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™!

Please note: Some newer Garmin GPS units no longer read 3rd party maps such as PatchMap, BushMap and AgMap; including Garmin's older maps. See FAQ-Help above

for your pc...

This is a magical tool!               You're only a few clicks away from both a job specific map and a turn by turn listing; printable for your records or to hand to a driver.          For those requiring topographical information, we have a Topo Version

Here's a user guide.

 

 

         @700 m           @700m w/topo

Welcome to the most complete and concise set of digital road datasets covering the oil and gas areas of Alberta and BC; in existence ANYWHERE. Presently that means over 85,000 km of roads not found in other maps.

PatchMap™ is Oil & Gas Patch specific mapping containing Wellsites, Compressorsites,  Plantsites Batteries, Satellites and Misc. Facilities; the Township and BC's PNG Grids and thousands of geographical points; served up on Garmin's MapSource and nRoute software.

This allows you to use the best road data available in a format that some of you may already recognize. In addition to the roads we've included all the wellsites ever licensed, and township information that resides in the background wherever you go. Free LSD conversion built right into the map ! If you want to know which LSD-Section-Township-Range-Meridian that you're in, you just move your cursor to the side and it is immediately displayed.

By utilising nRoute (Garmin's moving map program; free once you have MapSource), the laptop becomes the pivot point for all work done; from navigation  to project management, as you can have dynamic links to worksite documentation.

Sharing route designs, tracks and location information is as easy as 'File/ Send Mail...' (MapSource is required at each end) a tiny file is automatically bottled up into an attachment ready for an e-mail address... how much easier can it get? Now the office and field staff are looking at exactly the same map and the entire map does not need to be duplicated at each end!!

for your gps...

Are you "the one"?                           Well, you'll probably want the        GPS version so that you can change your driving itinerary on the fly and never have to worry!                    

Here's a brochure...and a user guide

Want to eliminate the laptop?            Try the Kenwood DNX 9140  (in the dash navigation/multimedia system) with a 7" touch screen ... amazing!

Or maybe the Nuvi 700 series:

 

If you want nothing to do with a computer but need PatchMap™, we have PatchMap SD™ that slides into a portable Garmin to instantly give you coverage of all of  the 'patch' in Sask, Alberta and BC

Searching for wellsites or LSDs that are a great distance away has been simplified, and several extra pieces of information are included: multiple zone indicators (00,02,03), Operator, licence number and date, strike area and present status.

The PatchMap™ dataset has been locked to the SD card instead of a particular Garmin GPS unit. This allows the same card to be moved between GPS units that you may own, with no ramifications: Garmin's practice has been to lock the mapsets to a particular GPS unit.

All sour facilities announce themselves, by voice on GPS units that can play mp3s and with alarm tone and text on the rest, when you get within 60m of them !

HOW DO WE DO THAT ?????

Advertise your services right on our GPS maps - go to the advertising page for details.

Attn Truckers: safety concerns from blind corners to narrow bridges to steep hills and chain up areas will announce themselves. This dataset will be available from this website as a download and we are experimenting with building visible danger areas right into the map. We have labelled this product HazPatch™ ... stay tuned.


for citrix...

Are you trying to economise? Are you running Citrix Server systems already? Just load PatchMap in one place and use it everywhere !


 New: for laptop (navigation only)...

 Are you trying to economise in the field? Are you running a laptop already? Use PatchMap Mobile ... it looks like a nüvi but has the power of a PC; works nicely with UMPCs (Ultra Mobile PC) with built-in GPS (doesn't need to be a Garmin).

 New: on UMPC...

We have rigged up an Ultra Mobile PC (7" screen) with this system that will double as both PC and GPS ... a very good solution for some applications. We will be selling these as a system soon.
