> Earlier this year the Tulane Museum of Natural History released
> GEOLocate, an NSF funded tool for computer-aided georferencing of
> natural history museum data. GEOLocate is free and supports a
> wide array
> of features. Some of the features include: single record
> georeferencing,
> multi record batch georeferencing, waterbody and bridge crossing
> detection, assignment of a precision estimate letting users know which
> records need the most review, polygonal error determination, visual
> correction system and includes data for all 50 US states, Canada and
> Mexico.

> I invite you to visit http://www.museum.tulane.edu/geolocate to learn
> more and sign up for a free copy.
