Description
iGIS - The world's first and leading iOS GIS.
True GIS functionality is now available on the iPhone! Your iPhone. Your data. Your maps.
iGIS represents a new era in mobile GIS solutions by enabling users to load, view, investigate, create and export their own data over a background of map service imagery.
Importing data is easy with our unique data import facility using the USB cable or wirelessly on your Mac, PC and Linux. Raster data in many formats (pre-processing required) and ESRI Shapefiles (.shp) are supported at the moment.
Your spatial data is stored on the iPhone, so there’s no need for an Internet connection to see your data – great for field work. We also support over 3000 projections, so no need for re-projection.
We include support for multiple layers of points, lines, and polygons – all styled as you like. Imagery layers too in V5.
Add comments to your maps - A point layer is added with a name and description field.
Add and edit your own layers, via the map display and customisable data entry forms.
Export your layers to ESRI shapefiles for use back in your enterprise.
Other features include:
- Great speed, using our multi-threaded map renderer.
- Support for large datasets.
- Import and export of ESRI Shapefiles.
- Display current GPS location in your chosen projection ( + compass)
- Zoom to current location
- Zoom to data extent
- Map Pan, zoom in, zoom out
- Changeable drawing styles for a layer: size, color, transparency
- Set the draw order and visibility of map layers
- Set the zoom scale for layers via a simple slider
- Select and interrogate feature attributes via point and click
This application is designed for GIS professionals and an understanding of some basic GIS concepts such as layers, shapefiles, projections etc, would make using iGIS simpler. Please let us know if concepts in iGIS are unclear.
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Ratings and Reviews
Good for free
For on the field, this app is great. Its not only free but if your working in vector model this is more then adequate. I've tried most of the gis apps in the app store and this is by far the most user friendly and it's free - GIS Student
Very good app for project work in the field.
Pros:
- Free!
- Able to import shapefiles (points, polygons, etc), reads attributes well.
- Streams Google satellite imagery and able to set alpha of layers
- Cool way to choose a "cover" image for your project
- Good performance
- Excellent support of projections and coordinate systems
- Works well with iTunes for importing/exporting custom data. Good instructions.
Cons:
- Easy to forget you are in "Identify" features mode when you mean to pan the map. Would also be nice if user could customize the size of the selection rectangle for "Identify" features mode.
- Raster images are compressed too much by the 3rd party maptiler software which is necessary to create compatible tiles. Would prefer if it could also handle KMZ files containing custom raster maps. The help file has decent instructions for using maptiler.
- Sometimes you have to press "Done" and re-enter the project for your custom raster maps to display despite enabling the layer's visibility.
- Occassional crashes when loading imagery/data but generally stable.
- Have to use (go to project info. screen and change "Editing Layer") an imported points layer containing points when adding waypoints in the field otherwise it gives an error, something about next feature ID not existing...
Well done The Geometry Team!
