## What is Stiple Mapdesk?

Mapdesk turns your iPhone or iPad into a field surveying controller. Connect an RTK rover over Bluetooth, stream NTRIP corrections, and capture survey points with live accuracy feedback — no laptop, no clipboard.
 
CAPTURE
• Point capture with live RTK status and accuracy readout
• Averaging profiles — Quick, Standard, and Precise occupations
• Live motion indicator shows when you're stable enough to log
• Full point metadata: rover, antenna height, base, and timestamp

STAKE OUT
• Pick any point and navigate back to it in the field
• Precision loupe for selecting points on dense maps

ORGANIZE
• Projects on a map — find your sites at a glance
• Layers with per-layer colors and marker shapes
• Geometry-aware feature info for points, lines, and polygons

HARDWARE
• Bluetooth rover connection with antenna height management
• Tap-to-connect with NFC tags (iPhone)
• Base station setup with mountpoint selection and known-point calibration

Captures sync to your Stiple workspace, so field data lands where the rest of your team works.


## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-08-12

MapDesk 1.1 is our biggest update yet, rebuilt around life in the field.

CAPTURE, REBUILT
• Guided point capture with live averaging and an occupation clock that pauses automatically when your fix degrades — no more points completed on bad data
• New capture wheel for picking averaging profiles, and layer selection built into the flow
• Clear warnings before discarding an unsaved capture, and honest feedback when a save can't reach the server

PLANS ON THE MAP
• Align PDF site plans directly on the live map and publish them to your project
• Control points are saved with your project features
• Full-screen focused mode keeps the map clear while you work

STAKEOUT
• Arrival, weak-signal, and signal-lost states so you always know how much to trust the guidance
• Readout stays visible when you arrive on point

WORKS BETTER WITHOUT A ROVER
• Clearer status when running on phone GPS — no more false "no fix" alarms
• Compass heading now works even before you have a position

PROJECTS & SHARING
• Redesigned projects screen with search and smart recents
• Share a project straight from the app with invite links

RELIABILITY
• Automatic recovery from startup failures
• Fixed large-file upload errors
• Faster and smoother throughout
