Cartography has been extensively used in land applications but has very limited use in marine applications. In this paper, we describe a software designed to integrate two different sensors on a computer: GPS that gives geographical coordinates, as well as speed, time and date, and Side Scan Sonar which provides an image of the seabed. The software is to be used on a boat and deals with the data acquisition problem. The environment presents a real time seabed image to user.
