GIStance
Utilities
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
GIStance turns an iPhone plus a connected GNSS receiver into a survey-grade field capture system for infrastructure, utility and construction crews. Centimeter-level positioning, georeferenced photo documentation, and 3D LiDAR scanning — captured on site, structured for the office.
Built for FTTX rollout, utility networks and construction documentation, GIStance replaces the paper-notes-plus-consumer-camera workflow with a single tool that records where every asset is, what it looked like, and when it was captured.
Precise positioning
• Connect an external GNSS/RTK receiver for centimeter-level accuracy
• Live fix status and accuracy readout before you record a point
• Positions attached to every photo, measurement and scan
Georeferenced photo documentation
• Capture site photos with coordinates, timestamp and accuracy embedded
• Tie documentation to project sections and construction phases
• Consistent, auditable evidence for as-built records and billing
3D LiDAR scanning
• Capture point clouds and meshes of trenches, structures and installations
• Scans stored as measurement artifacts alongside points and photos
Built for the field
• Works with mapped basemaps for on-site orientation
• Fast capture flow designed for gloved hands and daylight screens
• Data queued and synced when connectivity allows
Part of a documentation ecosystem
Field captures sync to the FotoGIS asset hub and become available in the GISdoc office platform for project tracking, phase completion, plan-vs-actual comparison and report generation. What the crew captures on site is what the office works with — no manual re-entry.
Who it's for
• Field surveyors and rollout crews
• Utility and network operators
• Construction documentation and as-built teams
Requirements
GIStance requires a compatible external GNSS receiver for survey-grade accuracy and an active GISdoc/FotoGIS account. It is a professional B2B field tool, not a standalone consumer app.
