The following are some unsolicited online comments we've received:

"I have used TN and TN Pro for almost three years - pretty much since hearing about it on this forum. Topo USA was provided to us state guys but the screen was too busy and the software just not as user friendly as TN."

"I use it for everything I do in the field, property perimeters, laying out plot lines and plot locations, determining acreages for fires and tree planting, IDing new roads and structures (color coded) for urban interface, etc."

"I generally preplan my day by printing a map of the area where I will be working with all the necessary information I need. I download the information to my GPS and hit the woods. At the end of the day, I download all my track logs, new waypoints, etc. to the computer. Figuring acreage is as simple as running a traverse, right-clicking on the boundary, and clicking "information"."

"For fire control, when we arrive on scene, the first thing we do is call a lat/long in to dispatch. They call up the coordinates and can see where we are and what kind of terrain we are working in. When we get fire coordinates from the plane, we can print copies of the surrounding area before we leave the shop. That way everyone has a working knowledge of the area. It makes the job safer when in unfamiliar territory."

Robert Loper, a private landowner with some 500 acres in Alabama lists the following ways Maptech
helps him:

Economical for a small landowner.

Multi-use maps can be generated easily.

Powerful in combination with GPS.

Easy to learn and use.

Can produce maps for logging operations, tax records, pine beetle spots, long-term planning, spray      applications, burn permits, boundaries.

Maps are seamless and always at your fingertips.

Great aid in communication with loggers and foresters.

"Bottom line - Terrain Navigator is a well thought out product that is easy to use, does everything I need it to do, and is extremely affordable. Somebody will have to work real hard to get me to change to another program!"
