The field workflow, end to end.

GoGIS is built for people who need usable GIS without platform setup: open the files you already have, collect consistent records, keep nearby devices in step, and bring back exports your desktop GIS can actually use.

🗃

Bring Your GIS Files

Open shapefiles, GeoPackage, KML, GeoJSON, and CSV data from Files, iCloud Drive, email, or shared storage. Stack layers, style them, label them, and inspect attributes on-site.

🔄

Sync Nearby Devices

Field Sync exchanges per-record changes directly between devices. It is ideal for one-person iPhone/iPad workflows, two-person crews, and disconnected jobs where simple local sync matters.

💪

Handles Large Layers

Load county parcels, infrastructure, survey, and environmental layers with hundreds of thousands of features. Keep the field map useful even when the data is not small.

🗺

Work Privately On-Device

Your project lives on your device. Collect data, review attributes, use cached maps, and sync with nearby devices without creating an account or uploading your field project to a required cloud.

🎨

Color-Code Your Data

See patterns at a glance. Color parcels by zone, pipes by material, fields by crop type — automatic color coding from your data with a few taps.

📊

Search & Filter Your Data

Find what you need fast. Search across all your data, filter by any attribute, tap a row to jump straight to it on the map.

📴

Works Without Internet

Everything works offline. Load your data, explore your maps, collect points — no cell signal required. Basemap tiles are cached automatically.

📏

Measure on the Map

Tap to measure distances between points. See segment lengths and totals in feet, miles, meters, or kilometers.

📷

Collect Data & Photos

Mark locations, snap photos, scan barcodes, and fill smart forms on-site. Use pick lists, formulas, and conditional fields to collect cleaner attributes with less typing.

🔗

Related Forms for Repeat Work

Attach Inspection, Maintenance Log, and Meter Reading forms to the same asset layer. Fill them out again and again while keeping every record linked to the parent feature.

📥

Import & Export CSV

Import CSV spreadsheets with coordinates to create point layers. Export any layer as GeoJSON, KML, Shapefile, or CSV — with photos bundled in a ZIP.

🌍

Core Website Languages

Website available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Italian, and Turkish.

📍

Collect Points in the Field

Tap the map to drop GPS-stamped points. Fill out attribute forms, snap photos, and scan barcodes — all on-site. Every observation is saved to your layer instantly.

🛰

Download Reference Data

Pull in SSURGO soils, FEMA flood zones, rivers, and wetlands directly from the map. No external downloads or file hunting required.

Built for the 1-3 person field team.

GoGIS fits the work that is too real for a simple map viewer, but too small to justify accounts, admin setup, and monthly platform overhead.

Solo field pros

Collect on your iPhone, review on your iPad or Mac, and keep your project files under your control.

Two-person crews

Split up across a farm, site, route, service area, or property, then exchange changes nearby with Field Sync.

Small consultants

Bring client shapefiles, collect inspections or samples, and deliver clean GIS exports and reports.

Disconnected jobs

Work where cell service is unreliable, keep data local, and finish the job without waiting on a cloud connection.

New: Field Sync

Sync small-team changes directly in the field.

Field Sync lets two nearby GoGIS devices exchange project changes directly. Each device packages the records it has changed, sends them to the selected peer, receives the peer's changes, and applies the incoming package on-device.

  • Per-record sync helps solo users and small crews keep devices aligned
  • Useful for one iPhone plus one iPad, two-person crews, and disconnected job sites
  • Syncs layers, folders, feature records, photos, related form schema, and related records needed to reconstruct the project
  • No required cloud account or subscription for the core device-to-device workflow

GoGIS Field Sync sending project changes to a nearby device
One device prepares and sends its local changes.
GoGIS Field Sync receiving project changes from a nearby device
The other device receives and applies the package.
Field Collection

Sampling Workflows, From Field to Lab

GoGIS handles the whole loop on your phone or iPad: build a sample grid, print QR bag labels, collect points with GPS, import your lab results, turn them into interpolated result maps, and export a client-ready PDF report.

  • Generate numbered sample grids inside any polygon — acres or hectares, with rotation and offset
  • Print peel-and-stick QR or barcode bag labels, then scan them back in the field
  • Walk to each point with live GPS, fill out your form, and watch it turn green when visited
  • Import the lab's CSV — matched to each sample by Bag ID — and map any result as a color heat map
  • Export a PDF report with a heat-map page per chemical to hand to your grower or agronomist

Straight Out of the App: a Client-Ready Report

Tap Export and GoGIS builds a polished PDF — an overview map of the field and a color heat-map page for each chemical, ready to hand to your grower or agronomist.

Built-in Quality Control

Every sample point automatically records four fields so you can trace and verify your work:

gogis_parent_id Links each sample point back to the polygon it belongs to
gogis_lat & gogis_lon Records where the form was actually filled out — not just where the point is on the grid
gogis_distance Shows how far you were from the sample point when you collected — a quick quality-control check
Data Entry

Smart Forms, Built Your Way

Design the exact data entry form your field crew needs. Add pick lists, barcode scanners, photo fields, formulas, and conditional visibility rules — then collect consistent, structured data every time.

  • Pick lists with predefined values — no typos, no guessing
  • Calculate values like acres × rate, days since last visit, or totals from related records
  • Show only the fields that matter based on earlier answers
  • Scan barcodes and QR codes directly into text fields
  • Capture photos attached to each feature with GPS coordinates
  • Collect signatures on-screen for delivery confirmation or chain-of-custody

Analysis Tool

Buffer & Analyze

Create buffer zones around any feature — roads, wells, rivers, buildings. Select one or more features, choose a distance, and GoGIS generates accurate polygon buffers you can overlay with other layers.

  • Buffer points, lines, or polygons by any distance
  • Output into a new layer or an existing one
  • Preserve a parent ID column linking each buffer back to its source feature
  • Works entirely on-device — no internet needed
