## What is MapLab Survey?

MapLab Survey is a field GIS and land surveying app: draw, measure, open CAD files, convert coordinates and export to DXF — online or offline.

WORKS IN YOUR COUNTRY, OUT OF THE BOX

The app opens with your country's own national coordinate system and language. 148 countries, 46 languages. Move to another zone and the correct zone of the same system follows you — no manual setup.

DRAW & MEASURE WITH GPS

• Points, lines and polygons
• Area, perimeter, distance, coordinates, slope and volume
• Vertex editing, object snap and undo
• Rapid point mode for fast field capture

CAD VIEWER (BETA)

• Open DXF and Netcad NCZ on a clean canvas — no import needed
• Real layer names and colours
• Snap to endpoint, midpoint and edge; measure with a crosshair
• Draw points, lines and areas, then send only what you want to the map

SCANNED PLANS & MAP SHEETS (BETA)

• Place JPG, PNG and PDF sheets on the map
• Automatic georeferencing from world-file (.jgw/.pgw/.tfw) and .prj
• Control-point placement with residual check
• Rotation of skewed scans is corrected

COORDINATE SYSTEMS

• 564 systems: national grids, UTM, Gauss-Krüger, Lambert and more
• Search by country name in your own language
• Warns you when a system does not cover where you are
• Convert between WGS84, UTM, ED50, TUREF and national grids

GNSS, RTK & STAKE-OUT

• External GNSS / RTK over Bluetooth, with NTRIP
• Antenna height, point averaging and fix-quality gate
• Total station import: Leica GSI, Carlson RW5, Sokkia SDR33, Nikon RAW
• Stake-out with live guidance and AR camera route view
• Site calibration against control points
• GPS track recording, compass and north direction

ANALYSIS & ENGINEERING

• Split area into equal parts (subdivision)
• Buffer / zone of influence
• Volume and cut/fill calculation
• Slope analysis, elevation profile and cross-section
• Contour lines
• Attribute query
• Spatial operations: union, intersection, difference and dissolve
• UTM/MGRS grid on the map

COGO & COORDINATE TOOLS

• Traverse: create points from azimuth and distance
• Convert selected features between systems in bulk
• Type in a single coordinate and convert it
• Export converted coordinates as CSV

BRANDED FIELD REPORTS

• Generate PDF, XLS or TXT reports from your features
• Add your company name and logo
• Prepared-by line and signature block
• QR code with project and location summary
• Choose which features and which system to include

LAYERS & BASEMAPS

• Satellite, street, topographic, light and dark basemaps
• Add WMS and XYZ services
• Create, edit, show and hide layers
• Organise layers into folders and nested groups
• Zoom to layers or features

3D GLOBE & VISUAL REVIEW

• 3D terrain over satellite imagery
• Street view for field preview
• Historical satellite imagery

INFRASTRUCTURE & VECTOR MAP

• OpenInfraMap: power lines, substations and power plants
• Pipelines and telecom infrastructure

DRONE FLIGHT MODE

Review flight suitability, weather, wind and field conditions before drone operations.

ATTRIBUTES, PHOTOS & FORMS

• Name, description and custom attributes
• Photos attached to features, with a coordinate stamp
• Field forms
• Address lookup with reverse geocoding
• Custom labels, icons, colours and line styles

OFFLINE WORK

• Download map areas for offline use
• Import MBTiles tile packages — bring your own basemap
• GeoPDF: coordinates embedded in the PDF are read automatically
• Draw, measure and record with no connection

IMPORT & EXPORT

KML/KMZ, DXF, GeoJSON, CSV, TXT, GPX and PDF — works with QGIS, AutoCAD, NetCAD and other GIS/CAD software.

SMART APP GUIDE

Built-in help for drawing, measurement, coordinate systems, WMS, DXF/KML, layers and analysis.

Online map services, WMS/XYZ layers, address lookup and the smart guide may require internet access.

Measure in the field. Manage on the map. Export your data.
