Since 1973 the Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) has provided radio-navigation
through satellites and ground support to allow users to determine accurately their
position and velocity. Smart Data Strategies has now added GPS technology as an extension to its popular
Analyst software to allow GIS
users to determine precise locations for any natural or human-made feature within
or outside a parcel. This includes the position and dimensions of everything from
power lines to rights of way to the exact coordinated of a home's exterior.
Raymond Vaughn, Smart Data Strategies' vice-president of software development, explains, "By adding GPS
technology, Analyst users will be able
to conveniently perform diverse functions from quickly confirming the exact dimensions
of a garage to automatically inputting the address for a parcel while driving by in a car.
Of course Analyst still provides users with
the ability to graphically identify, locate, and display parcels with useful annotation.
What we've added is a vital feature to make one of the industry's most popular
tools even more practical."

Analyst is the first
software product I have purchased that worked right the first
time and every time since."
