Australia, New Zealand and Argentina New Reference Data sections. Australia: each state’s parcels, Queensland’s satellite-mapped crops for the latest summer and winter, land use, soils, and Geoscience Australia’s mineral sites. New Zealand: LINZ parcels and property titles, and the national land use map. Argentina: Córdoba’s soil map, in Spanish when the app is in Spanish. Brazil and Colombia New Reference Data sections. Brazil: INCRA’s certified rural parcels, with farm names and status, and ANM’s mining rights and applications. Colombia: IGAC’s national cadastre and the Colombian Geological Survey’s mineral deposits. In Portuguese or Spanish when the app is, in English otherwise. Big Downloads, No Limit Reference Data downloads no longer stop at 500,000 features. When an area holds more, GoGIS tells you how many and lets you go ahead. Datasets whose server counts the area first no longer warn about a large area at all. Soil Survey for Any Area USDA’s soil server takes at most about 10,000 km² (3,900 sq mi) at a time, and a bigger area used to fail with a message blaming the server. GoGIS now asks for a big area in pieces and joins them, each soil polygon once. Complete Downloads Some servers (Swedish crop fields, Baden-Württemberg and Bremen parcels, Baden-Württemberg crops) could repeat features from one page on the next and leave others out, so a large area came in short. They are now read in a fixed order and arrive whole. Germany in Reference Data A new Germany section has cadastral parcels (Flurstücke) from every state but Bavaria, and the fields farmers declare with their crops: crop names in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, North Rhine-Westphalia and Brandenburg, crop groups in Schleswig-Holstein and Saarland. Each state’s data arrives in the same plain columns. When the app is in German, the columns and values are in German too. The Netherlands in Reference Data A new Netherlands section has the Kadaster’s cadastral parcels and RVO’s crop parcels (BRP), colored by crop group, with flower bulbs in a group of their own. PDOK’s road sections move here from the Europe section. When the app is in Dutch, the columns and values are in Dutch too. Sweden in Reference Data A new Sweden section has the fields farmers declare to Jordbruksverket, with the crop, crop group and area, and SGU’s soil map, with each soil type, its group and the scale it was mapped at. When the app is in Swedish, the columns and values are in Swedish too. One Country at a Time Reference Data now shows one country’s datasets at a time. Pick a country from the row at the top; it opens on the country the map is showing. Worldwide datasets, such as OpenStreetMap, are under Global.

France in Reference Data A new France section in Reference Data has the cadastral parcels, with each parcel’s section and number, commune and area, and the 2025 crop parcels from the RPG, with the crop, crop group, organic status and area in plain words. When the app is in French, the columns and values are in French too. Japanese Farm Fields in Reference Data A new Japan section in Reference Data has MAFF’s field outlines (fude polygons) for every farm field in the country, each marked paddy or upland field, with its area. They are traced from imagery, not surveyed. When the app is in Japanese, the columns and values are in Japanese too. Your Country First Reference Data now lists your own country’s section first, going by your device’s region. Large downloads now import in the background, so the app stays responsive while a big area comes in. Canadian Soils in Reference Data A new Canada section in Reference Data has soil maps for Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and British Columbia, plus the national Soil Landscapes of Canada. Each arrives colored by farmland capability class (in Alberta, by suitability for grain), with the soil, its limitations, texture, drainage and slope spelled out in plain words instead of codes. OpenStreetMap in Reference Data Reference Data now has OpenStreetMap roads, rivers and streams, buildings and land use, anywhere in the world. Zoom to your area and download any of them as a layer you can edit, with attributes such as road type, name and surface. They come from Esri’s hosted copies of OpenStreetMap and keep the credit to the OpenStreetMap contributors. Data Credits and Steadier Downloads Layers from Reference Data now remember where they came from. The credit their licence asks for appears on the map in PDF prints and reports, and goes with exports as a sources.txt file and in the file’s own metadata. Layers cut or merged from them keep it. Downloads retry when a server is slow, and if a server sends back less than it has, you are told instead of getting a partial layer. FEMA flood zones now have plain-English columns, such as Flood Risk and Zone Meaning, and leave out the minimal-hazard Zone X areas.

