Cruise Angle iCMT vs Mobile Data Collection

The Cruise Angle iCMT app can turn your iPad, iPod or iPhone into an angle gauge for selecting sample trees for timber cruising. When using the point sampling method for timber inventory, the forester first determines a suitable Basal Area Factor (BAF) for the timber stand. Then the corresponding angle gauge is used to select the sample trees. At each sampling point, the forester scans the trees through the opening of the angle gauge. Any tree that completely fills the opening is deemed a sample tree. From the tally of sample trees, one can obtain the basal area per acre. Instead of bringing along a few angle gauges, you could just as well use the Cruise Angle iCMT app on your iOS mobile device to pick the sample trees. Cruise Angle iCMT will enable you to do the following: * Work with Metric and English measurement units. * Calibrate the gauge or enter the camera FOV angle value. * Change the color and transparency of the on-screen angle gauge. * Select from a list of the commonly used BAF values. * Tally the sample trees for a point. * View the Basal Area per Acre for a point. * Check borderline trees based on limiting distance calculation. * Calculate the actual stem length of a leaning tree. * Convert between horizontal distance and slope distance. * Measure distances on the displayed Map. * Measure an area on the displayed Map. The Node tool provided by Cruise Angle iCMT will let you drop nodes precisely to delineate a line or an area to view the measurement value. You could also add your GPS location as a node. 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.

GIS Cloud Mobile Data Collection is a solution for recording and updating data in the field with mobile devices in real time, also allowing instant data access from the office. Digitize your workflow and eliminate errors and time-consuming paperwork! The mobile app enables you to accurately record data, online or offline, by filling in digital custom survey forms. You can create an unlimited number of your own unique forms in the user-friendly form builder, in the connected web app (Mobile Data Collection Portal). Continue working on your data, edit, share, and collaborate through GIS Cloud powerful web Map Editor app. Find everything you need for your workflow in one platform, no need for integrations. Collect points, lines, or polygons! Use GPS to capture data on the go, or switch to manual and use pinpoint and drawing tools for even better precision. Form fields are fully customizable and you can choose from text fields, selects lists, radio buttons, checkboxes, electronic signature, autofill, barcode, photo and audio, hidden fields, and much more. To control data accuracy and eliminate errors, make your form fields required, conditional (dependent on other form fields or data input), or persistent. Manage your field staff and share projects with custom forms to field workers by assigning them the collect and update permissions, and they can instantly start collecting data in the field. Simply sign into your GIS Cloud account (or sign up for free) and send collected data directly to your GIS Cloud app in the cloud. Data is immediately represented on a map, just click on any map feature to access collected data. Generate reports from the web app. Access data through GIS Cloud Map Editor, where you can further edit and style your data, overlay with additional data layers analyze data, share data with colleagues with different permissions to collaborate on projects. You can also export data and much more. Collect field data and conduct field surveys faster and easier than ever before. Start creating forms in the MDC Portal web app on https://giscloud.com and have your team out and about in a quarter of an hour! All you need in the field: - Offline data capture - Offline maps - Points, Lines, and Polygons geometry support - Media (photos & audio) enriched location information - QR code and barcode support - Electronic signature - Dropdowns, lists, input boxes, and comments based on custom forms - Review data attributes directly in the app - Search through data on the map - Control different layers in the map - Edit existing data - Listen to audio and view images - Real-time GPS location - View and explore maps in the field Prepare and analyze in the office: - Cloud-based web apps - Custom forms designer - Rich GIS symbology and visualization - Data editing and exporting - One-click map and data sharing - Real-time collaboration - Map publishing - Spatial Queries & Analysis - Account administration Note! This app will use GPS in the background to give you the most accurate and current location. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
