GPS Waypoints Lite is a surveying application for iOS devices that enables smartphones' users to collect, classify and export Points and Paths to become map creators. This multi-purpose solution, with an easy-to-use interface, is adequate for professional activities (earth sciences surveying, infrastructure monitoring, forest, agriculture, etc...) and personal activities (outdoor and tourism). The GPS Wpts Lite includes the following features: - View current position with accuracy and navigation information; - Create Points and Paths with accuracy information and custom Tags classification; - Get directions and distances from current position to existing Points using the magnetic or gps compass; - Import Points from CSV, KML, GPX and Geojson files using geographic coordinates (Lat, Long in wgs84); - Export Points to CSV, KML, GPX and Geojson files by saving data locally or sharing with other applications (e.g. Mail, iCloud/Google Drive); - Create Paths manually and automatically for producing tracks, routes or polygons; - Create and use survey's Themes with custom Tags for classifying Points and Paths; - View Geodata (Points and Paths) and measure distances on Maps; - Satellite image processing requests (Premium); - Backup and restore your data. The regular version has advertising and is restricted in number of exports, while Premium is unlimited in exports and has advanced features.

Complete, simple, easy to use & free application for Land Surveying, Topography, Bathymetry & GIS. Suitable for Geodesy Engineering, Civil Engineering, Geology and other disciplines related to maps, coordinates, location, address and spatial analysis. Can be used as a tool in determining position, coordinates, location & address, area & distance measurement, simple spatial analysis such as Overlay, Buffering and finding coordinate location on the field / stake out. Map Coordinates: Can be used to obtain Latitude Longitude, UTM, MGRS and other Coordinate Reference System using EPSG Codes in real time. Plot points complete with coordinate data, addresses, notes, photo and MSL elevation (premium). Export saved points to CSV or KML files. Offline GPS: Used to get coordinates in an offline state (without internet access), your cellphone will function like a Handheld GPS to get Latitude Longitude coordinates, UTM, MGRS, Elevation (ellipsoid), MSL Elevation (geoid), accuracy and other useful information. Coordinates data can be stored in an unlimited number inside your databases, given notes / labels, photos or exported into CSV files. Contours: Module to generate contours based on number of contour lines, desired elevation or contour interval. This is premium module and need internet connection. Coordinates Converter: To convert coordinates manually from Latitude Longitude to UTM & MGRS and vice versa. It can also be used to convert Addresses to Coordinates (Geocoding). Area/Distance: Used to measure distance and area with various units (support units: m, km, ft, miles, hectare, acre), register lines / polygons, make polygons automatically from measure points using sophisticated Convex Hull, Concave Hull or Trace ID methods. Create polygon holes manually or automatically from covered polygons. Automatically repair invalid geometry / self-crossing polygons, and much more. You can store unlimited lines / polygons in your database, displayed on a map, add photos and labels or exported to CSV or KML files. This module also includes spatial editing algorithms like Snap Nearest, Delete Object Inside or Outside Polygon. Buffer/Overlay: Simple GIS module to perform spatial analysis such as buffering & overlays (and other GIS operations) with several options including Union, Intersection, Difference and Symmetrical Difference. Already support negative buffer for polygons. Find Point: Module to find a location or coordinates in the field / Stake Out using built in GPS and Compass on your cell phone. Compass Map: Module with Maps, Compass, Distance and Azimuth to assist navigation and stake out on the field. Elevation Profile: Premium module to create simple Elevation Profile, this module needs internet connection. Bubble Level module: measuring tool to calculate leveling, degree of slope and percentage of slope. DTM Module: generating TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network / Delaunay Triangulation) DTM from random points or existing contour data, calculating cut and fill volumes (including determining the optimal cut-and-fill reference level where volumes are nearly balanced), performing contour interpolation, etc.. Some other modules. Any suggestions are welcome, please submit via email to utmgeomapapp@gmail.com or write a review. Thanks.
