It supports quadrant and whole-circle bearings, south-based and north-based circle bearings, and gons (or grads) as well as degrees-minutes-seconds. It supports Geodimeter, Leica, Wild, Nikon and TDS total station formats.
Also, its coordinate files may be accessed by UGL's version of Windows Free42, an HP-42S simulator program, or copied to a memory card and used directly by the Palm OS and Pocket PC versions of Copan.
Designed for land surveyors, geodetic engineers, professionals and students, Copan for Windows — 98, NT, 2K, ME, XP, Vista32 — is available for download, completely free of charge. It does not work on Vista64.

Your free software is great and is better than some that aren't free!
H Jude G Juntilo, Cebu, Philippines
Congratulations on what is turning out to be a mighty fine program. Keep up the excellent work!
Brian Taylor, Chief Surveyor, Pinto Engineering, York, PA, USA
I've used other surveying software that costs $1000s, with awkward usability. Copan is a simple surveying program that gets back to the basics of what surveying is about.
Nevan Bennett, Surveyor, Land Victoria, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
The program is very effective and user friendly. I had been using another product for years but your program is more intuitive and user friendly. I was able to start using Copan without even reading the instructions. You answered my e-mail inquiry immediately and your competitors have never written back.
