Description
This application is our flag product and more sophisticated version of the older apps called MapPad and Mapit GIS with some new ideas implemented and completely redesigned data management approach and is providing multi-purpose mapping solution allowing location capture and determines distance and area for the shapes drawn on the map or captured using real-time GPS tracking.
Core functionality: - collection of spatial data in form of POINT, LINE or POLYGON datasets, - calculation of areas, perimeters and distances. - management of the data in form of geopackage projects - survey design - data sharing
Application requires access to the file system on the device and from Android 11+ "manage external storage" permission must be accepted to provide the core functionality described above.
The app is designed to be simple and light and driven by new OGC file format for storing spatial data.
Detailed user guide in form of pdf document is available on our website - https://spatial.mapitgis.com/user-guide
Directly from the app you can access existing multiple Geopackages data sources and their content presented as tiled or feature layers.
You can also create new Geopackage databases and feature layers and link their fields with the attribute set fields, so the data can be then collected using forms containing drop-down lists, multi-select list, barcode scanner etc. Please see our website for more details.
The application is supporting multiple coordinates projections and you can specify your default coordinate system by providing the EPSG code in the settings - PRJ4 library is used to convert coordinates.
The application is capable to link with high precision GNSS systems - so you can get down to centimetre accuracy if required and take advantage of the RTK solutions provided by the leading GNSS manufacturers.
With Mapit Spatial you can capture, manage and share your data easily. Supported export and import formats: SHP File, GeoJSON, ArcJSON, KML, GPX, CSV and AutoCAD DXF.
Custom WMS, WMTS, WFS, XYZ or ArcGIS Server Tiled services can be added to the software in form of overlays. Three methods of measurement are supported in form of GPS location, Map cursor location and Distance & Bearing method.
Mapit Spatial can be used in number of applications including:
- environmental surveys, - woodland surveys, - forestry planning and woodland management surveys, - agriculture and soils' types surveys, - road constructions, - land surveying, - solar panels applications, - roofing and fencing, - tree surveys, - GPS and GNSS surveying, - site surveying and soil samples gathering - snow removal
The GIS Software and spatial data gathering and processing is getting more and more important these days all over the world and the ability having quick, fast and reliable workflow is becoming very important. Mapit Pro has become a day-to-day tool for thousands of people across the world and we are hoping that Mapit Spatial is going to improve and make your workflow more efficient and cost-effective.
We would like to address our application to everyone who is working with geographic data and is responsible for location related tasks. There is number of science and business-related areas relying or depending on the accurate information coming from Geographic Information Systems and we hope Mapit Spatial is going to become your day-to-day tool when you are making things right out there in the field.
The app is dedicated to people working in agriculture, forestry, housing development or land survey industry, but also to customers responsible for design work in power industry, water supply and sewage systems. We have successful customers also from gas and oil industry, telecommunication and road engineering. Mapit Spatial can be also adopted for any kind of spatial asset management tasks, fishery and hunting, habitat and soil mapping or to whatever needs you can think off, but of which the authors of the application have never thought.
Recent changes: ADD: Added information about polygon features area and line features length in feature's list for a layer. CHANGE: Improved labels for created/updated fields when those are enabled on the layer. FIX: Fixed issue with the name name of the features in features' list - now selected label field or name is displayed. FIX: Fixed issue with a date field on some devices.

Comments on Mapit Spatial - GIS Collector for Android
★★★★★
The app seems logical and easy to use but so far I'm not able to actively track a route AND add points to either of the point layers in the same GeoPackage. What am I missing? Is it necessary to stop tracking to collect point data? Or, when recording a track, is there a setting that allows the add point feature to add the points to a specific layer? Added note: it looks like assigning a projection other than EPSG 4326 fails.
★★★★★
Reliable and instinctive, I use it every day, drop and drag gpkg and image folders is very easy to export. Filtering features in list view would be good, bringing data from MAPI a little confusing. I probably don't use to its potential but am very happy to incorporate MAPI Spatial into my work flow. Collecting waypoints and images is super easy and reliable.
★★★★★
Dear MAPI GIS LTD team, I have paid (PRO) version. Please fix gps antenna height reduction. No matter what antenna height (pole height) I enter, the altitude is the same. I have Trimble Catalyst. UPDATE: With latest update everything works like a charm. One of the most intuitive softwares.
★★★★★
I love the style settings and the nice clean interface. A couple of things I'd like to see around photos. Photos need to be able to be added form the phone storage not just take a photo with the camera app I would like to be able to export photos particularly as an add-on to CSV export. And I'm not sure if this one is possible, but it would be good if photos could be set as a field. That way the image would be named, and you could have multiple fields. But it's a very good app
★★☆☆☆
Let Down I had high hopes for this and the original app to be used in the company nationally(3 yr tinkering). I haven't had luck pairing with various external GPS units not to say they don't work. The common sense navigation really isn't common sense nor can I make the premade profiles I wanted to before sending techs into the field. I believe this app will still be great for some people but not for everyone. Thought one day this may rival ESRI, but it is just encumbered in different ways.
★★☆☆☆
So far so good, but I can not add image, video from my phone gallery only runs camera app (allowed permission for storage access) - that's pretty useless. Also, the layer switching not very ergonomical, no icon sets for paid version, Google Drive settings not available. To be honest Google map could do better as GIS if they could allow custom data sets for a point/curve/polygon. Definitely, not worth the price.
★★☆☆☆
App is reasonable in itself but google renewal is the pits, does not provide a working subscription, if the renewal is not repeatedly rejected, which without you cannot export or edit any of your irreplaceable data.
