“Traverse PC software’s high degree of customization allows it to adapt to the surveyor instead of the other way around. It is an intuitive package as well as a powerful one. The software reflects that it is developed by surveyors for surveyors. It’s not without its faults, but the developers are continually refining the software and take into account user feedback. Technical support is excellent – response is fast, clear, and courteous.” Jerry Mahun – Cuba City, WI

I bought the Traverse PC Desktop Professional Edition in 2016 soon after beginning my consulting practice. I called and spoke with owner and founder John Balcom to place my order. Technical work and drafting are not my strong suits but this surveying software is a complete package and does everything I need as a Texas surveyor. My practice frequently involves retracement of original surveys, all reported in varas. Traverse PC recently added varas to its list of units making it … Read More

2007 – 2013 I’m working in the high Arctic on a project called the DEW Line Clean Up (DLCU). DEW is an acronym for Distant Early Warning systems. Which is a joint project of the Canadian and American military. When the Cold War began in the early 50’s we decided we needed some sort of protective warning system in case the Russians were to attack us from the North so we constructed a line of radar facilities in the high … Read More

“I’ve used Traverse PC since the early 90’s and I’m continually impressed by their commitment to upgrade the program and its ability to exchange data with AutoCAD, Micro station, Civil 3D, and Google. It’s very easy to complete a finished product.” Doug Richmond, LS, CFM – Fredericksburg, VA
Jim Riotto LS – Paradise, CA
“I have been using Traverse PC for a number of years and know it’s a great program, however, I didn’t realize how very accurate the computations were, especially with regards to curves and their included / excluded areas. Had the occasion to check a final map with numerous curves along the frontage of the lots that had been compiled using AutoCAD. The number of discrepancies that were found in the curve data and the lot areas was astonishing. Thank you … Read More

Ok, so yes I’m bragging about my daughter, but I also think Traverse P-C should be proud that they’ve made a program so easy that even a 10 year old can pick it up quickly and create her 5th grade geography project using it. I gave her minimal instruction and helped her find the base map, but she really did this all herself. Her “project description” up in the corner tells what she did.
