TcpGPS

TcpGPS GPS Field Survey Tool for GNSS Receivers

TcpGPS is an application for professional surveyors, which facilitates data collection and staking of lots, urban areas and infrastructures. Requires a high-precision GPS/GNSS receiver.

Main features:

Basic maps 🗺

ESRITM base maps with worldwide coverage are used, which can be viewed in street, satellite or topographic mode. You can also upload files in DXF, DWG, GML, KML, KMZ and shape formats, both locally and in the cloud, and add web map services (WMS).

The program includes the EPSG database of geodetic systems, being able to work with different coordinate reference systems organized by countries, and being able to define local systems.

Search 🦺

The application makes it very easy to survey topographic points and linear and polygonal entities, which are drawn in layers and with customized symbology. Continuous mode allows you to automatically record points by specifying a distance, time or slope interval.

TcpGPS constantly controls the type of position, horizontal and vertical accuracies, number of satellites, age in real time, etc. and warns if any of the indicators are out of tolerance. It is also possible to define a minimum observation time and work with epochs.

Photographs, voice notes, and optional codes can be associated with objects, as well as user-defined attributes, ideal for GIS projects.

All collected data can be exported to various formats and shared from within the application, to be stored in the cloud or sent via email or other means.

Assembly 📍

Cartography points, lines and polylines can be staked out, designating them graphically or selecting them by different criteria. The app offers different help modes such as map, compass, target and augmented reality. Voice commands or sounds can also be activated.

GNSS receivers 📡

The software allows you to easily connect to any NMEA-compatible receiver. Additionally, you can configure multiple receivers integrated into the device or connected via Bluetooth, to work in base, rover or static mode and use radio or Internet corrections with data from the collector or the equipment itself.

The status bar shows all the time the position type, accuracies, IMU status, etc. and supports GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and SBAS constellations.

Professional version

Ambitious projects need tools that are at the forefront of technology to maximize productivity and achieve success.

The professional version of TcpGPS is very useful for working on road, railway and linear projects in general, being able to import LandXML files and other formats. It is possible to demarcate points in relation to the alignment or specific vertices, such as road edge, shoulder, curb, pavement shoe... Specific options for slope control are also available.

The program generates the digital terrain model and contour lines from optional points and break lines. You can also compare the current elevation to that of a reference surface.
