100’s of Features
Fast and Powerful Mapping Engine
We designed GeoData Explorer after using countless other mobile apps and being frustrated with their limited Geospatial Data format support, no attribute table viewing and lack of easy use and sometimes vendor lock-in. So we set out to engineer this product to meet our specifications and realized the benefit it would have to other users.
Map Viewing
Configure different basemaps from our basemap picker or add a new one URL. Display Coordinates (GPS Lat Long, UTM, MGRS, USNG, Maidenhead) and Graticule Lines Our mapping engine is one of the fastest rendering of data you’ll find.
Offline/Disconnected Data
The app supports many formats of offline files and database. (Mbtiles, GeoPackage, Shapefiles, GeoJSON, KML)
Spot Elevation
Display Spot Elevation Values for anywhere with and without internet (when offline data is loaded)
We support MapZen Terrarium PNG Tiles Format from tile server and inside MBTILES. Display Terrain Profile view Graph (see the slope/steepness)
Draw features and assign attributes
Drop a point, Ciricle, Line, Polygon feature on the map and assign unlimited keys and values (attributes) to that location and save as GeoJSON (coming soon save as GPKG). Also, attach media to the location. Full styling control for symbology representation.
Your Position on Map
Show your position on the map via Geolocation Geolocation feature works with GNSS Receivers (GPS) or WiFi via IP Address. Display routes on the map as well. Display North Compass Arrow Display Coordinates in multiple formats
Spatial Bookmarks
Save map extent/location so you can easily come back to an area. Create unlimited spatial bookmarks
BaseMap Picker
Select Multiple Basemaps from open source and commercial providers. Google, Bing, ESRI, Stamen, Thunderforest, Open Street Map, HERE, CartoDB, NASA and others.
Annotation
Use Annotation Tools like crayon and marker and hatch patterns with color picker
View Attribute Table
View attribute table and sort and filter
GeoPackage Support
We full support OGC GPKG – GeoPackage SQLite format for offline vector features and raster tiles and elevation tiles
Geospatial Analysis
Perform analysis and geoprocessing operations like Buffer, voronoi, center, envelop, convex, bounding box and other operations all offline with no server-side processing and include previous operations for chaining commands together
Weather
Show weather overlays like precipitation, clouds, snow, heat index and many other overlays
Display Grids
display reference graticule and gridlines and numbers Including Metric, Imperial,UTM and MGRS
Catalog/Project Files
JSON Catalog Files and Catalog Editor
Vector Tiles
If you load a GeoJSON file the app will automatically split the file (up to 200mb) into tiles 256×256 pixels and different zoom levels for rapid display and rendering. We also support MapBox Vector Tiles (gzipped PBF) inside MBTiles or via an online XYZ Tile Server. We also support Open Street Map Vector Tiles with different stylesheets
Google Services Integration
Full Google Maps and Places Search and Routing/Directions
Swipe to compare maps
Use the Layer Swipe tool to easily compare datasets or basemaps
Labels
Label vector features & drawing layers
Also include mouseover instead of permanent label
Support for high precision external Bluetooth GPS / GNSS Receivers
Take your survey and mapping and GIS data visualization and data capture to the next level with submeter sub-foot and centimeter (RTK) positions via external Bluetooth, Serial, USB GNSS Receivers (GPS Global Positioning Systems). You can even work with Real-Time Networks (RTN) Continous Operating Reference Receivers and other services for position corrections.
Connect to Web Mapping Services
Connect to OGC and ESRI Mapping Services
Measure Length and Area
Measure Tools allow you to measure complex linear/lines and area/polygon measurements.
Works Landscape or Portrait Mode
Responsive design that’s flexible to enable you to work landscape or portrait and any screen size/resolution/pixel density Table of Contents Collapses and Top Menu becomes side menu as needed
Configure styling of vector data
JSON Catalog Files and Catalog Editor
Adjust Transparency
Each layer has an Opacity Control.
