App Features

• Work offline with confidence – Load raster and vector layers stored on your device and keep editing when coverage drops or disappears.
• Multiple map sources – Use Google basemaps when you’re online and bring in WMS layers for up-to-date contextual info.
• Vector and raster support – Handle vector cartography in SpatiaLite and imagery in RasterLite, so your projects stay fast and organized.
• Create and manage layers – Spin up new layers on the device, tweak their settings, and keep your table of contents tidy with clear layer controls.
• Draw your data your way – Sketch points, lines, and polygons by hand, or capture vertices with the built-in GPS or an external receiver.
• Advanced geometry tools – Clean up shapes, adjust vertices, and refine features with editing options designed for real field use.
• Smart styling and queries – Apply symbology, labeling, and filters; build searches and forms powered by SQL to focus on exactly what you need.
• Attributes and photos – Edit field values on the spot and attach pictures to your features for better context later.
• Helpful utilities – Use SIGPAC search, measure distances and areas, set bookmarks, and tap navigation aids to move around faster.
