The present invention provides a powered aiming platform for pointing devices such as firearms, illumination devices, or sensing instruments, remotely controlled by a hand-controller device, with video feedback of the aiming position and audio feedback of the exact direction and speed of positioning

The present invention provides a powered aiming platform for pointing devices such as firearms, illumination devices, or sensing instruments, remotely controlled by a hand-controller device, with video feedback of the aiming position and audio feedback of the exact direction and speed of positioning movements. The present invention overcomes the safety and accuracy limitations of manual and conventional remotely-controlled aiming mechanisms, thereby allowing operators to point devices accurately and quickly with predictable, precise control. In the case of firearms, the present invention maintains a steady position after repeated firing.

The computer-readable medium of claim 16 wherein the computer-readable medium is a data transmission medium transmitting a generated data signal containing the instructions. 18. A computer-readable medium containing instructions executable by a computer to evaluate a characteristic or trait present at and in the vicinity of a geographic location from plural, initially non-georeferenced maps that depict the characteristic or trait being evaluated and other related data that have been georeferenced, the method comprising: (a) constructing a virtual bounding box around each inset of the maps; (b) defining a virtual rectangular geographic grid system covering the total area covered by the maps; (c) for each grid rectangle that intersects an inset bounding box, tracing the inset enclosed by the bounding box to determine if there is intersection of the grid rectangle and the inset; (d) if there is intersection of the grid rectangle and the inset, adding the identity of the inset to a list associated with the grid rectangle; (e) geocoding the location of the geographic location; and (f) examining the insets contained in the list associated with the one grid rectangle containing the geocoded location and, using the data thereon, performing the evaluation. 19. A computer-readable medium containing instructions executable by a computer to perform trait evaluations for real property using plural, initially non-georeferenced flood maps, the method comprising: (a) forming a raster image of each flood map; (b) constructing polygons enclosing each inset of the flood maps; (c) georeferencing the flood maps by the use of another georeferenced map that depicts the same geographic area as the flood maps; (d) constructing a bounding box around each inset polygon; (e) defining a virtual rectangular geographic grid system; (f) for each grid rectangle that intersects an inset bounding box, tracing the inset enclosed by the bou
