Contour - Volume - Stakeout 1.0.5

This application, titled “Contour - Volume - Stakeout,” offers a comprehensive suite of tools for spatial data visualization, digitization, and analysis, suitable for professionals in fields such as agriculture, surveying, and land management. Users can generate detailed contour maps of elevation or other variables of interest utilizing their iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch devices. These maps facilitate volume calculations within specific regions—beneficial for applications like soil volume estimation or land grading. For example, a farmer can record soil data points across a farm and produce a contour map to guide fertilizer distribution or leveling efforts.

The app's digitization features enable precise marking of points, lines, and areas directly on an integrated map. When equipped with GPS hardware, users can record real-time locations or select existing GPS coordinates as nodes in their drawings. The precision of these recorded points aligns with the accuracy of the device’s GPS receiver.

Additional functionality includes Point and Line Stakeout features, which assist users in locating reference points or following predefined boundaries via on-screen guidance. The contour maps are exportable to PDF format, while spatial data—such as features and contour lines—can be exported as text files, Shapefiles, or DXF files for use in other GIS applications.

• Supports importing Shapefiles, DXF files, and text data for integration with existing datasets.
• Allows creation of grids and sampling point generation to facilitate field data collection.
• Provides tools for precise digitization of geographic features over the base map.
• Includes Point Stakeout and GPS-enabled node recording to aid field navigation.
• Enables visualization of feature dimensions—lengths, areas, and positions—with labeling options for segments and angles.
• Provides measurement tools allowing distance and area calculations without storing geometries.
• Allows adjustment of existing nodes for accurate map editing.
• Supports creation of points from specified coordinates or by GPS capture.
• Offers data management capabilities through job file saving and exporting features in DXF, Shapefile, CSV, and PDF formats.
• In-app documentation provides detailed guidance on all functionalities.

Please be aware that continuous GPS operation can significantly impact battery performance. The application offers easy toggling of GPS functionality to manage power consumption effectively.
