    Default Lawn Mowing Software

    Gopher software is the way to go, it is americanised but it does have metric options you just have to change the options. It's not 100% but it is the closes thing to a good software package for our business. I would recommend that you download a trial version of Gopher Pro if you have staff or spray chemical or Gopher Plus for the rest of you. Basic is very basic but if you are looking for replacement for Mowability or a better version of MY MOW then Gopher is the one to get.

    No, I don't own one and probably never will, but I am in process of getting a laptop so I can enter accounts as I go, then copy to main putta at end of day. Need to buy a large laptop tho as Bluey stated that it need min 800x600 pixels to operate properly

    The Pro version is without doubt the way to go as you get all functions. It has saved me untold hours of work already and makes staying on top of thing easy. It is particularly good for changing jobs around at short notice which is what I was looking for in a program. It could do with a few extra things but it works pretty good at the moment. I am more than happy with it. Don't go for Lawn Pro as it is no where near as good as this and is harder to use.

    You can download direct from the site but I think you can get the CD as well.

    My Mow tried but it just doesn't fit the bill. If they keep working on it Gopher is a good base to emulate and improve on.

    You have to pay extra to get the cd sent, just download the software.
