App summary

This application is our flag product and more sophisticated version of the older apps called MapPad and Mapit GIS with some new ideas implemented and completely redesigned data management approach and is providing multi-purpose mapping solution allowing location capture and determines distance and area for the shapes drawn on the map or captured using real-time GPS tracking.

Core functionality:
- collection of spatial data in form of POINT, LINE or POLYGON datasets,
- calculation of areas, perimeters and distances.
- management of the data in form of geopackage projects
- survey design
- data sharing

Application requires access to the file system on the device and from Android 11+ "manage external storage" permission must be accepted to provide the core functionality described above.

The app is designed to be simple and light and driven by new OGC file format for storing spatial data.

Detailed user guide in form of pdf document is available on our website - https://spatial.mapitgis.com/user-guide

Directly from the app you can access existing multiple Geopackages data sources and their content presented as tiled or feature layers.

You can also create new Geopackage databases and feature layers and link their fields with the attribute set fields, so the data can be then collected using forms containing drop-down lists, multi-select list, barcode scanner etc. Please see our website for more details.

The application is supporting multiple coordinates projections and you can specify your default coordinate system by providing the EPSG code in the settings - PRJ4 library is used to convert coordinates.

The application is capable to link with high precision GNSS systems - so you can get down to centimetre accuracy if required and take advantage of the RTK solutions provided by the leading GNSS manufacturers.

With Mapit Spatial you can capture, manage and share your data easily. Supported export and import formats: SHP File, GeoJSON, ArcJSON, KML, GPX, CSV and AutoCAD DXF.

Custom WMS, WMTS, WFS, XYZ or ArcGIS Server Tiled services can be added to the software in form of overlays.
Three methods of measurement are supported in form of GPS location, Map cursor location and Distance & Bearing method.

Mapit Spatial can be used in number of applications including:

- environmental surveys,
- woodland surveys,
- forestry planning and woodland management surveys,
- agriculture and soils' types surveys,
- road constructions,
- land surveying,
- solar panels applications,
