It’s no small wonder that, after more than 30 years, the various models of CMT handheld data collectors are still serving many of our loyal customers. We are proud of our durable and reliable products and deeply appreciate our faithful clients. "These things just won't die!" - Tom Rowe, Mark W. Whiteley & Associates, Inc. (9/23/13) "Thanks for stepping up and giving surveyors a device that works for us as well as the old HP Calculators did; your equipment has been as rock solid as they were; we put them to the test every day and well - I have 2 that are 25 years old and they both still work - That says much!" - R.J.S. (1/30/15) The world moves on, however. And so must you. Some of you have already picked up the Windows CE or Windows Mobile devices and are enjoying the colorful map display, the much reduced size and weight as well as the user-friendly and powerful functions of our FieldCE GIS or FieldCE Survey GPS/GIS mapping and data collection software. If the typical PDA screen is too small for you, there are the Windows Tablet PC’s that will run our PC-GIS for mapping and navigation, and our PC-MAPPER for GPS/GIS data collection and navigation. Now that many of you own an Apple iPhone, iPod or iPad, CMT is here again to provide professional quality software at affordable pricing. iCMTGIS PRO GPS/GIS data collection and mapping app will run on the iPad and iPhone devices. These apps can be purchased via the Apple App Store. For a preview of a particular app listed at the App Store, please click on the relevant link. To discuss your data collection software needs, please send an email to: support@cmtinc.com |

Which GPS to purchase? |
||
| Recent advances in technology have made it possible for the SIRF III GPS chip set to provide outstanding performance. The trend is for positioning devices to become less and less expensive. The software to organize and interpret the data will become the critical portion of the entire system. As an example to illustrate this point, it is easy to take the body temperature, but it is expensive and of vital importance for a medical doctor to make a diagnosis based on the temperature measurement and other factors. | ||
| Therefore, we have come to the conclusion that a good solution for GPS/GIS users is to buy a rugged waterproof PDA with built-in GPS that runs Windows CE Mobile 5.0, 6.0 or WEHH Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5, and order the Field CE GIS and PC-GIS PRO software package from CMT. There are now rugged smart phones available that also work as a Windows CE PDA with built in GPS. Alternatively, you could get an iPad or iPhone device to run our iOS GPS/GIS software for various applications.There are now a number of compatible GPS devices available, ranging from inexpensive GIS-grade Bluetooth GPS for general use to high-precision Bluetooth GPS/GNSS receivers for data collection or surveying. | ||

| Our products are being put to good use by thousands of professionals. However, if you are a newcomer, please go through the following steps to find out more about our products before making a purchasing decision. | ||||
| 1. | Click on the product link to view a brochure for the product of interest to you. | |||
| 2. | Click the “Function List” link under the software product to see a detailed list of software functions. | |||

| 4. | Click the “Price List” link under the software product to see the list prices. Contact CMT to request quantity purchase discounts or educational discounts. | Back | ||
| Software Upgrades | ||
| CMT software version upgrades occur about once every few years. Please budget for these upgrades. They are required and necessary. Technology keeps moving forward. As more and more powerful file formats become available, such as MRSID and JPEG2000, and Microsoft advances to newer Windows OS, our software must be changed to keep up. | ||
| Generally, software products are forward compatible but not backward compatible. This means that you will be able to use PC-GPS 09 to open files created by PC-GPS 07 and PC-GPS 05, but a map file created by PC-GPS 09 will not open in PC-GPS 07 or PC-GPS 05. (The PC-GPS 09 file format is a superset of those of the older versions.) | Back |
