“SurvPC 7 is a major update that puts more power in the hands of people working on site,” said Sarah Winter, Director of Carlson’s Field Software Programming Division. “It’s really a big step forward in field software, done without sacrificing the familiar efficient look and structure our users know.”
The new version comes loaded with new functionality, from the advanced averaging features that help users improve their GPS solutions and satisfy stringent survey requirements for GPS-collected data, to better reports, least squares adjustment in the field, and Esri ArcGIS capabilities.
