Tripod Data Systems Releases "SOLO Office 2.0 - A desktop companion for
its SOLO CE GPS/GIS mapping software
January 3, 2001-Tripod Data Systems (TDS) today announced
the immediate availability of SOLO Office 2.0, the desktop companion for
its
SOLO CE GPS/GIS mapping software. The major upgrades to TDS' Windows-based
project management software include new raster image compression and
basemap
preparation functions.
"TDS' new raster image format now provides up to a 9-to-1 compression of
TIF files," said Matt Lehman, TDS' GIS products manager. "That means our
customers can take more images into the field to use on their Pocket PCs
and
other Windows CE devices," he said. SOLO Office 2.0 will also allow
customers to select specific portions of an image for download and will
supply geo reference information to scanned images.
TDS has also added a basemap preparation routine that will allow users
better control over the basemap files that are used in the field. "We've
giving our customers a tool that allows them to cut a specific area out of
a large organization-wide basemap," Lehman said. "With SOLO Office 2.0, you
can select and download only those portions of the basemap database that
are necessary for your current project."
Additional enhancements include an improved project display and editing
tools, project printing capabilities, a new feature file editor and batch
file transfer routines.
