For people searching a survey measurement app: what MapLab Survey solves in the field

10 min read June 14, 2026

Someone searching for a survey measurement app usually needs more than one button. They need points, polygons, area, KML, DXF, coordinate systems and sometimes external RTK GNSS.

Field takeaways

Phone location is useful for reconnaissance; engineering-grade work needs external GNSS/RTK and control checks.
MapLab Survey combines points, linework, polygons, area, distance, slope, profiles, volume and stake-out.
KML/KMZ, DXF, GeoJSON and CSV exports need a clear coordinate-system note.
EPSG codes reduce delivery ambiguity.
A good field app keeps notes, photos, layers and reports with the measurement.

What a field app should solve

Field work usually needs points, polygons, area, photos, notes, export files and coordinate context in one project. MapLab Survey is built around that workflow.

Phone GPS and RTK

Phone GPS is useful for reconnaissance and quick notes. Cadastral corners, construction axes and payment quantities need external GNSS/RTK, correction source, antenna height and control checks.

Delivery memory

A good survey app keeps date, crew, notes, photos, layers, coordinate system and export format with the measurement.

In the field · MapLab Survey

Measure, check and deliver in the right format.

MapLab Survey is a mobile field app for RTK/GNSS points, drawings, area/volume calculations, coordinate conversion and export to DXF, KML/KMZ, GeoJSON and CSV. Capture, calculation and export can work offline; live NTRIP corrections and online basemaps need connectivity.
