The #1 choice of surveying pros for 5 years running*

* According to Business News Publishing Company's "Surveying and Mapping Industry Studies, 1995 - 2000" TDS data collection surveying software has held a greater than 50% U.S. market share of data collector software. Total includes TDS sales and TDS software sold by dealers and TDS partner companies over the past 5 years.

TDS designed and developed Survey Pro software and the TDS Ranger handheld computer to make the best use of the Windows CE operating system. No other company in the business offers such a tightly integrated powerful data collection system. And you can get local sales, service and support from a TDS dealer near you. TDS - it's the way to go.
Survey Pro 3.0 surveying software is a complete data collection and field computation package for surveyors and other field professionals. Now you can edit all point properties, including attributes and geodetic information, right in the field. You can also work with reflectorless total stations, generate digital terrain models, collect attribute data and organize your work as you go. Even with all these additions, Survey Pro 3.0 is easier to use. That's because the updated layout helps you navigate where you want to go in the software with fewer steps. We've even made the calculator easier to use by giving it bigger, high-visibility buttons.

Of course, you can still depend on the benefits of earlier Survey Pro versions. You can use it for traverse, sideshot, coordinate geometry, staking, and adjustment routines. Its advanced Road Layout routines enable you to enter horizontal and vertical alignments with templates or cross sections that define the alignment. As you stake, offsets are automatically adjusted based on your road file. Survey Pro supports spiral curves, widenings and super elevations.

Combined with the rugged Ranger, Survey Pro 3.0 is a real productivity booster. The new Ranger 200C comes with 64 MB of SDRAM to run your programs and a 128 MB flash disk that gives you plenty of room to store your data and program files. The new Ranger's 256-color touch screen is easy to read in bright sunlight, and it has an internal light you can turn on in low light conditions. And its rugged shell and soft polyurethane exterior absorb shock and make the Ranger slip-resistant and comfortable to hold.
