OCAD: Smart for Cartography

OCAD logo

OCAD is a software program for drawing maps of all types. Thanks to the simple handling and prepared set of symbols and signatures, you will be able to draw perfect maps based on scanned originals in just a short time. However, OCAD is far more than just a map drawing program: If you have access to basic vector geodata, then you can import it and automatically assign symbols or signatures to it, which you can organize according to your own individual concepts. If you want to enhance maps with additional objects, then you all you need to do is record them in the terrain with a handy GPS device and import them into the map. If necessary, you can edit map objects with numerous editing functions so that they satisfy the highest cartographical visualization demands. Thanks to the ODBC interface, you can link map objects to tables or databases and record additional information in them. Finally, you export the map as a PDF file and send it to the printing process or publish it as an interactive map in the Internet.

OCAD Standard and Professional: OCAD comes in two editions – a standard and a professional edition. The professional edition provides additional functions for database connections, compilation of street indexes and interactive Internet maps, for recording real-time GPS measurements, exporting Shape, DXF, and SVG files as well as rasterizing maps. For more detailed information, please refer to the functionality map.

Worldwide Use of OCAD: OCAD is being used successfully in more than 60 countries and in a great variety of sectors: cartography publishers, national institutes of cartography and topography, land surveying offices, cities, districts, communities, fire brigades, graphics firms, planning and engineering offices, schools, universities, the military, sport and recreation clubs, etc.\
