  "You Don't Need to be a GIS Expert to Use BG-Map..."

  "The implementation of the software (BG-Map) went very well for us. We were complete by the end of August, and C. has been mapping all of our new garden renovations this year. It's almost intimidating how much the software can do."

  Peter Couchman, Executive Director, High Glen Estate
