QuikLoad computes or imports stakeout points in grid coordinates and transforms them into WGS84 geographic coordinates. QuikLoad provides several methods for the user to choose all or several stakeout points for upload to the rover data collector. Both raster and vector layers can be displayed in the background.

QuikView downloads stakeout and surveyed coordinates from a data collector and transforms the latter from geographic to grid coordinates. Ellipsoid heights are converted to orthometric heights using a seamless link to any of several available geoid undulation models. Graphical point and click capabilities allows the user to display all relevant coordinate and quality control data for each point.

QuikCon QuikCon processes conventional survey data and is structured towards processing reciprocal surveys although radial and leap surveys are accommodated. QuikCon provides numerous visual ways of verifying raw observations and processed coordinates. Thirty raw conventional formats can be processed. A sunshot utility capable of Hour Angle and Altitude methods is included.

GPSQL accesses the .mdb database populated by the QuikLoad and QuikView programs and includes a point and click query building tool, a custom report builder, and DXF and SHP file creation tools. A seamless two-way link with QuikMap provides the user with the ability to map any of 100 queries. There is provision for import of numerous files (e, g,, Excel, Dbase, generic and vibe ASCII, and MDB) as new tables to assist in other data management chores.'

QuikMap has numerous coordinate handling capabilities. QuikMap can create fold plots, compare coordinate files,create bagdrop locations, and draw connecting arcs or lines between matching points. QuikMap can display line profies, provides several methods of interpolation, and displays and utilizes exclusion zones. There are sophisticated routines for converting complex CAD line files to XZO exclusion zone files. Single point or multiple point moves are possible. All graphic elements (points, connecting lines, and exclusion zones) can be output to DXF and SHP files. QuikMap determines line intersections, and performs several types of proximity tests. Custom reports can be made from any operation. Image background support is included as well.'

GPArc is a powerful but easy to learn mapping tool. It allows for up to 100 layers which can be comprised of point, line and polygon SHP files, DXF, DGN and DWG Cad files, or TIFF, JPG and BMP raster images. It also allows the user to import ASCII files and supports .XZO exclusion zones. Imported ASCII files can be transformed in almost any conceivable manner. GPArc features an image registration utility which creates world files or transforms existing ones. GPArc is based on the ArcObjects libraries. These are the same libraries that the ESRI products, ArcInfo and ArcView are built on and therefore allow exceptional rendering and editing capabilities.'

GPArc is installed with the other GPSeismicŪ applications but will not run without an ESRI runtime license. If you have an ESRI 'Arc' product installed, you might already have this runtime file. If you don't, the license can be purchased from ESRI for $500.

GPNav is a powerful but easy to learn mapping tool and also features realtime GPS tracking. GPNav allows for up to 100 layers which can be comprised of point, line and polygon SHP files, DXF, DGN and DWG Cad files, or TIFF, JPG and BMP raster images. GPNav features enhanced real time graphics for depicting height, depth, DOP, Sats, Pitch and Roll. It also features a steering indicator which can be configured in three ways(left/right steering, distance to go, and inline/cross line depictions). The graphical interface can be customized in many different ways to suit the job.

GPNav uses SHP files as the basis for tracking. Any SHP point can be the single current target. The user can click on the point he wants to be the target, specify the target by name or press a button to increment the target. When logging, the user can have the next target automatically be selected once the current target is logged. The user can also follow a script, which is a simple file containing the stations to be shot (in the order they appear in the file).

GPNav has support for inputting up to two positions, heading and depth. It also supports a port for outputting the vessel position (for example, if relaying the position). Logging can be on time, distance, zero inline to target, serial line event or automatically when certain criteria are met (within a specified distance to target, speed has dropped below a certain value, and a specified time has elapsed). In the zero inline mode, you can elect to raise a serial line in advance of the zero inline shot and raise a second line at the exact time of the shot. This could be used for applications such as shallow marine seismic.

GPLocator is an application capable of tracking up to 100 vehicles simultaneously in real time. Starting with Version 2005.1, it is distributed during any installation or update, but it is an optional application which requires unique key programming. Contact DSS Inc. for pricing.

GPLocator allows each vehicle to be configured with regard to its symbol type, color and label. Several serial and network communication protocols are supported and we will gladly add custom communication protocols for users at no charge. At present, five distict serial protocols, two flat file formats, Internet UDP packets and Fleet Management Solutions (FMS) web requested data is supported. There are logging and playback capabilities, and a utility that converts the log file into an MDB database and allows the user full query and reporting capabilities. Alerts include tests for proximity, exclusion zone, data age, and vehicle movement.
