GPS Waypoints Lite is a surveying application for iPhone that enables users to collect and classify Points using the existing positioning service from smartphone devices (typically with accuracies above 2-3m). The app can also import Points from other surveys for visualization of data on maps and obtaining directions and distances.
This multi-purpose solution has an easy-to-use interface adequate for both professional activities (such as earth sciences and engineering) and personal activities (e.g. outdoor and tourism).
Features:
| Menu Items | Functionalities | Free/Premium |
|
Dashboard |
Current Position: shows current geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude), Altitude (Mean Sea Level), timestamp and estimated positioning accuracy in real time. | F/P |
| Quick Actions: allows users to add a new Waypoint, share the current position or open the location in map applications. | F/P | |
|
Waypoints |
Create and edit: creates new waypoint from your actual position or edit an existing one. | F |
| Tagging: Classify your Points with custom Tags from a Theme (e.g. a plant can be healthy, infested, broken or dried). | F | |
| Navigation: gets directions and distances to Waypoints. | F | |
| Import: imports points from CSV, GeoJSON, KML and GPX files based on geographic coordinates (lat, long). | F/P | |
| Export/Share: exports points to CSV, GeoJSON, KML and GPX files by saving data locally or sharing with other applications (e.g. Mail, iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive). | F/P | |
|
Paths |
Manual Create: creates Routes manually by adding an ordered sequence of points. |
F |
| Auto Create: automatically record Tracks for moving activities such as cycling, running, driving or flying using time based point acquisition. | F | |
| Import: imports a Path automatically from CSV, GPX, KML and KMZ file. | F/P | |
| Export/share: views manages, and exports Path in different file formats compatible with external applications such as Google Earth. | F/P | |
|
Tags |
Tags on base Theme: defines and manages thematic tags that are used to classify Waypoints and Paths. | F/P |
| Import/Export Themes: saves locally the base theme with its tags (export) or loads pre-saved themes (import). | F | |
|
Maps |
Geodata on maps: spatial visualization of selected Point and Paths (requires internet connection). | F/P |
| Create a Point by dragging a pin onto the map. | F | |
| Distances: Measure distances from current location or from a point picked on map. | P | |
| Layers: add a raster layer over the base map by connecting to the WMS server. | P | |
|
EO images |
Requests and processes Earth Observation (EO) satellite imagery for areas up to 20 km x 20 km from 2017 to the present. | P |
| Process EO images using different visualization modes, including true color, vegetation index and Burnt Area analysis. | P | |
|
Settings |
Backup and restore data (save your project data and/or migrate it to other devices). | F |
