Now you can collect your GIS and survey data for use on not only Google Earth but also most GIS and CAD systems. CartoGoo is as simple to use as a post-it note is with paper. Just go to site and collect data, CartoGoo will do the rest.

Main features include:

* Hand held GPS
* Easy to use and intuitive
* Google Earth interface
* Import/Export KML files
* GPS calibration
* GIS data collection (Points, Lines, Polygons)
* Multiple survey methods
* Construction methods
* Multiple data overlays (DXF, DWG…)
* Coordinate conversion to local system.

CartoGoo provides very low cost and free tools for surveying and map making. Using CartoGoo you can measure and record your data right in the field using GPS, Total Stations, Lasers and even the occasional tape measure.

With CartoGoo all data is recorded graphically while still onsite, so you can immediately see and check your work. Thus eliminating costly site revisits and errors. CartoGoo also lets you view your work in full 3D and even places you right on the map with our Google Earth interface. This functionality is not only for collecting new data, you can also bring your existing plans and drawings out to site for checking and editing.

CartoGoo aims to provide its products for free, and has several programs in place to distribute its products to developing countries and academic institutions. The CartoGoo project is supported through training courses, support activities, donations, and custom development.

Please tell us about your mapping work and your projects, and especially anything that you think might help. CartoGoo is a collaborative group so please let us know about your requirements. Email us: info@cartogoo.com
