Where can I find cheap CAD software?
Gath Management offers AutoCAD LT. This is the 2D version of 
AutoCAD. Unlike AutoCAD 2000, AutoCAD LT allows you to produce only 
2D drawings but with the same powerful 2D capabilities of AutoCAD 2000.
Indeed most engineering installations carry out their work in 2D and AutoCAD LT 
would thus be more that sufficient. The price of this software is less than a 
quarter that of the full version of AutoCAD.

Do you sell computers?

assist our clients engineering design services. We are also affiliated to Gath

Who needs GIS? 
GIS is for everyone. Applications of GIs have grown from simple mapping to 
complex analyses in many fields of specialization. GIS therefore can be 
applicable to Engineers, Surveyors, Cartographers, Environmentalists, Planners 
and any other persons who deal with spatially referenced data. 

What are some of the areas of GIs application?
The list grows day by day. The areas of application are only limited by ones 
imagination. Such include transport planning, Health, Natural resource 
management, Suitability mapping, Hydrological applications, biological applications, 
civil engineering applications, marketing, military, cartography and the list 
is endless.

What GIs software is suitable for me?
There are several GIs software in the market all having different capabilities. 
Simply put, the software operations can be outlined as data entry and editing, 
analysis, symbolizing and output. One also has to consider whether they need to 
work in a raster or vector environment. 
Finally is the issue of the cost of the software and the ease with which one can 
learn how to use it. Some of the GIS software that Gath recommends (and offers) 
are Autodesk Map and ArcView GIS.
