UtiliPad allows field technicians the ability to capture highly accurate GNSS data measurements using supported third party hardware (sold separately) directly on his/her iPhone or iPad device. Like Tri-Global Technologies’ other software innovations, all information collected is centric to utility line operations. UtiliPad users have the ability to simply switch between utility line types, collect accurate geographic locational data, and record simple attribute information including, but not limited to, type of feature, photograph, notes, and relational spatial data references. Upon completion of field collection activities, user can then save work as a PDF map datasheet and transfer into their iTunes library. This PDF map datasheet can be used as a simple As-Built generation tool for any type of basic utility design or documentation. Please note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

ProVision AR allows users to experience a real-world display of geographically referenced 3D data on their iOS device. Data are projected onto the real world in augmented reality giving the user an "x-ray" view of information which may not be visible below the ground surface or due to other obstructions. Integration with high-accuracy Bluetooth GNSS receivers allows users to view their underground assets, construction design plans, utilities and infrastructure with greater confidence. Features: - Map View: Shows your real-world location with an aerial imagery basemap. - Load models via Google Drive - Set Center: Moves the origin of your model to your current location, useful for troubleshooting or demo purposes. Data privacy: data submitted to Virtual GIS/ProVision AR maintained by privacy policy.
