Avoid Overlaps (Topology)
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
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.
