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.
