PersonMark Holmes Becoming a GIS profession

Mark Holmes of Photomap NZ, Nelson, used GISList to discuss working with ArcView 3.2 in 2010 and its compatibility with 64-bit Windows 7 in December 2011. His messages also covered NZMG-to-NZTM2000 conversion. They document a small commercial practice maintaining useful desktop software across changes in operating systems and coordinate standards. Holmes and fellow Photomap owner Cathy McBride also designed trail map boards for Codgers Mountain Bike Park, documented by Nelson City Council in January 2013.
