See the technical note and video.

In configuration, the observation time can be established for points that require greater precision.

To take a point with epochs, it is enough to make a long press on the recording key, both in survey and stakeout.

Additionally, web map services (WMS) can be added.

  • Position types
  • Minimum number of satellites
  • Real time age
  • Horizontal and vertical precision
  • PDOP
  • Antenna height
  • Observation time

When any of the indicators are out of the specified thresholds, a warning will be displayed allowing the user to decide whether or not to save the point.

Additionally, you can control the display and color of number, elevation, and code attributes.

Basic data

  • Point number
  • Projected X, Y, Z coordinates
  • Code
  • Antenna height


Raw data (depending on the receiver)

  • UTC time
  • Latitude
  • Length
  • Altitude
  • Position type
  • Horizontal precision
  • Vertical precision
  • PDOP
  • Number of satellites
  • Real time age
  • Distance to base
  • Inclination

Furthermore, an image and a voice memo can be associated with each point.

And GIS user data can be defined.

Once this code is selected, the points collected will define the vertices of the new linear or point objects.

  • The continuous survey option allows points to be taken automatically considering a time interval, distance or elevation difference
  • Through voice measurement, being able to set the voice key in the configuration section, for example "Measure"

  • Add layers in shp format with point, linear and polygonal entities to the map
  • Add text, integer, real or date user data to each layer
  • Export survey data to shape format
