Stakeout iCMT vs Mapcha

“Stakeout iCMT” is a handy app that provides functions to help the users perform point stakeout and line stakeout tasks. It will let the user precisely digitize Points, Lines and Areas of interest over the built-in Map. With the help of GPS, the point stakeout function can guide the user to the target Features. The Line Stakeout function will display the distance between the user and a Line or Area, enabling the user to move parallel to or along the target line. This function can be used to stake fence lines or river boundaries. It can be used for laying out long pipelines in undeveloped areas. The users may also import design data based on WGS 84 and LLA coordinate system from Shapefiles or DXF files. They may email the job files, output the Feature data as DXF files or send the Feature data to a PDF file. Please note: Location data depends on the GPS receiver used. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. The app will let you easily toggle the built-in GPS on or off. This app comes with a built-in help file. The app creates files for storing user's data. These files are saved in the Documents folder for the app. Users may use iTunes to copy the data files in the File Sharing section to their Mac or PC, and vice versa.

Mapcha allows you to easily navigate paper based maps on your iOS device, even without an internet connection*. Perfect for walking, trekking or just navigating an unfamiliar city, Mapcha allows you to see your current location on your paper map. Mapcha uses an intuitive mechanism to overlay images of maps on to the standard Apple Maps: - Take a picture of your paper map using your device's camera or choose an image from your photo library - Choose two known points on the paper map and locate those points on Apple Maps - From those points Mapcha calculates the map's scale and positions your image on top of Apple Maps * An active internet connection may be required in order to load Apple Map data to assist in calibrating a map, however once a map has been calibrated it can be used offline. Note - Mapcha does not cache Apple Map data; however your map images will be available offline and you will still be able to see your current location. - Mapcha does not come with any preloaded maps.
