A Single Southern Guy In America

« The Few, The Proud, The Bloggers | Main | Vaya Con Dios, Mi Amigo » March 02, 2004 Webpage Designer Alright, now I'm really stretching... Most of today has been spent designing and coding my brother in law's website for a program he has written and has available for download. His program is called GPSCAD Transfer and allows Magellan GPS device users to convert their GPS waypoints into an AutoCAD format and then map various locations. The market for such a program is rather wide open; public safety agencies, utilities, agribusiness, even campaigns could all use this application to more effectively and efficently target their resources as long as they have the matching data layers. In any case, those readers that understand such forms of technology should feel free to click on over and download a copy of the program and try it out during the free 30 day trial. From what I understand, similar applications can run as much as $6,000 and require the purchase of specialized hardware. His is $75 for a full license and works seamlessly with AutoCAD. And for those readers who just want to take a glace at my amateur web page authoring skills, you can just click here and feel free to wear me out with all criticisms, critiques, comments, and friendly advice on how to tweak thepage into looking better.

If you want I will look at it more closely but I don't have a lot of time tonight. You should probably put your style stuff in a separate .css file. All in all not bad for a start but I am an awful designer so what do I know. I let other people come up with designs and I make them work. Posted by: Starhawk at March 2, 2004 09:11 PM I actually used to create maps using datapoints and plot them manually with MapInfo's suite of mapping software products. A major use is for cold-calling companies and outside sales people who have four to five appointments a day, especially in new cities. You not only shorten your route, you can add prospects that are in the neighborhood that allow the salesman to make a cold-call with the pitch, "I was in the area at ....., and remembered you were next door. maybe we can schedule something the next time I am here?" Works well in tandem with inside sales calls. Yet another thing we have in common. Between you me, and a lamppost, I have an interview tomorrow. Wish me luck.
