GPS2CAD enables design professionals to easily and
inexpensively use recreational-grade GPS units to collect field
information and plot it in their CAD program. While professional
survey-grade systems are more accurate, most recreational GPS units are
well-suited for many site layout and "topo-plotting"
requirements. To

Viewing the imported points on actual public-domain aerial
photos or topographic maps is an important part of GPS2CAD. These maps are
obtained automatically when the user clicks the "View Points"
button, and then displayed in a separate window with the map, points and
id clearly plotted.
GPS2CAD translates the GPS points from their "satellite based"
coordinate system into more than 40 world wide coordinate systems,
including the extremely popular NAD 27, NAD 83, and the State Plane
Coordinate systems (used in the United States).
The program is designed to work with AutoCAD, versions 14.01 through 2004.
In addition, it will export the point data to text files, Access 2000
files, and DXF files, so most technical/CAD programs (including AutoCAD
LT) can use the point data.
GPS2CAD is
the BEST Product (and we think the ONLY
product) for capturing the points from your hand-held GPS unit and taking
them into AutoCAD for use on your cad drawing.
