Eos Tools Pro vs iCMTGIS PRO

Eos Tools Pro is a monitoring utility for the Arrow and Skadi series high precision GNSS receivers from Eos Positioning Systems. It provides advanced GNSS information such as RMS values, PDOP, differential status, satellites tracked and used, that are critical for submeter and centimeter GIS and surveying data collection. The app features a built-in end trip client to access RTK or DGNSS corrections from an RTK network. Eos Tools Pro also allows audible user configurable alarms and runs in the background of your mapping surveying software. Features: - Built-in NTRIP client to connect to an RTK Network - Displays GNSS and Tilt Compensation accuracy with quality control information - Select the Skadi Smart Handle mode: Extensible Virtual Range Pole™ or Invisible Range Pole™ - Satellite view for all constellations in use (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS and IRNSS) - User configurable alarms - Orthometric Height (Geoid models for vertical datum) - Compute and apply Position Shifts to accommodate different - Laser Offset Mapping for Esri ArcGIS® Field Maps - Locate and map underground utility assets directly in ArcGIS Field Maps - Terminal emulator to send configuration commands to the receiver - HTML5 built-in browser Disclaimer: "Continued use of Eos Tools Pro running in the background and connected to the GPS/GNSS receiver can dramatically decrease the battery life of your Apple device."

iCMTGIS PRO is a professional GPS/GIS mapping, data collection and stakeout app for use on the iPad and iPhone devices. It can be used to effectively collect data and increase productivity for utilities, wildlife, natural resources, land management, surveying, soil study, archaeology, drone control points and other land-based or air-borne GPS/GIS applications. LLA, UTM, State Plane and local coordinate systems supported. It also provides the ability to create a local NEZ coordinate system to use with real-world designs on paper. Requires iOS 9 or newer version of iOS. iCMTGIS PRO will work with any iOS compatible GPS devices. In addition, it is able to display the GPS status for a few specific external GPS receivers and record accuracy and quality information for the recorded position - e.g. EOS Arrow Gold, Geneq SXBlue Platinum, Juniper Systems Geod. When used with these GPS receivers, you will be able to set PDOP mask and RMS limit for quality assurance. iCMTGIS PRO can make use of the NGS Geoid12a binary files. It can be a valuable RTK data collection and stakeout tool when used with a compatible GPS receiver that outputs the needed accuracy information. iCMTGIS PRO will let you define a custom Feature-Attribute database to facilitate data collection. It will let you log GPS Points, Lines and Area Features and tag them with predefined or manually added descriptions. It will let you log multiple GPS fixes and automatically calculate the average position. It will let you record nested Points while recording a Line or Area Feature. It will also let you digitize Features on top of a background map or create traverse points by entering angles and distances. You may load a GeoTiff image to use as a static or moving background map. You can record your track while performing other tasks using this app. Enter deed calls to create a deed plot. View distances and areas on the spot. Create buffers. Create a grid over an area. Crate contour lines based on points with (x,y,z) coordinates. Attach photos. Easily import/export Shapefiles, Excel files, DXF files, KML files and text files, send/receive files via ftp or email, and store files in the Cloud. Generate and view PDF files. The app comes with a detailed built-in help document. Free relevant GPS/GIS training videos are provided on the Internet. iCMTGIS PRO provides Point Stakeout as well as Line Stakeout functionality to help you get to a specific Point or to move along a pre-defined Line or perimeter. iCMTGIS PRO is a one-time purchase without any annual subscription fees. It will run on iPad devices as well as iPhone devices. Please note: Location data depends on the GPS receiver used. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. iCMTGIS PRO will let you easily toggle the GPS on or off.
