TcpGPS - Surveying with GNSS 2.11.0.3

TcpGPS is a surveying application designed for professionals seeking streamlined data collection and stakeout functionalities for plots, urban zones, and infrastructure projects. The software necessitates the use of a high-precision GPS/GNSS receiver to ensure accuracy.

Main features:

Base Maps 🗺

• Utilizes ESRI^TM base maps with global coverage, available in street, satellite, or topographic modes.
• Allows uploading of files in formats such as DXF, DWG, GML, KML, KMZ, and shapefiles, both locally and via cloud services.
• Supports the integration of web map services (WMS).
• Includes an EPSG database of geodetic coordinate systems, enabling work across diverse reference frames organized by country, with options to define local systems.

Surveying 🦺

• Simplifies the collection of topographic points and the creation of linear and polygonal features, which can be organized into layers with customizable symbols.
• The continuous recording mode automates point collection based on specified distance, time, or slope intervals.
• Real-time monitoring of positional accuracy, satellite count, data age, and other parameters is provided, with alerts when tolerances are exceeded.
• Allows setting minimum observation durations and working with epochs.
• Supports associating photographs, voice notes, optional codes, and user-defined attributes to survey objects—beneficial for GIS integrations.
• Enables exporting collected data in various formats and sharing directly through the app via cloud storage or email.

Stakeout 📍

• Facilitates stakeout of points, lines, and polygons from cartographic data by graphical selection or attribute criteria.
• The system offers multiple aid modes—including map view, compass navigation, target aiming, and augmented reality overlays. Voice prompts or sounds can be activated to assist fieldwork.

GNSS Receivers 📡

• The application supports seamless connection to any NMEA-compatible receiver.
• Configuration options include integrated devices or external receivers via Bluetooth; they can operate in base, rover, or static modes with correction data transmitted via radio or internet using data from the device or the collector itself.
• The status bar provides continuous updates on position type, accuracy metrics (horizontal and vertical), IMU status, and more while supporting multiple satellite constellations such as GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and SBAS.

Professional Version

• This version is tailored for complex projects such as roadways and railways by offering advanced tools that enhance productivity and precision.
• It supports importing LandXML files and other formats for comprehensive project integration.
• Stakeout functionalities include referencing points relative to alignments or specific vertices like edges or curbs, with slope control options for elevation management.
• The software can generate digital terrain models (DTMs) and contour lines from optional points and break lines; it also allows comparison between current and reference surface elevations to monitor topographic changes effectively.
