How accurate is it?

 

Have you created/written forms that can go straight into a report/5837 survey from this?

 

I ask before I spend hours messing about myself:biggrin:

 

Hey Gary,

 

It doesn't go straight into a schedule but it saves a lot of time. Here is a vid of what it looks like to use and then a spreadsheet with what it translates into. The data gets uploaded and then downloaded into a spreadsheet.

 

It is far from perfect but it is free, so until I get more surveys coming in this is it.

 

Also check out Autocad 360 which also runs on android. With it, you can view and edit dxf and dwg files on the survey site.

 

Been meaning to update all this "info" to Arbtalk for a while now but...

 

Anyway, I hope it helps!

I sometimes use GISKit: GIS Pro & GIS KitGarafa | Garafa

 

It allows you to build your own forms and use aerial images as background mapping, including cached maps for offline use. It's not cheap but alot cheaper than buying a full GIS program - the Kit version is £69 and I think the Pro version is about £200.

 

The main difference is that the Pro version exports to CSV (spreadsheet) and SHP files, but the Kit version only exports to KML (Google Earth).

 

In terms of accuracy it depends what device you are using. Iphones aren't bad, but you can add an external antenna (such as Bad Elf) to get better fixes.
