“Friends at Traverse PC, “Just wanted let you all know that I will retire on January 3rd after nearly 41 years with the Forest Service.  Traverse PC has been a part of my Land Surveying Tool box since late 1987 or early 1988.  The first version (DOS) I ran on a 20 megabyte hard drive PC.  Those were the days.  Thanks for developing a great tool (software package) that has assisted me in providing 1st class products to my Forest Service clients. “Again thank you for your support and those occasional personal interactions on the phone, conferences and workshops.  Also, I thought I would share a photo of myself decked out in Traverse PC bling.” Leland Fischer, PLS, U.S. Forest Service, Wenatchee, WA

Gary Ganjon and Keith Heindel of Hanover Land Services in Westminster, MD

After a whole day of struggling to get a finished drawing out for our client, we loaded up a trial version of Traverse PC v8.0 (TPC) and within 4 hours, we were signing and sealing a final plan for delivery. “Since that time, we have continued to grow our company utilizing TPC.

“To all of the staff at Traverse PC: Thank you so much for having the webinars and including the CEU certificates, especially for those who are TPC Connection members.

“TPC is perfectly suited for surveyors of all types”

Jack Kesler Trains BLM for Lode Mining Claims

I am a Mineral Surveyor and have been one for some time. The BLM retained me to teach BLM surveyors at the National training center in Phoenix the methods of dependent resurveys of Lode mining claims. I put the plat together as a demo for my talks and lectures on how to follow the notes. It also served as a lead in to why TPC is perfectly suited for surveyors of all types. The NTS training sessions were designed to explain how the original MS surveys were executed in reality to aid the BLM surveyors in their dependent resurveys. Most of the dependent surveys here in our county were done poorly with reference to compass rule relocation as opposed to the grant boundary method. I worked for a Mineral Surveyor while at the University of Arizona. I received my appointment in the early 1980’s.

“Traverse PC is perhaps the most innovative survey/analysis/drawing software by NOT trying to innovate (change) how surveys are done!”

“Traverse PC is perhaps the most innovative survey/analysis/drawing software by NOT trying to innovate (change) how surveys are done! It uses data in groups, made logically as a surveyor thinks, called ‘TRAVERSES’. It increases the surveyor’s confidence, drawing accuracy, and in the end, productivity.” J.

Legal Description Phrases

“To all of the staff at Traverse P.C. : I had to take a moment to thank you all, for the great new feature, Phrase Driven Legal Descriptions.

Organizing Complex Surveys

“Traverse PC is a great company to work with and they produce the best software for land surveyors. First, the software is made specifically for land surveying, organizing survey data such as points, traverses and drawings far better than any CAD program can do. The more complicated the project, the more Traverse PC software rises above the competition. Also, the customer service is outstanding. They are very responsive to customer input and also provide individualized help in using the software. The software is constantly being updated with new features. I cannot say enough good things about this company.” Ben Yanez, RLS  – Globe, AZ

“This surveying software is a complete package and does everything I need as a Texas surveyor”

On September 29, 2017   /   Customer Stories  

“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 super easy to enter data in varas and calculate in varas. No more converting back and forth outside the program. They did this for their customers in Texas! “Can’t say enough good things about Mark Lull in Support at Traverse PC.

“Without Traverse PC our company would not have this lucrative contract.”

On May 24, 2016   /   Customer Stories  

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 Canadian arctic to keep vigil which we still do today. “Unfortunately all these years and mountains of garbage toxins and PCB’s, etc were deposited on hundreds of acres of pristine tundra. No possible way to dispose properly and nobody cared. Today the 23 major sites, 58 altogether if you count intermediate are either being demolished or if they are not decommissioned they will be
