FingerGIS vs SW Maps

"FingerGIS" is the first GIS application (Geographical Information System) for iPad, iPhone, iTouch. With "FingerGIS" You can draw (georeferencing): - 2D shapes such as sites, lands, roads or paths explorable by car, plane or on foot (in the city, in the countryside, on a hill, in the mountains, at sea, etc...) - 3D shapes such as multiple surfaces in space, air routes, etc... The generic 2D and 3D shapes can be drawn over the maps (2D and 3D) of the globe, visualized by "FingerGIS" on the screen (Google Maps or Apple Maps), like when You draw using a CAD application. You can query the maps and the geographical points (manually inserted or automatically recorded) in order to obtain lengths, distances between geographic points, measure of areas and perimeters, total length of a path (polyline), etc... "FingerGIS" provides several automatic recording mode and/or manual input windows to insert the geographical points of interest; You will be able to: - save the current positions as a new geopoint, during the exploration of a site (using the GPS to get your current location and pressing the "save current location" button to save your current position as a new geopoint) - enter manually new geographical points using the manual input window (with latitude, longitude, altitude, heading (it uses the device's internal compass), radius, description: these geopoint's data (such as latitude, longitude, altitude, heading, etc…) can be entered automatically by touching with a finger the desired position in the displayed maps (by touching the screen of the device) or manually typing the numerical values ​​/ text using the keyboard of the device) - save images together with geographic points (You can insert images taken with the camera in real time or stored in the photo album of the device and join the images with the geopoints) - save an infinite number of isolated geographical points and / or circular areas of known radius, etc... - automatically record sites, activating the "automatic recording" function and walking on the perimeter of the site to be recorded - draw each type of 2D and 3D objects over the maps of the globe, using multiple layers, as You would normally do with common CAD / GIS / SIT for personal computers. All geographic points inserted over the maps, with their descriptions, measurements and images can be saved in the archive of documents of "FingerGIS" and may be shared with other applications installed on Your device or with cloud systems such as Dropbox. "FingerGIS" is able to export the saved geographical points using: - .csv file format (native "FingerGIS" file format) - in the native file format of "FingerCAD" (You can draw your CAD projects over geographic maps or over the geo-referenced sites recorded by "FingerGIS") - in the native file format of "pathRecorder" (navigation system with automated indications to reach destinations, following paths recorded or drawn) - as an email attachment (.zip compressed file, containing all the recorded geopoints, the informations, data, images, etc...) With "FingerGIS" You will have a complete GIS application in your mobile device. Sharing documents (IN/OUT) with: - DROPBOX (remote storage systems, cloud) - Open In - iTunes File Sharing - email attachment - FingerCAD (HD , WS , PRO) (using "Open In" - 3D data export/sharing) - pathRecorder - come back (using "Open In") Using FingerCAD together with FingerGIS: You can export the recorded sites using a .DXF file format (compatible with the CAD applications for MAC or PC) or a .OBJ file format (compatible with the 3D modeling applications for MAC or PC) or .PDF file format. Documents archive: - an infinite number of documents can be saved in the FingerGIS documents archive Display: - Retina display supported App type: - UNIVERSAL APP (You pay the app only once and it runs on all the devices)

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).
