Geo Data Collector

Offline GIS, GNSS & Survey

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

External GNSS and RTK workflows now support NTRIP/RTCM corrections, quality-gated capture, surveying tools, and construction layout job preparation. Geo Data Collector turns your iPhone or iPad into an offline-first field GIS for mapping, asset inspection, structured data collection, surveying calculations, and construction layout job preparation. FIELD DATA COLLECTION • Capture points, lines, and polygons with attributes and photos. • Build forms in the app or import shareable JSON form designs. • Mark fields as required or optional and use text, number, date, checkbox, radio-button, and selection controls. • Review, search, edit, delete, and return to collected features on the map. EXTERNAL GNSS, RTK & NTRIP • Connect a compatible Bluetooth GNSS receiver that outputs NMEA 0183. • Stream validated RTCM 3 corrections from NTRIP v1/v2 RTN or CORS casters to the external rover. • Monitor fix type, receiver-reported accuracy, DOP, satellite count, signal quality, correction age, and data freshness. • Apply configurable quality gates, stable-fix checks, and ECEF/ENU point averaging before capture. • Preserve observations, occupations, antenna information, quality decisions, and available coordinate-operation provenance in versioned archives. The external receiver computes the RTK position solution. Achievable accuracy depends on the receiver, antenna, environment, correction service, configuration, and field procedures. SURVEYING & GEODESY TOOLS • Planar COGO inverse and forward calculations. • WGS84 geodesic inverse and direct calculations. • Polygon area, perimeter, orientation, and centroid. • Slope distance, grade, inclination, and elevation difference. • Stakeout deltas, Bowditch traverse adjustment, and angular-closure diagnostics. • WGS84 ECEF/UTM operations, explicit control localization, and auditable geodesy reports. CONSTRUCTION LAYOUT PREPARATION • Create and manage layout jobs and design targets. • Import targets from supported GeoJSON and CSV/ASCII point files. • Configure metric, international-foot, or US-survey-foot units and horizontal/vertical tolerances. • Build a 2D site localization from control pairs and review residual diagnostics. • Export as-built CSV, stake-report JSON, and Markdown field reports. OFFLINE MAPS & OPEN DATA • Work with GeoPackage, GeoJSON, raster MBTiles, and vector MBTiles. • Use online and offline basemaps, including vector, terrain/topographic, hillshade, satellite, and boundary layers where available. • Browse searchable attribute tables and control layer styling, visibility, opacity, and display order. • Convert supported vector formats, including zipped Shapefile, KML, GPX, CSV, and WKT, into app-ready data. FIELD OPERATIONS • Measure distance and area, record GPS tracks, search OpenStreetMap, save spatial bookmarks, and view coordinates in multiple formats. • Use offline field projects, field editing workflows, and geodesy/control reports. • Share files through supported cloud, FTP, WebDAV, and local Wi-Fi workflows. • Connect TAK Server and Meshtastic workflows for team position and messaging. Core collection and offline mapping do not require a proprietary server-side database. Some capabilities require compatible external hardware, network or correction services, imported data, or an in-app purchase. Geo Data Collector is a field mapping and construction aid. It does not replace a licensed surveyor, legal boundary determination, instrument calibration, or required professional quality-control procedures.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Expanded external GNSS and RTK workflows with Bluetooth NMEA input, NTRIP corrections, RTCM validation, configurable quality gates, and point averaging. • Added surveying calculators for planar COGO, WGS84 geodesics, polygons, slope and grade, stakeout deltas, Bowditch traverses, and angular closure. • Added construction layout job preparation with design targets, tolerances, units, 2D site localization, and field-report exports. • Added stronger GNSS observation and occupation records with quality and coordinate-operation provenance. • Added offline field project, field editing, geodesy, and control workflows.
