PC-GPS 3.8 MS version

A Development Success Story:

 

  1. The Mississippi Forestry Commission is using the MARCH-II-E GPS and PC-GPS 3.8FM for their
    forest mapping, and they have been so satisfied with the product that they made the MARCH-II-E and
    PC-GPS 3.8FM     package as their standard for mapping. They realized that some enhancements would
    help them do their job moreeasily and completely.
  2. They sent us a list of the desired enhancements.
  3. CMT was able to implement their request for a nominal upgrade fee. CMT did not charge a large
    d evelopment fee for writing the new software. Also, CMT completed the software ahead of schedule.
  4. With permission from your company or agency, please send us your wish list (complete with detailed
    explanations and examples). We will do our best to implement enhancements to meet the needs of
    our customers.

 

 

New Enhancements in the PC-GPS 3.8 MS version:

  • “Plot to File” tool added to Plot Preview now creates .bmp or .jpg image files.

  • Project Toolbar: New customizable Point and Line shortcuts permit up to 30 user-defined symbols. You define the symbol and rename the shortcut to fit your application.

  • Project Toolbar provides new “Power Line” shortcut for utility mapping.
  • Now load registered imagery in MrSID® format as well as the traditional Geotiff format. For information about the MrSID® technology, please click on the LIZARDTECH™ logo at the bottom of this page.

  • More powerful Buffering! Now you can buffer just a segment of a line or area feature. You may buffer just one side of a line or area feature.
  • GPS Differential Correction enhanced in PC-GPS for manual selection of base station files using the friendly C/A Code Wizard.
  • Built-in X, Y & Z coordinates displayed in the Sheet View now shown in Degrees-Minutes-Seconds.
  • Added option provided to show the source filename (for .ftr or .pmp files) using the File/Import function. This is very useful when combining several jobs from different users. (PC-GPS only)

 

 

 

Other Development Success Stories:

 

 

The Forester’s Module (FM) for PC-GPS initiated by Georgia-Pacific has become the most popular forest mapping software and is used by more than one thousand Foresters.

 

Georgia-Pacific had several choices on where to turn for their project.

 

CMT was able to provide the powerful Forester’s Toolkit such as:

 

·      Split or Combine Tract/Stand

·      Create Island

·      Register Photo

 

and more that can be easily learned by end-users.

                               Shown is Combine Tract/Stand

      

 

                              Shown is Acreage Calculation

              

 

 

                              Shown is Aerial Photo Registration

 

 

 

 

The Airborne Inspection Module (AI) for PC-Mapper was initiated by the Ministry of Natural Resources in Quebec, Canada.

 

This software serves as an effective aerial inspection tool regardless of the speed or orientation of your aircraft.            

 

 

PC-GPS 3.8 and PC-MAP/GIS 3.8 Highlights

BASEMAPS

 

 

 

 

 

High quality labeled BaseMaps are automatically loaded with your differentially corrected job in the Map View.  They contain useful vector data such as:

·      Roads

·      Railroads

·      Landmarks

·    Hydrology

·    Transportation

·    Key Geographic Locations

·    City Limits

·    County subdivisions

·    Indian/ Alaska Native Area

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUFFERING: POINTS, LINES AND AREA BUFFERS

·       Timber:  Determining no-cut zones along rivers (riparian areas)

·       Pipeline/DOT:  Specifying road buffers for right-of-way

·       Parks:  Park and recreation layout (green belt and creek buffers)

·       City/County:  Housing development layout (quiet zones)     

·       Municipal:  Specifying river flood planes

·      Agriculture: Chemical application and crop planning                                    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

EXPANDED SYMBOL / PATTERN LIBRARY

Thousands of new point symbols, line and area patterns have been added to the symbol library in PC-GPS.

 

Public

Forestry

Conservation

Environment

Survey

  Transportation

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Powerful editing tools let you define your own symbols. Existing symbols may be combined, rotated, re-sized, offset and colors may be changed.

 

Forestry Module (FM) for Farms [Lot/Crop vs. Tract/Stand for Foresters] is built into PC-GPS 3.8FM, PC-GPS 3.8 MS (GPS/GIS software) and the low cost PC-MAP/GIS 3.8 (GIS software).

 

Professionals who use GPS (collect raw data and perform differential correction, etc.) need PC-GPS 3.8 (GPS/GIS software). However, many state employees, sub-contractors or customers who do not use professional GPS do not need the advanced GPS processing of the PC-GPS 3.8.

 

PC-GIS 3.8 PRO can do all of the GIS and FM functions and share data files with PC-GPS 3.8 software transparently. There is also a super low-cost lightweight version of the GIS software called PC-GIS 3.2, which can be used to view your design and work.
