CAD vs SW Maps

Only requirements are a .dxf file and the known state plane projection of the file. No benchmarks, no localizations, no site calibrations. Take any .dxf, upload, and then GO! Expect virtually no learning curve for contractors using Trimble, Topcon, Leica, Sokkia, or Carlson GNSS systems with data collectors. Upload your file and go. Provides a similar user experience as a base and rover setup; from your mobile phone or tablet. Not a contractor, no problem. With CAD-Locator developers can visualize designs from engineers and architects before breaking ground. Load a .dxf and see where the lot lines are, see where the detention will be, see the intersection, see the cul-de-sac, where should the tool trailer be set up, where is the best location for your base pole…. Engineers and Architects can visualize their design without staking. Surveyors can find pins quicker. Technicians can document test locations. The applications are almost unlimited. For best results; explode blocks prior to upload, reduce files to the critical layers, use files formatted for field data collectors, avoid files with xrefs, avoid files drawn in architectural units.

SW Maps is a free GIS and mobile mapping app for collecting, presenting and sharing geographic information. Whether you are conducting a full scale GNSS survey with high precision instruments, need to collect large amount of location based data using nothing but your phone, or just need to view a few shapefiles with labels over a background map on the go, SW Maps has it all covered. Record points, lines, polygons and even photos and have them displayed over your choice of background map, and attach custom attribute data to any feature. Attribute types include text, numbers, an option from a predefined set of choices, photos, audio clips and videos. Conduct high accuracy GPS surveys using external RTK capable receivers over Bluetooth LE. Draw features on the map by adding markers, and measure distance and area. Reuse the layers and attributes of a previous project for another survey, or create templates and share them with other users. Share the collected data with other users as Geopackages, KMZ or shapefiles, or export them to your device storage. Also share and export recorded data as Spreadsheets or CSV files. All data is recorded and exported in the standard WGS84 Geographic coordinate system (EPSG:4326). Features -Online Base maps: Apple Maps or Open Street Map -Support for multiple mbtiles and KML overlays -Shapefile and Geopackage layers, with attribute categorized styling. View shapefiles in any coordinate system supported by the PROJ.4 library. -Add multiple online WMTS, TMS, XYZ or WMS layers and cache tiles for offline use. -Connect to external GPS receivers using Bluetooth for high accuracy surveying using RTK with built-in NTRIP client. Also record data from external receiver for post processing. -Define multiple number of feature layers, each with a set of custom attributes Feature Types: Point, Line, Polygon Attribute Types:Text, Numeric, Drop down Options, Photos, Audio, Video Save as Template for re-use or sharing -Record GPS tracks, with distance measurement -Label features based on attribute values. -Import feature layers from templates or existing projects. -Share or export collected data as KMZ (with embedded photographs) , shapefiles, GeoJSON, Geopackage (GPKG), XLS/ODS spreadsheets or csv files. -Share templates or projects with other users -Supports use of GTX geoid files. To use custom geoids, prepare a GTX file with offsets in meters from WGS84. This product is made in Nepal and is FREE (no Ads).
