STARPAL

Mobile Mapping Software

Our clients have described Starpal software as the easiest most delightful GPS/GIS data software they have ever used.

A version is available for all major processors. from Win NT to Pocket Pc2003 devices. The program is extremely efficient taking just 460kb of memory to run (current version). The major benefit to clients is simplicity. The ability to pick up the product and start using it immediately to obtain data is very satisfying, and then seamlessly download data into ArcView or MapInfo compatible databases is most rewarding: For clients who have had to struggle with designing data dictionaries in propriety formats, then marry the dictionary to their collection file data and do up to 4 steps to get data into a GIS database, will appreciate how elegant this system is.

With Starpal you can design your attribute list on your Desktop GIS and seamlessly import the file onto your Micronics 2007 CE palm computer or laptop. When you open the file (layer) you automatically invoke your attribute list.

Downloading collected data is a simple matter of connecting the data logger to your Desktop computer and using *Windows Explorer to move files into your GIS project.

Because of the close co-operation and input with the programmers, Micronics has ensured that the Australian AMG co-ordinates are using the Higgins 7 parameter figures for maximum precision, which means you can use High accuracy RTK GPS to obtain GIS data. Of course GDA 94 is standard.
