Kijuu Maps

Read full description

Quick and accurate land measurement on your mobile phone. Kijuu Maps makes it easy to map property boundaries, trails, and land areas in the field — no special equipment needed. Key Features • Draw & Measure Draw shapes or routes by placing markers on the map. Enter precise distances from a tape or laser tool for greater accuracy. • Trace Curves Trace curved boundaries or features with tools for smoothing and curve-fitting. Includes weighted averaging, spline interpolation, and hull fitting. • Walk & Track with GPS Walk the perimeter of a property or trail to automatically record GPS coordinates and calculate area, perimeter, and elevation range. • Annotate Locations Add custom notes and labels to any location on the map. • Flexible Units Work in metric or imperial units — meters, feet, acres, hectares, and more. Includes a built-in unit converter. • Import, Export & Share Import KML, GPX, or GeoJSON files. Export your data for sharing or use in GIS tools and other apps. For best results, use outdoors in open areas. GPS accuracy may be reduced near tall buildings or indoors.

Digital ROW Utilities

Features
Read full description

Digital ROW Utilities helps contractors, utility engineers, and inspectors document underground and aboveground utility infrastructure in the field. CAPTURE AND DOCUMENT • Capture point and linear features with location measurements and recorded uncertainty. • Attach field photographs, asset attributes, material certificates, and inspection notes. • Measure visible surfaces and trench geometry with LiDAR on supported devices. • Review on-device infrastructure detection candidates before adding them to your project. MAPS AND REFERENCE DATA • Browse public WFS and ArcGIS reference sources. • Import KML overlays, PDF plan sheets, and georeferenced imagery. • View captured assets and reference overlays in augmented reality. • Review extracted plan-sheet symbols, lines, and tabulations before accepting them. REVIEW AND DELIVER • Record ASCE 75-22-oriented utility attributes and positional accuracy information. • Review data completeness, provenance, and quality-level justification. • Capture collector, reviewer, and professional signature records for your review workflow. • Export GIS and civil-design formats, PDF reports, and deliverable packages with file hashes. • Publish to your own configured ArcGIS destination using your credentials. LOCAL FIELD WORKFLOW • Organize projects, permits, photos, and scans on your device. • Undo edits and recover a previous session snapshot when possible. • Exchange session bundles with another device through a user-selected sharing method. • Prepare permit packets and follow the selected agency's filing instructions. Phone positioning retains the device's measured accuracy. A correction-stream connection alone does not improve phone accuracy or establish an RTK fix. LiDAR and AR availability depend on device hardware. Utility investigation quality and professional compliance require appropriate evidence and review; the app does not certify them automatically from GPS precision. Cloud account synchronization and external accessory GNSS connectivity are not enabled in this release. Permit packet preparation does not constitute agency acceptance or an 811 ticket. Built by Purpose Built Systems for field utility documentation.
