GPS2CAD gives design professionals major cost savings in data collection by using recreational-grade GPS units to collect field information and plot it in AutoCAD, or their favorite CAD program.

Most recreational GPS units are well-suited for site layout and "topo-plotting" requirements that do not need great accuracy, and GPS2CAD bridges the gap between these GPS units and CAD.

GPS Units

Most GPS units from Garmin and Magellan are compatible with GPS2CAD, and connect at the click of a button.In addition, GPS2CAD will read files exported from Garmin's MapSource and Magellan's Mapsend.

Point files from other GPS and post-processing programs can be read into GPS2CAD through an extensive "Import Wizard".

Works with Your Favorite CAD Program

GPS2CAD is the only GPS software we know of that is directly compatable with AutoCAD Versions 14.01 through 2006 and 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 attrubutes showing all the point data.

For other CAD packages, including AutoCAD LT., GPS2CAD exports .DXF files, readable by most CAD programs. All the point information is included in the .DXF file!

Provides Datum Translation

GPS2CAD translates the GPS into more than 40 world wide coordinate systems, including the extremely popular NAD 27, NAD 83, and the State Plane Coordinate systems (used in the United States). 

This outstanding GPS software gives you tremendous savings in the cost of field data collection. It is the BEST Product (and we think the ONLY product) for capturing the points from your hand-held GPS unit and taking them into AutoCAD or your favorite CAD program.
