Traverse PC - Videos On Line (Land Surveying Software, Land Survey Software, COGO Software, Land Surveyor Software)

Traverse PC has been providing land surveying software since 1987. Here's what some of our users have to say:

'I did not realize at the time I purchased the program that I was not only buying software, but I had purchased a company that truly cares about its customers and could “look over my shoulder” to personally help me be a successful user.' Jim Sollmi, PELS, Farmington, CT

“Probably the most cost effective and efficient surveying and mapping software I have used over the past 25 years hands down!” Charles E. Porter, Kirkland, WA

"The economics are simple. Without Traverse PC our company would not have this lucrative contract." Bob Holtkamp, AB, Canada

"Traverse PC is one of the best." Gordon Bell, IN

"The last 22 years I have previewed numerous COGO software programs, but have never found anything close to Traverse PC, and with the ability to draft maps, the program is complete." Pete Ketcham, ID

"TPC Desktop is more impressive than any AutoCAD version that I have ever used." Bryan Hartsook, VA

"I really like a point based program like TPC and the friendly drawing environment that TPC has. There is no need for a lot of extensive/expensive training to do good, efficient work with TPC." Glenn Eastman, OR

"I cannot say enough about the Managers in TPC 2010... What a super great system!!! TPC will surely dominate all survey and CAD programs..." Jim Creasy, PA

"Traverse PC also includes the best, most personal, technical support we have ever seen in 26 years of surveying." Keith A. Heindel & Gary J. Ganjon, MD

"As a former CAD user, I have found the versatility and ease of use of Traverse PC to be a great benefit to my business." Dan Barry, NY

"[Traverse PC] is easier to use, less expensive, gets the job done, and comes from caring people who understand surveying and surveying needs." Joe Nachtrieb, CO

"Great stuff! You don't need to send me any other software, as I am perfectly happy with TPC and have no intentions of changing to anything else...and I have tried the other software." Randy Green, TN

"Once again you have set the standard for others to attain." George Anderson, NJ

"REALLY like everything I've seen so far... Things seem so much simpler & straight forward. Think you guys have something great here!" Cliff Tuck, AR

"[Traverse PC] is very user friendly and produces high quality survey plats." Fred Haidt, AL

"Traverse PC is the way to go for all Land Surveyors." Pete Jackson, CA

"While it has similarities to ACAD, . I would say [Traverse PC] is much more user (and surveyor) friendly." Scott Freshwaters, OR

"[Traverse PC has] cut my total production time down by making map preparation faster and easier." Sergio Sanchez, CA

"If you need surveying software, we highly recommend TPC be at the top of your list. We have found the product and support to provide us with the tools we need to improve our efficiency, accuracy and effectiveness when working for our clients." Keith A. Heindel & Gary J. Ganjon, MD

"Traverse PC is the one tool my little company has that does it all." Steve Parker, CO

“I find Traverse PC very easy and efficient to use. The applications are logical and the learning curve is very short. I would highly recommend this survey software for all land surveyors." David Holland, VA

"Yu ROCK! I am a student... ...I find the program to be very user friendly. Traverse PC is helpful with understanding how data is used to make decisions in a survey, as well as providing a visual image illustrating what the data collected is trying to show." Joel Kayser, NY

Introduction

TPC Desktop (7:41) See how TPC works!

Quick View™ (19:16) Our Quick View™ technology turns your data into drawings.

Traverses (16:07) Add a traverse and do a COGO intersect, recall bearings and enter curves.

Importing Data (10:21) Import data and and convert the points to features in a drawing.

Importing CAD (10:06) Import a CAD drawing.

Surfaces (10:22) Create a surface, edit breaklines, draw contours, compute volumes and slopes.

Using the TPC Desktop

Managers (5:55) Easily manage data like Point, Traveres and Drawings.

Docking Managers (6:35) Learn how to dock and tab managers.

Windows (10.39) Use windows to expose just the survey data you want.

Arranging Windows (8:28) Resize, tile and tab non-docking views.

Geodetics - New in TPC Desktop 2011

Geodetic Intro (13:18) Learn how geodetics are used in project settings, traverses, COGO and drawings.

Latitude / Longitude (10:07) Learn where and how to use geodetic positions, scale factors and convergence angles.

Geodetic Distance and Direction (10:34) See how grid distance and direction compare with geodetic distance and direction.

Geodetic Closure and Area (7:28) Compute geodetic closures and areas in the Closure View, Traverses Manager and Drawings.

Geodetic COGO (5:29) COGO routines are just as comfortable using geodetic positions as they are using grid coordinates.

Cadastral - PLSS - New in TPC Desktop 2011

Example BLM Project G2346 - demonstrates typical BLM work flow using TPC. Over 30 videos, pdf outline and sample files. Watch a short video, then do the steps yourself.

True Bearings and Ground Distance (12:22) TPC uses geodesics to compute and inverse true (mean) bearings and geodesic (arc) distances.

Geodetic Closure and Area (6:59) Compares the closure and area computed geodetically with grid computations and compass rule adjustment.

Double Proportion (10:42) Do double proportions with or without cardinal offsets!

Single Proportion (5:35) Do single proportions with or without offsets to the latitudinal arc (East-West lines) !

Irregular Boundary Adjustment (4:34) TPC treats this like just another coordinate adjustment but provides the intermediate values you would get with a manual adjustment.

Grant Boundary Adjustment (4:31) TPC treats this like just another coordinate adjustment but provides adjustment details for each course in addition to each point.

Sec 1, Dependent Resurvey (14:19) Enter a section broundary per PLSS and check the closure and area.
