Australian geospatial innovation company Klau Geomatics has long established itself as one of the market leaders in mapping and surveying, and the company is now looking to bring added mobile functionality to its suite of products with the introduction of a new survey app that helps surveyors better manage their products.
The 'KlauPPK' ground survey app leverages on the identically named KlauPPK software and hardware programs by sending survey information to the computer for processing. Once data points are processed, survey data can then be incorporated into computer-assisted design programs. The app is also capable of photographing survey points of interest.
The big advantage of this ground survey app is that it allows managers of geospatial survey projects to ensure that data on ground features such as utility facilities and roads are collected and surveyed without spending additional sums of money on survey equipment.