Column Shortcuts In the attribute table, press and hold a column heading. Summarize shows the sum, average, minimum and maximum of a number column for the rows you're viewing, and updates as you search and filter. You can also color the map by the column or label the map with it, right from the table.

Support for iPhone Duo.

Walk to Draw with the Screen Locked Walk to Draw now keeps recording with your phone locked or in your pocket. The lock screen shows the points, distance and GPS accuracy, with a Stop button. If iOS closes GoGIS during a walk, nothing is lost: the next time you open the project, GoGIS offers the walk back so you can finish it. The first time, iOS asks whether GoGIS may keep using your location and show the walk on the lock screen: choose Allow, or the walk can’t carry on while locked. Buffer: see what it touches In Interactive Buffer, pick a layer under Touching. As you change the distance, the features the buffer reaches light up, with a count and the area it covers inside them. Select Touched makes them the selection. The distance slider now scales with what you selected, up to 10 km. California Crops in Reference Data Reference Data now has California Crops (2024), the state’s map of what grows in every field. Choose counties, and each one arrives as a layer colored by crop, with attributes in plain words: crop, category, every crop grown that year, irrigation, planting year for orchards, and acres. The whole state is one 176 MB download that stays on your device, so adding a county later needs no second download. California Department of Water Resources. (2024).

Map and table side by side on iPad: open the attribute table under the map and work with both at once. The table follows the map as you pan, and tapping a feature's zoom button zooms to it and opens its attributes. Plus many fixes and improvements to Field Sync, imports and exports, photos and drawings, sampling labels and reports, and offline maps.

Keep working in the background: on iOS 26 or later, imports, exports and Field Sync can now keep going for a while when you switch apps. If iOS asks whether GoGIS can keep running, allow it to continue. iOS can still stop long jobs; if it does, GoGIS tells you how far it got and offers to start again. On earlier iOS versions, GoGIS stops the job cleanly about 30 seconds after you switch apps, so keep GoGIS open for long jobs.

Find layers by name. Type in the Filter layers box at the top of the layer panel to show only the layers, folders and imagery whose names match. Clear it and your folders are back as they were. Busy maps fill from the middle. When a view holds more features than the map can draw at once, GoGIS now draws a solid block in the middle of the screen instead of a thin scatter. Zoom in to see the rest. Faster panning. The map fills in sooner after you move it, keeps what is already on screen and loads a little past the edges, so short moves need no reload. On big parcel layers, panning is about twice as fast.

Field Sync is faster and sturdier. An interrupted sync carries on from where it stopped when you reopen GoGIS. Devices no longer send each other records they already have, so a sync after a big edit starts in seconds instead of minutes. A reinstalled or replaced device simply pairs again: compare the code on both screens. See your active filters. A chip in the attribute grid shows how many filters are on. Tap it to review or clear them. Smarter lab imports. Results are matched across all your collections, and GoGIS only asks you to choose a collection when a sample ID could belong to more than one. Walk to Draw keeps going when you briefly switch to another app. If you've moved away in the meantime, it pauses so no line is drawn across ground you didn't walk.

Export the grid as a spreadsheet: the attribute table now has a CSV button that exports every row matching your search, filters and sort, with the columns you have showing. Field Sync now has one way to connect instead of two. Devices find each other over Wi-Fi, or directly between themselves when there is no network. Confirm the same six-digit code on both screens.

Sampling Routes Stop wandering the field point to point — let GoGIS plan the walk. • Tap Route and pick a sample collection near you, or several to walk as one outing • Only points still needing collection are included, ordered for a short walk rather than in grid order • A compass arrow points to the next one, the banner counts your progress, and each save advances you • Skip a point you cannot reach and it stays outstanding rather than marked done • "Bring me back here when done" loops the route back to where you parked Less walking, nothing missed, and no working out which point to visit next.
