What We Do
Winwaed Software Technology LLC provides software consulting and programming services. We can take on most projects, but specialise in geographical and scientific applications. We currently support the Gistix GIS Toolkit, and produce and sell a number of utilities for Microsoft's MapPoint application.

Why Winwaed?
The word Winwaed goes back to a major Anglo-Saxon Battle in 655AD. Although the location of this battle is unknown, Richard Marsden (Winwaed Software Technology LLC's founder) grew up at one of its most likely locations. For further information, there's a website devoted to the Battle of Winwaed.
