is the portable counterpart to the desktop Geographic Information System (GIS) software developed by Blue Marble Geographics , designed to bridge the gap between office-based analysis and in-situ data collection. This mobile application, available for both iOS and Android , transforms consumer devices into powerful field-mapping tools by allowing users to carry complex geospatial data—including vector, raster, and elevation layers—directly into the field. Core Functionality and Field Utility : Connect to high-accuracy external GPS/GNSS receivers for
is a game-changer for geospatial professionals, field surveyors, and GIS technicians. It packs the punch of desktop geographic information system (GIS) software into a flexible, lightweight package. Collect field data │ │ 2
When saving workspace files (.gmw), ensure that file paths are set to relative rather than absolute. This prevents broken file links when the drive letter changes between different host computers.
A portable application runs directly from a removable storage device without requiring a standard installation process on a host operating system.
Users can classify, filter, and edit point clouds directly from the field.
