The field companion for surveyors and civil engineers — 42 calculators, reference tables, and field tools in USCS and SI units. Engineering Survey Calculator covers the everyday math of land surveying, from tape corrections to vertical curves, with instant results, clearly stated formulas, and one-tap unit switching. CALCULATORS — grouped the way you work • Errors & Precision: standard deviation, probable errors, error of the mean, full observation sets • Taping Corrections: temperature, tension, sag, slope — individually or chained into one corrected length • Leveling: curvature & refraction, reciprocal leveling, relative accuracy orders • Traverse: latitudes & departures, misclosure, precision ratio, Bowditch adjustment, area by coordinates • Curves: horizontal circular curves (T, L, C, M, E, D) and parabolic vertical curves with high/low point • Stadia & Tacheometry, Earthwork volumes, Photogrammetry scales, and angle converters (DMS ⇄ decimal, azimuth ⇄ bearing) AUTO-FILL REFERENCE DATA Tap the magic wand to fill tape constants, instrument constants, camera focal lengths, and accuracy coefficients from built-in reference tables — no more hunting through handbooks. A dedicated Reference tab keeps all tables one tap away, in your chosen unit system. FIELD TOOLS • GPS field points: capture coordinates and elevation, then get distance and elevation difference between points • Clinometer: measure slope angles with your device's sensors • DMS quick-entry keyboard for angle inputs SAVE, ORGANIZE, SHARE Save any calculation to a project, attach field notes and photos, share results, and export a whole project as a PDF report. BUILT FOR THE FIELD • USCS and SI units everywhere, one tap apart • Formulas shown with every result • Favorites and search • Dark mode, iPhone and iPad (side-by-side split view) • Works fully offline • Available in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, and Chinese (Simplified) Questions or suggestions? contact.pugal.apps@gmail.com

Coordinate Master is one of the most powerful map coordinate converters available. It uses the PROJ4 library and a lookup file containing projection and datum parameters to allow conversion between more than 1700 coordinate systems from around the world. Lat/lon, UTM, US coordinate systems (including US State Plane), Australian coordinate systems (including GDA2020), UK coordinate systems (including British National Grid) and many, many others are supported. Custom coordinate systems can be added and affine parameters are supported for adding local grid systems. The app can use manually entered coordinates, your current GPS location, or get the lat/lon coordinates from a photo.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Coordinate Master at 83% against Engineering Survey Calculator's 0%. Coordinate Master also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 24 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Engineering Survey Calculator's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and price ($2.99 vs $3.99). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Engineering Survey Calculator costs $2.99 and Coordinate Master $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Engineering Survey Calculator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coordinate Master has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Engineering Survey Calculator's written reviews are positive against 83% of Coordinate Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Engineering Survey Calculator ships an update every 24 months, Coordinate Master fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 18, 2026.
