This software is designed for:
bullet the students of surveying,
bullet the students of architecture, geography, geology, drainage and other faculties,
bullet the pupils of technical schools where surveying is lectured.

Presented software can be very helpful for the teachers during their lectures and lessons and for the students during their self learning sessions. This educational software is the simulation of the field measurements.

This programs can be also employed to test the knowledge of the students.
