Complete, simple, easy to use & free application for Land Surveying, Topography, Bathymetry & GIS. Suitable for Geodesy Engineering, Civil Engineering, Geology and other disciplines related to maps, coordinates, location, address and spatial analysis. Can be used as a tool in determining position, coordinates, location & address, area & distance measurement, simple spatial analysis such as Overlay, Buffering and finding coordinate location on the field / stake out. Map Coordinates: Can be used to obtain Latitude Longitude, UTM, MGRS and other Coordinate Reference System using EPSG Codes in real time. Plot points complete with coordinate data, addresses, notes, photo and MSL elevation (premium). Export saved points to CSV or KML files. Offline GPS: Used to get coordinates in an offline state (without internet access), your cellphone will function like a Handheld GPS to get Latitude Longitude coordinates, UTM, MGRS, Elevation (ellipsoid), MSL Elevation (geoid), accuracy and other useful information. Coordinates data can be stored in an unlimited number inside your databases, given notes / labels, photos or exported into CSV files. Contours: Module to generate contours based on number of contour lines, desired elevation or contour interval. This is premium module and need internet connection. Coordinates Converter: To convert coordinates manually from Latitude Longitude to UTM & MGRS and vice versa. It can also be used to convert Addresses to Coordinates (Geocoding). Area/Distance: Used to measure distance and area with various units (support units: m, km, ft, miles, hectare, acre), register lines / polygons, make polygons automatically from measure points using sophisticated Convex Hull, Concave Hull or Trace ID methods. Create polygon holes manually or automatically from covered polygons. Automatically repair invalid geometry / self-crossing polygons, and much more. You can store unlimited lines / polygons in your database, displayed on a map, add photos and labels or exported to CSV or KML files. This module also includes spatial editing algorithms like Snap Nearest, Delete Object Inside or Outside Polygon. Buffer/Overlay: Simple GIS module to perform spatial analysis such as buffering & overlays (and other GIS operations) with several options including Union, Intersection, Difference and Symmetrical Difference. Already support negative buffer for polygons. Find Point: Module to find a location or coordinates in the field / Stake Out using built in GPS and Compass on your cell phone. Compass Map: Module with Maps, Compass, Distance and Azimuth to assist navigation and stake out on the field. Elevation Profile: Premium module to create simple Elevation Profile, this module needs internet connection. Bubble Level module: measuring tool to calculate leveling, degree of slope and percentage of slope. DTM Module: generating TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network / Delaunay Triangulation) DTM from random points or existing contour data, calculating cut and fill volumes (including determining the optimal cut-and-fill reference level where volumes are nearly balanced), performing contour interpolation, etc.. Some other modules. Any suggestions are welcome, please submit via email to utmgeomapapp@gmail.com or write a review. Thanks.

Holding a 1927-era plat, a deed description, or an old agency drawing? Those coordinates are NAD27 State Plane, not what your phone reports - and the difference on the ground is tens of metres. This app shows both at once. SPCS83 and UTM on top, NAD27 State Plane in US survey feet and NAD27 UTM right underneath, updating live as you walk. The conversion uses NADCON, the National Geodetic Survey's own grid, so the number matches the drawing rather than approximating it. Try all features completely free for the first month. Experience the unprecedented speed and convenience directly on your smartphone. [ Key Features ] - Real-Time Coordinate Display: Simultaneously shows Latitude/Longitude (WGS84), UTM, and MGRS. - Legacy Grids: NAD27 State Plane and NAD27 UTM via NADCON, for checking older plats, deeds and boundary work. - Enter a Coordinate, Go There: Type or paste a grid coordinate and the map jumps to it. - Multiple Points at Once: Paste a list of coordinates, drop them together, and step through them one by one. - Feet or Metres: Switch between metres, US survey feet and international feet - every readout and every entry follows. - Distance and Bearing: Range and direction from where you stand to the pin, with live GPS accuracy. - CSV Export: Send saved points out as CSV for your office software. - Street View: Jump from any point straight to Google Street View. - Pin Function: Tap anywhere on the map to drop a pin and instantly retrieve its exact coordinates and physical address. - Favorites Manager: Manage multiple job sites and reference points efficiently. - Automatic Address Search: Goes beyond coordinates — instantly displays the physical address for your location or pinned points. - Auto-Detect Local Coordinate Systems: Automatically identifies and displays the correct local grid and zone worldwide. - One-Tap Copy: Copy retrieved coordinate data to your clipboard with a single tap. - Share & Report: Capture screenshots containing coordinate data to easily share or save via email and messaging apps. - Transparent Map Overlay: Seamlessly layer satellite imagery with OSM (OpenStreetMap) to read terrain, vegetation, roads, and facilities at once. Ideal for construction, civil engineering, environmental surveys, forestry, mountain rescue, and any scenario demanding precise location data.
