Press Release
Phoenix,
Az. January 22, 2002 AMC Inc. introduces for distribution on their website http://www.AzTechSoft.com/, the
latest Version 2.5 of their popular and unique GPS2CAD. They have also introduced a “Recreational
Version” called GPS2CAD-rv that preserves the core functionality of
GPS2CAD and sells for $100 less.
The
programs, are designed to interface with a GPS receiver and plot the waypoints
and track points directly into AutoCAD.
GPS2CAD
is designed to serve the engineering, GPS, and GIS communities with a cost
effective alternative to some of the very expensive software packages now on
the market" said Mark Crigler, President of AMC Inc.. "Currently
there are few (if any) products that have the simple, rock solid capabilities
that this program has, that sell for less than a few thousand dollars".
The price for GPS2CAD Ver 2.5 is $245.
Version
2.5 of GPS2CAD adds significant new features, based on user comments. First
among these requests is compatibility with most Garmin handheld receivers,
including the popular eTrex line. It
also includes greatly improved printing capabilities for the GPS points and CAD
points. Preserved from the earlier version are the features to import and
export of the points to text files, the ability to edit the points, and the
capability of uploading those points back to the GPS Receiver. You can even
plot the waypoint in AutoCAD, move them to new locations in the drawing, and
then upload them back into the GPS receiver.
GPS2CAD-rv
is a stream-lined version for those who want the ability to download and plot their
points in AutoCAD, but need it more for a recreational use. While selling for $145,
it preserves the primary download and plot functions, but does not have the import/export,
print, or upload capability.
Waypoints
and Track Points are the point databases maintained by GPS receivers. Waypoints
are those entered manually with the push of a button on the GPS receiver's
faceplate, and Track Points are the "bread crumb" points that are
maintained and show the actual walk-around
history of the users location. Waypoints are generally accessible for
review on the GPS display, but track points are typically hidden from the user
except to plot them in a connect-the-dot display. With GPS2CAD, both of
these point files can be retrieved and plotted with lines, points, and blocks
directly into AutoCAD
AMC
Inc. publishes several software programs designed for Engineering, AutoCAD
users, and Visual Basic users. Their website at http://www.AzTechSoft.com/shows these
programs as well as many resources and links that are helpful for those engaged
in these areas of technology.
