Description

Simplify your field survey by capturing GPS field data on your mobile or tablet. Create mobile forms with the fields you require and invite your survey teams to complete them on their phones or tablets. Captured data, along with their location can be surveyed offline, then synced back to the QGIS in seconds.

Enter your data once, with ease, in the field. Mergin Maps aims to remove the pain of transcribing paper field notes, manually georeferencing photos and transcribing GPS coordinates.

The data you capture in the field survey is shown on a map and can be exported to a wide variety of formats including CSV, Microsoft Excel, ESRI Shapefile, Mapinfo, GeoPackage, PostGIS, AutoCAD DXF, KML and many more.

Mergin Maps Input is an extension of the free and open source GIS software QGIS. It allows you to open, interrogate and edit your QGIS projects on your mobile. Map layers look the same as in QGIS desktop and you can sync your data back and forward with QGIS desktop using the Mergin Maps QGIS plugin.

Mergin Maps supports offline field data capture and can be configured to use either offline or web-based background maps and contextual layers.

Perks of the Mergin Maps sync system:
- No need for cables to get your data on/off your device
- Share projects with others for collaborative working
- Safely work together on the same datasets, even offline
- Updates from different surveyors are intelligently merged
- Push data back from the field in real time
- Version history and cloud-based backup
- Fine-grained access control
- Sync with your PostGIS datasets

Supported field types for forms are:
- Text (single or multi-line)
- Numeric (plain, with +/- buttons or with slider)
- Date / time (with calendar picker)
- Photo
- Checkbox (yes/no values)
- Drop-down with predefined values
- Drop-down with values from another table

Forms can even be configured to perform data validation using custom rules.

Works with device internal GPS receiver and third-party Bluetooth GPS receivers.

Nashville Native ,

Love this platform and app.

I love the ease in which it syncs with QGIS. Everything for all of my layers can be set up for input in the field and it syncs perfectly. UPDATED: when everything is syncing, the external GPS receiver shows as a device that it is supplying the location information 👍 Many ideas to expand data collection, but otherwise top notch and well thought out.

QGIS field data with iOS device

The long awaited solution for collecting field data (tabular and geometry) on iSO that syncs seamlessly with your local QGIS projects. You can customize your attribute field forms using QGIS widgets in a variety of functions. Collect points, lines and polygons in the field and populate your forms as you work. With the Mergin plugin installed and configured in QGIS, one click will synchronize your local project with newly collected field data. All of your created map themes, symbology and labels will go into the field with you. Take your QGIS projects out of your office and into the field!

J’ai eu l’occasion d’utiliser cette application pour collecter les données sur le terrain et les transférer à mes partenaires à temps réel et leur permettre de suivre le rythme d’avancement du travail.
Merci à l’équipe qui a développé cette application très utile!
