Geomar Software Inc. is a professional geophysical software vendor based in Mississauga, Canada. It provides three categories of native Windows software—TrackMaker, RTmap, and Multi—for electromagnetic and magnetic survey instruments. Its core purpose is to synchronously record instrument readings and GNSS/GPS positions, help field crews collect data along evenly spaced survey lines, and generate XYZ-type data after acquisition for mapping, modeling, inversion, and interpretation.
TrackMaker is more focused on data acquisition and navigation. It can simultaneously record instrument data and GPS positions, then calculate the true measurement point location based on antenna-to-sensor offsets, heading, timestamps, and filtering conditions. RTmap builds on this with an emphasis on real-time spatial color maps and QA/QC, allowing field crews to immediately see coverage, anomalies, and missed areas so they can adjust speed and line spacing. Multi is designed for array systems, supporting synchronized acquisition from up to nine instrument consoles and one GPS receiver, making it suitable for high-efficiency wide-area surveys such as UXO and archaeology.
The products mainly run on Windows 11/10 tablets and field laptops, while the processing software supports Windows 7 through 11. Although legacy Windows Mobile/CE programs are no longer being developed, they are still supported and data formats remain backward compatible. The instrument ecosystem includes Bartington Grad-601, Geonics EM61-MK2, EM31, EM38, EM34-3, EM61-LX2, and others, and the software can connect to almost any GNSS/GPS receiver that outputs NMEA, as well as some RTS devices. The website provides technical notes, guides, release notes, manuals, and demos, with relatively complete supporting documentation.
Geomar.com uses one-time licensing. For Windows 11/10, TrackMaker costs around USD 990–1,380, RTmap around USD 2,400–2,700, and Multi around USD 6,600–6,900. The license package includes the acquisition program, Windows processing software, two licenses, one year of updates, first-year technical support, and PDF manuals. The demo can be installed for free without a serial number, but it limits the length of recorded files.
Its strengths are a strong field-oriented design, local operation without requiring the cloud, practical real-time quality control, and deep adaptation for specific instruments. Its drawbacks are that it is concentrated on Windows, is relatively expensive, and does not appear to offer an API/SDK or open-source capabilities. It is suitable for geophysical field service companies, environmental surveys, precision agriculture, geotechnical work, UXO, and archaeology teams. It is not suitable for users looking for general-purpose developer tools or a cloud data platform.
The text does not provide information on access from mainland China. Since the software runs locally and the demo can be directly downloaded and installed, it should have advantages in weak-network environments, but website connectivity still needs to be tested.
