Description of GOAT:
Geosupport On-Line Address Translator, commonly referred to as GOAT, is the system’s principal interactive Windows application. It is an inquiry application that allows the user to request almost any Geosupport Function. The user simply enters input data and receives a formatted screen display of the output information provided by that function. To use GOAT requires no programming skills and it is heavily used by non-technical people who need the information that GOAT can provide.
