Copan for Windows is a very functional and easy-to-use geomatics engineering tool for computing and managing plane land survey coordinates.

It does numerous coordinate geometry (COGO) calculations, processes and adjusts raw field survey data, computes and adjusts map traverse data, performs map or deed checks, calculates areas and perimeters, performs coordinate transformations, and imports/exports Ascii files. It supports quadrant and whole-circle bearings, south-based and north-based circle bearings, and gons (or grads) as well as degrees.

It supports Geodimeter, Leica, Wild, Nikon and TDS total station formats.

Also, its coordinate files may be accessed by UGL's version of Windows Free42, an HP-42S simulator program, or copied to a memory card and used directly by the Palm OS and Pocket PC versions of Copan.

Designed for land surveyors, geodetic engineers, professionals and students, Copan is available for download, free of charge.
