Theodolite

An iPhone field viewfinder combining GPS, compass and angle overlays with map tools.

Our take

Consider it for documenting observations with spatial context.

Geo-tagged images and CSV/KML exports preserve selected readings for later review.

Keep in mind: Phone sensors do not replace calibrated survey equipment; iPad users are directed to a separate HD edition.

What you can do

  • Record angle and location overlays
  • Add map markers and polygons
  • Export selected records as CSV or KML

Good for

  • Users taking non-certified field observations.

Consider alternatives for

  • Users needing authoritative boundary surveys or accuracy guarantees.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.6.
  • Phone sensors do not replace calibrated survey equipment; iPad users are directed to a separate HD edition.

Privacy & permissions

Images contain location and author notes in visible overlays and metadata; optional team tracking can share live location.
