Avoid Overlaps: Polygon Topology Checks

Topology checks that clip new and edited polygons to the boundaries of existing features so they never overlap - and cut a matching hole when one feature fully encloses another. Pro+ feature on Mapit GIS for Android and iOS, built for cadastral and professional data capture.

Buffer Tool: Create Buffer Polygons

Generate a polygon buffer at a chosen radius around any existing feature (point, polyline, or polygon). Pro+ feature on Mapit GIS for Android and iOS.

Configure the Survey in Mapit

How to configure a new survey project and attribute fields in Mapit GIS, including key setup steps and best practices.

Layer fields linking

Link layer fields to Attribute Sets or to another layer's column to drive dropdowns, multiselect lists, barcode scanning, and value relations.

Layer Styling

Learn how to customise layer appearance in Mapit GIS, including colours and style by attribute value for thematic mapping.

Main Menu

Learn how to access and use the main menu in Mapit GIS, including switching basemaps, managing layers, handling online/offline maps, and accessing shortcuts.

Survey design

Learn how to design an efficient survey for spatial data collection in Mapit GIS. This guide covers best practices for setting up survey projects, ensuring compatibility and data integrity.

Vertex and Edge Snapping

Snap new and dragged vertices to existing features for topologically clean shared vertices and watertight boundaries. Pro+ feature on Mapit GIS.

Vertex Input Modes

Choose how new vertices are added to line and polygon features in Mapit GIS - crosshair, tap-on-map, distance and bearing, or by typing exact coordinates. Cycle between modes from the edit toolbar.

WMS, WMTS and XYZ Online Maps

Learn how to add, configure, and use online map services (WMS, WMTS, XYZ, etc.) in Mapit GIS, including connecting to remote map layers and handling online base maps.
