About this app

Mapdesk turns your iPhone or iPad into a field surveying controller. Connect an RTK rover over Bluetooth, stream NTRIP corrections, and capture survey points with live accuracy feedback — no laptop, no clipboard.

• Live motion indicator shows when you're stable enough to log
• Full point metadata: rover, antenna height, base, and timestamp

STAKE OUT
• Pick any point and navigate back to it in the field
• Precision loupe for selecting points on dense maps

ORGANIZE
• Projects on a map — find your sites at a glance
• Layers with per-layer colors and marker shapes
• Geometry-aware feature info for points, lines, and polygons

HARDWARE
• Bluetooth rover connection with antenna height management
• Tap-to-connect with NFC tags (iPhone)

Captures sync to your Stiple workspace, so field data lands where the rest of your team works.
