Op Tracker Classic vs Geo Data Collector

Smart tracking for safe, efficient, and productive forestry operations. Op Tracker is a simple, turnkey GIS solution to help you track harvesting equipment – feller bunchers, forwarders, harvesters, and skidders – in real-time, and use this information to monitor and quantify equipment performance and productivity. In addition, you can avoid trespasses with warnings sent to you well before you’re too close to a boundary. With the Op Tracker on hand, not only will you have a competitive edge in the forest industry, your equipment operators also benefit by having corporate GIS data at their fingertips to enable them to do their work better and faster, while remaining safe and compliant. How Op Tracker benefits you With Op Tracker, you can get updates that identify productivity and efficiency of your harvesting equipment. No longer will your forest managers need to estimate where the equipment has been or how productive they were – our app does this for you. In fact, Op Tracker empowers you to see how you are doing, so you can get your job done more efficiently. Through the power of an iOS tablet and proprietary Remsoft algorithms, Op Tracker™ can report on productive machine hours and a wide range of productivity statistics. For operations that require precise navigation, Op Tracker™ can be paired with an external GNSS device to pinpoint the position of machinery with an accuracy of 50 cm, even while under forest canopy.

Geo Data Collector turns your iPhone or iPad into an offline-first field GIS for mapping, asset inspection, structured data collection, surveying calculations, and construction layout job preparation. FIELD DATA COLLECTION • Capture points, lines, and polygons with attributes and photos. • Build forms in the app or import shareable JSON form designs. • Mark fields as required or optional and use text, number, date, checkbox, radio-button, and selection controls. • Review, search, edit, delete, and return to collected features on the map. EXTERNAL GNSS, RTK & NTRIP • Connect a compatible Bluetooth GNSS receiver that outputs NMEA 0183. • Stream validated RTCM 3 corrections from NTRIP v1/v2 RTN or CORS casters to the external rover. • Monitor fix type, receiver-reported accuracy, DOP, satellite count, signal quality, correction age, and data freshness. • Apply configurable quality gates, stable-fix checks, and ECEF/ENU point averaging before capture. • Preserve observations, occupations, antenna information, quality decisions, and available coordinate-operation provenance in versioned archives. The external receiver computes the RTK position solution. Achievable accuracy depends on the receiver, antenna, environment, correction service, configuration, and field procedures. SURVEYING & GEODESY TOOLS • Planar COGO inverse and forward calculations. • WGS84 geodesic inverse and direct calculations. • Polygon area, perimeter, orientation, and centroid. • Slope distance, grade, inclination, and elevation difference. • Stakeout deltas, Bowditch traverse adjustment, and angular-closure diagnostics. • WGS84 ECEF/UTM operations, explicit control localization, and auditable geodesy reports. CONSTRUCTION LAYOUT PREPARATION • Create and manage layout jobs and design targets. • Import targets from supported GeoJSON and CSV/ASCII point files. • Configure metric, international-foot, or US-survey-foot units and horizontal/vertical tolerances. • Build a 2D site localization from control pairs and review residual diagnostics. • Export as-built CSV, stake-report JSON, and Markdown field reports. OFFLINE MAPS & OPEN DATA • Work with GeoPackage, GeoJSON, raster MBTiles, and vector MBTiles. • Use online and offline basemaps, including vector, terrain/topographic, hillshade, satellite, and boundary layers where available. • Browse searchable attribute tables and control layer styling, visibility, opacity, and display order. • Convert supported vector formats, including zipped Shapefile, KML, GPX, CSV, and WKT, into app-ready data. FIELD OPERATIONS • Measure distance and area, record GPS tracks, search OpenStreetMap, save spatial bookmarks, and view coordinates in multiple formats. • Use offline field projects, field editing workflows, and geodesy/control reports. • Share files through supported cloud, FTP, WebDAV, and local Wi-Fi workflows. • Connect TAK Server and Meshtastic workflows for team position and messaging. Core collection and offline mapping do not require a proprietary server-side database. Some capabilities require compatible external hardware, network or correction services, imported data, or an in-app purchase. Geo Data Collector is a field mapping and construction aid. It does not replace a licensed surveyor, legal boundary determination, instrument calibration, or required professional quality-control procedures.
