Mobile GIS Data Collection

Collect GIS attributes and geometry in the field together.

Stop juggling paper field notes, separate GPS handhelds, and manual back-office correlation. RevoSurvey lets field surveyors capture coordinates and form attributes at the same time — or open pre-digitized drone orthomosaics to inspect and attribute each parcel directly on the map.

The problem with traditional field data collection

Field surveying teams often spend as much time reconciling data in the office as they do collecting it on site.

01

Separate spatial & attribute capture

Logging coordinates on a GNSS rover while taking attribute notes on paper or in a spreadsheet creates an immediate mismatch. One skipped point or mismatched row requires days of back-office cleanup or a site revisit.

02

Post-drone digitization handoffs

After a drone survey and orthomosaic digitization in QGIS, handing 500 building footprints to field staff to collect usage or tax attributes usually corrupts feature IDs, breaking your spatial database joins.

03

Complex enterprise setups with no support

Existing enterprise mobile GIS tools require complex form scripting and expensive licenses. When configuring custom schemas for a specific drone project, your team is left to debug technical issues alone.

Two modes for field data collection

Designed specifically for both phases of land surveying and asset verification.

Enrich: Attribute pre-digitized features

Load your pre-digitized drone building footprints, road vectors, or utility layers directly onto the mobile map. Field staff tap each feature to record attributes with guaranteed ID preservation.

1

Load GeoJSON or Shapefile

Import digitized polygons with their original database IDs intact.

2

Tap feature on map to open form

Field workers tap any building or plot on site to open its specific form.

3

Visual completion tracking

Features turn green once completed, giving crews an immediate view of progress.

4

Clean export back to GIS

Export directly back to QGIS or ArcGIS with 100% ID integrity.

Collect: Capture geometry & attributes together

For ground-up surveying of new features. Log points, lines, or polygons using phone GPS or an external Bluetooth GNSS receiver while completing custom attribute picklists on the same screen.

1

Record spatial geometry

Walk boundaries or record points with real-time coordinate logging.

2

Fill attribute forms on site

Enter measurements, condition ratings, and asset details right at the feature.

3

Attach geotagged site photos

Photos attach directly to the feature record for audit trails.

Send us a sample project layer (such as 20–50 digitized drone parcels or GPS points). We configure your custom attribute forms and layer styling, hand your team the app to test in the field, and export clean data back to your GIS format.

  • Custom attribute schema tailored for your specific survey.
  • Coordinates and attributes locked together at capture.
  • Field team tests directly on Android phone or RTK pole.
  • Direct export to clean GeoJSON and Shapefiles for QGIS / ArcGIS.
✓ Request received! We will contact you within 24 hours to configure your test layer.

Frequently asked questions

Does the app work in areas with zero mobile network? +
Yes. Base layers, assigned polygons, and custom attribute forms are cached locally on the device. Surveyors can inspect features, fill attributes, and snap photos with zero network connectivity. Data syncs when back in network range.
How does Enrich mode protect existing feature IDs? +
Each imported feature maintains an immutable link with its original identifier (such as a UUID, building number, or parcel ID). Newly collected field attributes and photos are appended directly to that existing record on export.
Can we connect external high-precision GNSS receivers? +
Yes. RevoSurvey works with standard mobile phone GPS for attribute enrichment and supports external GNSS receivers that support Bluetooth connectivity and NMEA for high-precision positioning in Collect mode.
