We were excited to report some of the new products announced at Intergeo that included the Geomax Picpoint, and we're pleased to say it's now available to purchase.

Here’s an outline of what to expect:   Job manager – The job manager now has a great-looking carousel view, with each job having a photo or map associated with it. Jobs can also be sorted more easily, so never lose a job again!   Recovery and compacting – Jobs can take up a lot of space. X-Pad is now better at compacting...
