Everything LocateIQ does in the field
Map and document utility locates with exactitude — from survey-grade positioning and locate-mode scoring to photos, tickets, and two-way sync with the GIS you already run.

Field Photos
Photos that live with your data, not in a camera roll.
- Geotagged photo capture tied to survey points
- Photos attached to AGM (above-ground marker) points, shown as photo markers on the map
- Photo thumbnails on map symbology so you identify assets visually at a glance
- Photos sync to ArcGIS as feature attachments and to Subsurface Maps
- Wi-Fi-only upload option so field crews don't burn cellular data
- Queued/offline photo upload that resumes when connectivity returns
Works Directly With Your ArcGIS Account
Your maps, your layers, your schema — LocateIQ signs into ArcGIS as you.
- Sign in with your own ArcGIS credentials (OAuth) — no data broker in between
- Reads your existing web maps and layers, honoring your symbology
- Two-way editing of points, lines, and polygons in your hosted feature layers
- Picture-marker symbology imported from your web map so field symbols match your desktop
- Per-layer field mapping so captured attributes land in your existing schema
- Layer selection and visibility control in the field
- Editable-layer targeting — choose which layers receive points vs lines
- Company-level web map configuration pushed to devices
Works Directly With Your Subsurface Maps Account
First-class Subsurface Maps support, not an afterthought.
- Sign in with existing Subsurface Maps credentials
- Layer browsing and permissions that mirror your DM setup
- Point, line, and polygon capture into DM layers
- Photo attachments to DM features
- Sync queue with retry, conflict handling, and visible pending counts
Exports
Get your data out in whatever shape the next person needs.
- KMZ export, including photos, for sharing with anyone who has Google Earth
- CSV export of survey data with full attributes
- GeoJSON for boundaries and geometry
- Line summary exports with lengths and quality scores
- Per-ticket export packaging
Security & Encryption
The short version — the detail lives on its own pages.
- Encrypted local database on the device
- Multi-factor authentication support
- Row-level security enforced at the database, not just the app
- Encrypted transport for all cloud sync
Ticket Associations (811 / One-Call)
Tickets are projects, not tags.
- Tickets as first-class projects with their own data
- Ticket boundary polygons on the map for locate context
- Survey data organized per ticket
- Ticket status and due-date tracking
- Per-ticket photos, exports, and line summaries
- Public share links so contractors and stakeholders can view a ticket without an account
Survey-Grade Positioning
Centimeter work needs centimeter tools.
- RTK corrections over NTRIP from any caster
- Bluetooth GNSS receivers and mock-location providers
- Real-time fix type, accuracy, and correction age
- Antenna height compensation
- Capture Lock — block points that don't meet your accuracy standard (HRMS, VRMS, fix type, correction age, staking distance), configurable per gate
Locate Mode
Built for tracing utilities, not just dropping pins.
- Purpose-built utility-locating perspective and heading-follow camera
- Audio guidance while tracing a line
- LocateIQ scoring — a per-point rating from signal, compass, null, current, GNSS, and CFC inputs
- AGM association bonus for points captured at above-ground markers
- Distance-from-last-point staking alerts
Coordinate Systems & Accuracy
Defensible coordinates, not just close ones.
- Full EPSG support with per-project coordinate reference configuration
- HTDP time-dependent transformations
- Geoid model support for orthometric elevations
- NAD83 epoch handling
- Grid transformations with cached transforms
- Transformation metadata saved with every point for defensibility
Offline & Sync
No bars, no problem.
- Full offline capture — no signal required
- Automatic sync when connectivity returns, with configurable interval
- Pending-item counts visible at a glance
- Conflict handling on two-way edits
Team & Administration
Standards set once, enforced everywhere.
- Multi-company support with complete data isolation
- Seat-based licensing
- Web settings console — push capture standards, units, and scoring configuration to every device
- Company-locked settings — enforce standards centrally; field users see them locked
- Per-user quality ratings and activity history
Works With the Hardware You Already Carry
LocateIQ runs on the phones and receivers your crews own today — no proprietary hardware lock-in.
Phones & tablets
- iPhone and iPad (iOS app)
- Android phones and tablets
- Works with built-in device GPS for mapping-grade work
GNSS receivers
- Bluetooth & BLE RTK GNSS receivers (NMEA output)
- Archer-series field computers
- Mock-location providers — GNSS Master, SW Maps, Emlid Flow, Lefebure NTRIP Client
Utility locators
- Precision utility locators — any brand with a survey-log / BLE data stream
- Locator RTK streams alongside signal readings
- Signal, current, and depth captured with each point
Corrections
- Any NTRIP caster — bring your own network
- Built-in Cloud NTRIP subscriptions (SwiftNav Skylark)
- Decimeter and centimeter tiers
Compatible hardware
This list isn't exhaustive. LocateIQ connects over open standards — NMEA, NTRIP, Bluetooth & BLE — so most survey-grade GNSS receivers and utility locators work regardless of brand. Using something else? Tell us your device and we'll find a way to support it.
