342 Topcon Europe Positioning has released SurveyMaster Lite, a new CAD-based desktop application for surveying and job site information editing and plotting.

Mark Contino, TPS (Topcon Positioning Systems, Livermore, USA) vice president of product marketing, said: "SurveyMaster Lite is a cost-efficient surveying office software package perfect for the cadastral surveying and construction stakeout professional." Modelled from Topcon's SurveyMaster software program, SurveyMaster Lite is loaded with survey specific functionality as well as surface modelling and contouring tools. It provides tools required to produce final plats and survey calculations for property surveys, topographic maps and ALTA surveys, and is designed so users can manage data from raw format all the way through to a finished plot. Survey calculations can be completed and uploaded to the field collector for stakeout and field verification.

Contino said: "SurveyMaster Lite is the perfect addition to complete any Topcon instrument system. It completes the cycle of a 'field-to-finish' solution. The program is on the USB drive so users can simply take the USB Drive with them and have the program on any PC.

"It was designed by surveyors that have the software experience needed to understand what is needed to manage site and surveying data efficiently."

    Laser scanners and improved data collection and analysis software are making light of asset management surveying. David Arminas reports The age of the laser scanner is upon us, taking over from traditional manual methods of surveying, data collection and processing. These new technical developments are making it much easier to process and use the data captured and are providing highways engineers with powerful tools to record, map and visualise their assets. This is good news for highways authorities

    Greater precision is helping blur the boundaries between GIS technology and design software While GIS map based technology has extended its range across an ever more universal spectrum of uses in the highways sector, it is increasingly showing weaknesses for engineering purposes. It is very often not accurate enough. This has not mattered previously because the GIS tool has been seen essentially as an automated version of paper based systems from the design department's point of view. Where engineers
