gives me time to fish!"

Q: How long have you used Traverse PC? A: 2 years   Q: What CAD software have you used in the past for surveying? A: Bentley MicroStation, MicroSurvey CAD   Q: What don't you like about using CAD software for surveying? A: The uploading and processing of data in CAD is more labor intensive as is the learning curve to become proficient with the software. Downloading useful, efficient data for field work is likewise more labor intensive.   Q: What do you like about using TPC's No CAD Zone for surveying? A: First of all the program uses processes similar to and supportive of Microsoft products greatly enhancing efficiency and reducing the learning curve when beginning.   Additionally this affords the ability to process various forms and formats of data in familiar Excel and Word formats.  The program is extremely flexible in it's ability to read and write to DGN, DWG, DXF, JPG, PDF etc.     Dave imported this drawing from MicroStation so he can work with it in TPC   Q: Why is Traverse PC easier to use than CAD for surveying? A: The thought process for work layout and processing is as flexible and infinite as your imagination.  It is not necessary to adopt a process that someone else has determined.     Q: How does Traverse PC's 'Total Cost of Ownership' compare with CAD? A: The overall pricing of maintenance and support is extremely agreeable.  The response and focused support has been exceptional.	William N.
