Below are links to the companies whose products we sell. We continuously investigate new products to make sure we are offering the most rugged and economic equipment to educational personnel. As educators ourselves, we know how difficult it is to find the time to investigate the various products out there, so we do the homework for you. Please contact us if you need more information on any of the products we sell or are interested in ways to incorporate the technology into your teaching or research.

| In addition, we provide the following links to services we find useful for field scientists: |
EasyGPS
A free program to enable downloading and uploading of your GPS unit to a computer. While not an issue with Magellans and Garmins, it is useful for the small units such as the US Global Sat. |
ExpertGPS
A brother to EasyGPS, this is a paid service that allows the user via the internet to upload topo maps and airphotos based on the entered GPS location. Very cool!! |
Map Window
This is a wonderful, simple GIS program that allows for GPS collection and export as .kml files to GoogleEarth. |
RockHound Spectrometer
Nice, compact handheld Raman spectrometer for field analysis of minerals. We feel this would be a welcome addition to a field course. |
Manifold GIS
Manifold GIS is an excellent, Windows-based GIS for a fraction of the cost of ESRI products. |
Visual GPS
The folks at Visual GPS produce excellent software for checking your GPS signal and getting a location. Both freeware and specialized software for PC and Pocket PC. These are the programs we use to test. |
CIH Equipment
CIH Equipment specializes in environmental test equipment repair and calibration, flow calibration, noise control, and soundlevel meter calibration. |
