Today’s mobile mapping platforms commonly rely on proprietary, off-site, pay-as-you-go platforms and technologies – making it hard for both corporate environments and individuals capturing their own, in-house georeferenced imagery datasets. This does not pose only security concerns, but also involves unnecessary costs and expensive data plans. Moreover, with GeoView it’s you who decide which data to capture, how, where and when. GeoView Mobile app helps users capture and share georeferenced imagery in the field using your iPhone or iPad. Mobile application records and uploads captured recordings to running GeoView Server instance once on-line, enabling you to share captured data with your friends and colleagues or analyse driving, cycling, or walking routes using the statistics recorded with each photo. Once uploaded to GeoView server, data is immediately available for publishing and consuming via GeoView Web Client and GeoView Desktop platforms.

About

FlowAnalyzer

Read full description

FlowAnalyzer brings professional hydraulic analysis to your mobile device. Analyze and visualize water distribution networks with simulation powered by the industry-standard EPANET 2.3.5 engine. Results are shown in the units declared in your .inp file. PROFESSIONAL ANALYSIS Run comprehensive hydraulic simulations to analyze pressure, head, flow, and velocity throughout your network. Color-coded results show where pressure is low or velocity is high against fixed reference bands. They are a visual aid, not design criteria: verify against the locally applicable standard. VISUALIZATION View your network with color-coded nodes and pipes that show hydraulic conditions. A legend shows the pressure and velocity color bands in your network's units and marks nodes with no flow path. Zoom up to 2000x to inspect individual components in detail. KEY FEATURES β€’ Import and analyze EPANET .inp files β€’ Run steady-state and extended period simulations β€’ Interactive network visualization with color coding β€’ View pressure, head, demand, flow, and velocity results β€’ Detailed node and pipe properties β€’ Component counts by type (junctions, tanks, reservoirs, pipes, pumps, valves) β€’ Engine warnings shown after each run β€’ Sample networks included for learning FREE VERSION: β€’ Networks of any size β€’ Run hydraulic simulations β€’ View pressure maps over time β€’ Create and edit patterns FLOWANALYZER PRO (one-time in-app purchase): β€’ Export results to PDF reports β€’ Export data to CSV β€’ Export your network as an .inp file One-time purchase. No subscription. DESIGNED FOR PROFESSIONALS Built for water engineers, hydraulic consultants, urban planners, and water utility professionals. From a small neighborhood network to a city-wide system, FlowAnalyzer sets no limit on network size; simulation time on very large models depends on your device. FIELD-READY Analyze networks on-site, in the field, or in the office. No internet connection needed to open, edit, or simulate networks. Open .inp files from your device storage, cloud drives available in the system file picker, or email attachments. TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES β€’ Supports junctions, tanks, and reservoirs β€’ Handles pipes, pumps, and valves β€’ Warnings when a run is halted as hydraulically unbalanced β€’ Extended period simulation (EPS) β€’ Time-based analysis with interactive timeline EDUCATIONAL TOOL Useful for students and professors teaching hydraulic engineering, water resources, or civil engineering courses. Use included sample networks to learn hydraulic principles and network behavior. ABOUT THE ENGINE Uses EPANET 2.3.5, the open-source release of the hydraulic modeling engine originally developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). FlowAnalyzer is an independent application developed by Transparent Blue Water LLC and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the EPA. EPANET is a trademark of the EPA. Results depend on your model and its data. Verify them independently before using them for design or operation decisions. FlowAnalyzer does not certify compliance with any design standard. GET STARTED Import your existing .inp files. Run a simulation with a single tap and see the results on your network. Download FlowAnalyzer today and bring professional hydraulic analysis to your mobile device.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GeoView at none against FlowAnalyzer's 1. GeoView also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
