Mobile Data Collection vs SW Maps

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.

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).
