Why Geo Data Collector

Less project packaging. More useful field work.

Geo Data Collector is built around direct access to open geospatial files, fast geometry capture and practical map tools. Teams can assemble the data they need without turning every field assignment into a heavyweight desktop-GIS publishing project.

Operational advantages

Designed to reduce friction at the edge

Direct

Open GIS formats

Use GeoPackage, GeoJSON, MBTiles and GPX rather than requiring a proprietary mobile-project container.

Scalable

Massive data through tiles

Use dynamic raster tiles for GeoPackage features and cached vector tiles from MBTiles or GeoPackage instead of loading a monolithic overlay.

Flexible

Capture without a schema project

Use ad-hoc typed attributes for quick mapping or native forms when a standardized workflow is required.

Focused

Data separated by purpose

Keep transactional field features distinct from the basemap and reference overlays that support them.

Fast

Switch geometry as work changes

Move among point, line and polygon capture without rebuilding the entire mobile map package.

Portable

Multiple delivery paths

Use cloud destinations, FTP, WebDAV, local Wi-Fi sharing, email and supported exports.

A useful app before a server is added

Local work is the baseline, not a degraded mode

The core viewer, local data layers, ad-hoc capture, coordinate tools and GPX workflows do not require an organization to stand up a new enterprise back end. Connected services remain available for AOI requests, search, transfer, TAK and conversion when the job needs them.

  • Read local raster and vector map sources
  • Capture features and attributes in the field
  • Use coordinate, compass and layer controls
  • Add connected services as separate capabilities
One mobile field kit

Useful capabilities beyond data capture

MAP TOOLS

Orient & measure context

Coordinates, scale, compass, go-to, search and layer control.

FILE WORK

Inspect & transfer

Manage supported files and move them by LAN or connected services.

TRANSFORM

Convert vectors

Launch conversion of common GIS vectors into GeoJSON.

COORDINATE

Build team awareness

Add TAK and Meshtastic marker context to the same map foundation.

Cartography stays attached to the tile pipeline

GL JSON stylesheets connect local vector sources with layers, sprites and glyphs, while GeoPackage feature tables can be rendered dynamically with field-selected point, line and polygon styling.
