Mapping programs?

[randomiam]

I work for utiliquest up in the northwest and right now we're still using the usb pen and clip mapping methord.. We should be transitioning to something else fairly soon and I'm trying to get an idea of what we'll be using- and I imagine you guys in other parts of the country are already using it..

So how do they require you guys to map out your locates right now?

thanks

We use a digital camera to take a picture of the actual locate. I still never understood drawing out your locates.

i'm not for sure what you're talking about but if i'm right.....we use streets and trips down this way to route ourselves out.....mostly everywhere for utiliquest/sts

[beyond help]

Just streets and trips here.

uhhh, I think he means mapping for utilities? right? I've Used OSP Viewer as well as Autodesk (typical CAD program) but what we usually use here thanks to a very well designed research center.... the actual asbuilts of the project we are working near.

and if i'm wrong .... whoops
