LandMark CE GPS Utility Program

LandMark CE is a GPS utility program that serves as a bridge between a GPS receiver, an Allegro field PC, and one or more application specific programs.

Recognising the need for real-time GPS data to be incorporated into custom and third-party application software, Juniper Systems developed LandMark CE to manage the GPS receiver connectivity functions and provide services such as navigation, tracking prescribed routes, and recording the position of specific occupied points. Point averaging and off-set capabilities are included.

LandMark CE runs concurrently with your main data collection and processing programs. By using a hot key, GPS data are sent directly to your application.
