GPS2TurboCAD is GPS software that gives design professionals major cost savings in data collection by using recreational-grade GPS units to collect field information and plot it in TurboCAD, AutoCAD, or other CAD programs. Most recreational GPS units are well-suited for site layout and 'topo-plotting' requirements that do not need great accuracy, and GPS2TurboCAD bridges the gap between these GPS units and CAD. GPS2TurboCAD lets you easily bring your GPS points into your CAD environment. At the click of a button, you can plot polylines, points, and blocks. Blocks and points can be plotted in 3D, for use in terrain modeling packages, and the blocks carry attributes showing all the point data.

Here's just a few of the major features:

-Plots the waypoints in TurboCAD
-Plots the points on free public domain Aerial Photos, Topographic maps, or Tiger (Census) maps from TerraServer-USA
-Converts points to State Plane Coordinate System
-Performs a 'Real Time' capture of points, plotting them in AutoCAD or into an Access 2000 Database
-On-Line help system that always provides the latest information
-DXF Export for use in other CAD programs
-Imports files from Garmin's MapSource and Magellan's MapSend
-Imports points from text files through the Import Wizard
