GIStance turns an iPhone plus a connected GNSS receiver into a survey-grade field capture system for infrastructure, utility and construction crews. Centimeter-level positioning, georeferenced photo documentation, and 3D LiDAR scanning ā captured on site, structured for the office. Built for FTTX rollout, utility networks and construction documentation, GIStance replaces the paper-notes-plus-consumer-camera workflow with a single tool that records where every asset is, what it looked like, and when it was captured. Precise positioning ⢠Connect an external GNSS/RTK receiver for centimeter-level accuracy ⢠Live fix status and accuracy readout before you record a point ⢠Positions attached to every photo, measurement and scan Georeferenced photo documentation ⢠Capture site photos with coordinates, timestamp and accuracy embedded ⢠Tie documentation to project sections and construction phases ⢠Consistent, auditable evidence for as-built records and billing 3D LiDAR scanning ⢠Capture point clouds and meshes of trenches, structures and installations ⢠Scans stored as measurement artifacts alongside points and photos Built for the field ⢠Works with mapped basemaps for on-site orientation ⢠Fast capture flow designed for gloved hands and daylight screens ⢠Data queued and synced when connectivity allows Part of a documentation ecosystem Field captures sync to the FotoGIS asset hub and become available in the GISdoc office platform for project tracking, phase completion, plan-vs-actual comparison and report generation. What the crew captures on site is what the office works with ā no manual re-entry. Who it's for ⢠Field surveyors and rollout crews ⢠Utility and network operators ⢠Construction documentation and as-built teams Requirements GIStance requires a compatible external GNSS receiver for survey-grade accuracy and an active GISdoc/FotoGIS account. It is a professional B2B field tool, not a standalone consumer app.
