Do you have a Citrix Server system in your operation? How would you like to supply all your offices with PatchMap? Yup, can do, call for details.

New products:     IR FireSpot™ Program; a complete tool for HotSpot-Helipad documentation for (non GIS experts) pilots.

Specially designed to satisfy Airborne Hot Spot Detection documentation.

Do you need facility or pipeline inspections done but would like to be able to thoroughly review the video?  Ask about the 360° camera viewer & mapping system (PatchView™) we are working on both helicopter and vehicle mounts.

Ever wonder why everyone makes a big deal about sour gas wellsites then don't identify them? we've changed that! 

The wellsite waypoints are named by their bottom hole (just like ERCB calls them) and have information attached to them: Now with the Operator as part of the search, licence date and number & status; visible directional drill lines and > 10PPM sour halo.

Do you need a template for dispatching? We have built a free pdf to do just that.

BushMap™ our 'hunting' version, identifies the WMU as the background info and contains seismic & contour lines.

Do you use DNR for moving GIS shape files to your Garmin? Ready for a new interface? Try our GIS2G software ($10).

AgMap™ allows you to find and navigate to any farm in the prairie provinces township system when using a Garmin Nuvi or StreetPilot ... and it's the cheap too ! AgMap™ is now contained in PatchMap™.

Looking for a program that will allow you to add your field data to a Garmin map such as PatchMap? try our new software AddMyMap™.

PatchMap™ now contains COSSD oil & gas service sector waypoints ...  and a Custom POI dataset is available at: www.cossd.com!

Safety systems should start with PatchMap™ but we also create specialized GPS tools to keep your crews safe even without PatchMap™!

Some newer Garmin GPS units no longer read 3rd party maps such as PatchMap, BushMap and AgMap; including Garmin's own (older) maps.  SkyBase maps continue to function on most models and we hope Garmin will fix this soon.

So far the affected units are:                                                        Oregon & Colorado, GPSMap 62 & 78, nüvi 3700 series

Please call before purchasing or upgrading to these models.

Try these steps to reset your nüvi:

1)  If it's been dead for a while, make sure that the fuse isn't burnt out in the end of the power cable.                                              2) After removing from the window cradle for about 15 seconds, turn the unit ON while pressing the bottom right corner of the screen.                                       3)Plug it into a computer via the USB cable and it should boot up by itself.

If none of these things work, bring it into us if possible. It may have to go see the doctor.

mapsource info...

For the Oregon & Colorado series: If you have updated the firmware recently and find that BushMap is gone, you need to backdate the firmware in order to see it again.

Here's the link to a resource that contains the older firmware.

______________________

If you have an older version of MapSource use the Update to V6.13.6 link.... if you have updated to a newer version and noticed that it looks funny and would like the old one back, use the Backdate to V6.13.6 link.

Explanation: MapSource V6.13.6 and older display in a world mercator projection; that means that north (in the northern hemisphere) is always up and 1 km E-W is the same screen distance as 1 km N-S. After V6.13.7 there no longer is a projection; that means that screen distance is expressed by 1 Latitude = 1 Longitude.... on the equator these are equal but the further north you go, the more they differ... the end result is in Alberta, a circle will be shown squashed... almost twice as wide as it is tall.

To test which vintage you have, create a Waypoint then give it a Proximity of 5 km.... what do you see? If the appearance doesn't matter to you, you're good to go; if it does use the Backdate to V6.13.6 link above.... you must already have MapSource or this link will not work... and MapSource must be closed when you run the Backdate loader.
