Like other
GIS systems, the GIS\Key™ software suite includes a database and a
graphical component. Both components use industry standard software
and formats to guarantee compatibility with existing, and future,
data and reporting needs.
GIS\Key's™ standard
database platform is Microsoft Visual FoxPro. Visual FoxPro uses the
popular dBase III+ or .DBF file format which can be read from, and
written to, by almost any database or spreadsheet software on the
market. Please
note that v3.x query, reporting and mapping tools can attach to (and
query data from) any database, even one with a different table structure
than our standard.
GIS\Key's™ standard
graphic engine is AutoCAD or AutoCAD MAP. AutoCAD's .dwg format is
the most widely used and transferred graphic format. Use of GIS\Key™
with AutoCAD MAP allows the user to combine standard GIS functions
like topology and thematic mapping with the highly automated GIS\Key™
applications. The drawing management capabilities of AutoCAD allows
the environmental professional to visualize their own interpretations
of site data. In addition, GIS\Key™ v3.x can deliver data to any graphic,
CAD or GIS platform
The complete
integration of GIS\Key's™ database, mapping and graphical applications
is what makes GIS\Key™ the most comprehensive and efficient site analysis
tool on the market today. The software has full documentation
and technical support.
