Ratings and reviews

Having purchased and used it for a few years, it was very useful as a quick gps survey tool. Having just done another survey, i now can't do the basics like export my survey! It tells me i need additional extensions at extra cost. I paid to get this app at the beginning and now they are stripping functions from it and charging extra to get them back. Extorting their existing client base. I recommend you choose another app!

If you are happy to only have your data on your phone it's probably OK. But if you actually want to use it to make a map on your computer you have the upgrade to the pro version. Without that functionality it's absolutely useless. Devs should be up front about limitations on the free version so I don't waste my time on an app that "can" do what I need but doesn't.

Worked like a charm for ~1 year. Pulled it out this spring and it wont export data. I purchased Mapit GIS Pro at the onset, but it seems the extension is no longer recognized. When I try to repurchase it wont let me. Maybe the app is no longer being supported, thats a shame.

What’s new

FIX: Issue with Accuracy as HRMS reading. When connected to external GNSS this function was not working as expected.
FIX: Accuracy was always exported as HRMS when HRMS was available which was not expected behaviour.
FIX: Other minor bug fixes.
