Import your GIS files, collect structured records offline, sync nearby Android and Apple devices, and export clean data when the job is done. GoGIS keeps projects on your devices with no subscription and no account required.
Collect in the field on iPhone or iPad, review and organize projects on a larger screen, and use the same project structure, forms, imagery, and open GIS formats as GoGIS for Android.
Use GoGIS on Android phones and tablets with the same project structure, forms, imagery, open GIS formats, and practical field tools available on Apple devices.
GoGIS now works with Bad Elf GPS receivers on iPhone and iPad, giving field crews a simple way to bring external GPS into mapping, sampling, and data collection workflows — even beyond cellular coverage. Bad Elf support is currently available on iOS only; Android support is not yet available.

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.
Bring your own drone orthophotos, aerial photos, and satellite imagery into the field. GoGIS imports GeoTIFF and MBTiles imagery, converts it to map tiles on the device, and overlays it on the basemap — no server, no account, and it keeps working offline once imported.
Open a layer — or a feature’s related form entries — as an editable grid, the attribute table you know from the desktop, on a tablet. Select several records, set a value across all of them in one step, and keep working. Every edit is undoable, so you can make sweeping changes without fear, untethered and offline.
The questions that used to wait for a desktop GIS — what soils sit under this field, how much ground is left after a 50-foot setback, merge these pieces back by soil type — now run on the phone or iPad. Buffer, Intersect, Difference, and Dissolve live under Geometry Operations. Run them on a whole layer from the layer menu, or on just the features you have selected from the Tools menu.
Put a 100-foot ring around wells, a 50-foot corridor along a stream, or a spray-drift setback around a field edge. Points become circles, lines become corridors, polygons grow or shrink. Turn on dissolve when overlapping rings should become one outline.
Select this year’s fields, pick your SSURGO soils layer, and Intersect writes one piece per field/soil pair — attributes from both sides. That is the “what soils are under this field?” question, answered without cutting the entire county.
Subtract wetlands, a floodway, or a wellhead-protection buffer from a parcel so you see the plantable or buildable remainder. The other layer is subtracted in full; only the selected parcels — or the whole layer, from the layer menu — come back.
Dissolve a county parcel layer by mailing address and every lot that shares an owner’s mail-to collapses into one feature — a map of who holds what. After an Intersect you can also merge pieces back by soil type, with area and a count of what was merged.
Field Sync lets two nearby GoGIS devices exchange project changes directly, including Android-to-Android, Apple-to-Apple, and Android-to-Apple. Each device packages its changes, sends them to the selected peer, receives the peer’s changes, and applies the incoming package on-device.
GoGIS handles the whole loop on your phone or tablet: 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.
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.
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
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.
Many field workflows are not one-and-done. A meter needs readings every month. A valve may need inspections, maintenance logs, and photos over time. A field boundary may have several samples or follow-up visits. Related Forms let you attach those repeatable records to the GIS feature instead of cramming everything into one attribute table.
GoGIS_ID
Generate professional PDF maps straight from your phone or tablet. GoGIS builds a print layout with your map, legend, title, scale bar, north arrow, and projection info — ready to share or print.
Runs on Android phones and tablets, iPhone, iPad, and supported Macs — fast, smooth, and built for practical GIS work.
Whether you're collecting data in the field or reviewing it at your desk, GoGIS fits your workflow.
Generate sampling grids, walk to each point with GPS, scan bag barcodes, and record observations — all in one app.
Load meters, valves, poles, and pipe networks from shapefiles. Record inspections, maintenance logs, and repeated meter readings while each entry stays linked to the asset.
Overlay SSURGO soils, FEMA flood zones, wetlands, and rivers. Intersect a field or site with those layers, then collect survey points with photos and notes tied to each location.
Import your own shapefiles, color-code features by attribute, add labels, and produce print-ready PDF map layouts.
View parcel boundaries, search by owner or ID, and layer assessment data over aerial imagery — even offline in rural areas.
Teach spatial concepts with real data on tablets. Students can load, explore, and analyze GIS datasets without a desktop license.
GoGIS opens the most common spatial data formats — no conversion needed.
Step-by-step walkthroughs for common workflows.
Attach inspections, maintenance logs, meter readings, samples, and other repeatable records to the same GIS feature.
