GeoMEM, technical and engineering software specialists based near Dundee in Scotland, are pleased to announce the release of Version 10 of Surfer, the widely used, mapping, contouring and terrain modeling software package.

The new release offers a full 64 bit implementation of the software to take advantage of the speed and processing power of 64 bit versions of Microsoft Windows. Surfer 10 also features the export of maps and drawings to KML/KMZ formats for immediate display on Google Earth; the ability to work with many different map projections and co-ordinate systems and the ability to digitize and export all data as 3D coordinates.


Managing director James Tweedie said: "Surfer version 10 represents another big step in the continuing development of this powerful software application. Surfer is used by tens of thousands of engineers and technical operatives world-wide, many of whom are in the UK and Ireland.

"In addition to its more usual tasks of mapping 3D surfaces and terrain modeling Surfer has been used for mapping impurities on silicon chips (at the nano scale); mapping electrical potentials on concrete road bridges (to detect possible weaknesses and cracking), for displaying the temperature profiles in Nuclear reactors and for displaying cross sections from borehole data. It is used extensively in quarry, landscape and planning design, in fact, anywhere 3D information needs to be modeled and displayed cost effectively.

"GeoMEM have been supplying and actively supporting Surfer from Golden Software, since 1987 and provide both face to face and online training for this software."

GeoMEM have special upgrade and introductory offers for Surfer 10 until the 28th February 2011.
