Site Compass vs Survey Compass

SiteCompass Mobile is the field companion for network and building infrastructure surveys. Built for surveyors and integrators who work on-site — often deep inside buildings with no signal — it captures accurate, structured survey data offline and syncs it to the SiteCompass Portal when you're back online. This is a purpose-built field tool. Capture everything on the ground; do your design, proposals, and reporting in the SiteCompass Portal on the web. Work completely offline Every survey lives in a local database on your device. Create, edit, and photograph as you walk the site — with no connection required. Nothing is lost, and nothing waits on signal. Capture the full picture Record a complete infrastructure hierarchy — Sites, Surveys, Buildings, Levels, Spaces, and Hardware devices — with structured fields for site type, cabling backbone, space types (MDF, IDF, offices, guest rooms, and more), and detailed hardware attributes including make, model, serial, asset tag, rack position, and power. Photos and attachments Attach photos and files to devices, spaces, and levels so your survey tells the whole story. Hardware and network connections Log devices from a searchable hardware catalog and map how they connect to one another. Download, capture, send Pull existing surveys from the Portal to work on them in the field, then send completed surveys back to the Portal in a single tap. Always know where you stand A clear offline indicator, pending-change badge, and one-tap sync keep you in control of what's saved locally and what's uploaded. A manual offline mode lets you conserve data when you choose. Secure and multi-user ready Sign in with SiteCompass single sign-on. Multiple team members can use the same device, each with their own private, isolated survey data and device-bound security. SiteCompass Mobile requires a SiteCompass account.

Survey compass app for field angles: aim your phone camera at a target and read its bearing, elevation angle and GPS position on one live screen. It is built for quick outdoor checks such as sighting a ridge, a mast or a tree, logging where you stood, and working out a height from two angles. ▶ LIVE CAMERA HUD • Azimuth ribbon across the top with the bearing in degrees and a 16-point direction (N, NNE, NE…) • Crosshair reticle with a small bubble that shows when the phone is level • Pitch gauge on the side with the elevation angle, percent grade and 1:n slope • Switch between magnetic north and true north (true north appears once your location gives the local declination) ▶ YOUR POSITION IN THREE FORMATS • Latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes and seconds • UTM zone, easting and northing • MGRS grid reference While there is no GPS fix the panel shows a dash instead of a number, so a coordinate on screen always comes from a real GPS fix, never from a placeholder. ▶ A–B ANGLE AND HEIGHT Mark point A, mark point B, and read the horizontal angle and vertical angle between the two sightings. Enter the horizontal distance to the object and the app estimates its height from the base and top angles. If you have a slope distance instead, switch to slope mode to get the horizontal distance and the rise. ▶ READING LOG Save a reading with its bearing, pitch, coordinates and an optional note. Up to 200 readings stay on your phone. A reading saved without a GPS fix is marked as having no position rather than being given a made-up one. ▶ COORDINATE CONVERTER Type any latitude and longitude, or pull in your current GPS fix, and read it as decimal degrees, DMS, UTM and MGRS at once. Add a second point to get the great-circle bearing and distance between them. ▶ SHARE Send an A–B result as plain text to a message, a note or a work order. HONEST LIMITS Bearing and angle come from your phone's compass and motion sensors, and position comes from GPS. Nearby metal, cars and power lines disturb a compass; move away from them and hold the phone steady for a better reading. The app does not measure distance by itself: for a height estimate you enter the distance. This is a field aid for planning and estimating, not survey-grade instrumentation, so confirm critical measurements with proper equipment.
