DATA ACCOUNTABILITY

Attach Photos and Forms to Any Feature

To help improve the documentation and reliability of collected data, users can attach photos/sketches taken while out in the field as well as Locate Forms that contain the associated One Call Ticket information, requirements, and methods used.

Stores Attributes for each Point and Line

In addition to user information and location, the pedigree/details panel also lists the GPS receiver, utility locator, CRS, Geoid model, utility codes, Fix Type (correction), PointMan version, mobile device model, as-built information, and antenna height if they were used in the process of collecting the data, as well as all associated accuracy levels, elevations, altitudes, comments, photos/sketches, and forms/PDFs.

Supports PDFs out in the Field

PointMan gives users the ability to create and view PDFs while out in the field. This allows for an increase in accountability and a decrease in liability as field personnel can easily refer to necessary documents from within the app at any location.

Supports Forms out in the Field

PointMan gives users the ability to create and view forms while out in the field. This allows for an increase in accountability and a decrease in liability as field personnel can easily refer to necessary documents from within the app at any location.

User Information & Location on Every Feature

PointMan’s patented “Precision & Pedigree” technology stores attributes on each feature automatically, including the username of the user who created the feature, the date and time of when the feature was created, as well as the GPS coordinates of the feature and the depth, where applicable.

DATA COLLECTION

Collect Multiple Features Simultaneously

Users can pause line collection to collect points, lines, or polygons that are separate from the line-work and add attributes, comments, and symbols to the line vertexes without having to end the line first. This process significantly saves time, effort, and money as it allows you to collect everything in one pass.

Feature Lock

Feature lock allows users to collect as many data points of the same feature as needed in one go, thus improving efficiency by removing the need to reselect the feature from the New Place Mark dialog each time.

Photos & Sketches

Capture photos related to the project(s) right from the mobile device. You can also create sketches of the map and data and even include them as attachments in PDF forms. PointMan allows you to circle items of interest in photos as well as add notes to it. You can export these as photos or PDFs.

Split and Join Lines

Should there be a need to abandon a section of collected line, users can split that line into two and collectively remove the associated points instead of deleting them one by one. Should two lines need to be merged as one, users can do so by using the join feature.

Associate Features to Each Other

Users can associate a photo, file, or feature to another feature. For example, you can associate a valve with a photo taken while out in the field. This allows for better documentation practices and ease-of-use in PointMan.

DATA EXCHANGE

Export Multiple Formats

PointMan allows you to export data into several different file formats, such as KML, KMZ, CSV, shapefile, PDF, photo, and GDB, via email. These file types work with other GIS mapping software, such as Google Earth and ArcGIS.

KMZ Import

PointMan allows pre-existing data to be imported as a KMZ file with a limit of 20 MB, which will appear as a layer inside of your project(s).

Configurable Data Dictionary

PointMan comes with a default data dictionary of the most common sub-surface utility features. Users looking for components not in the default dictionary can create new components with custom names and attributes.

Supports Custom Attributes

Within the Data Dictionary, users can edit existing components or create new components to include attributes, such as a number or text-based value, the current date and/or time, and the current user, all with a customized labeling capability.

Export at the Project or Feature Level

Users can choose to export an entire project or an individual/group of features, with the associated pedigree, attributes, photos, and PDFs included in the file, into any of the following supported formats: KML, KMZ, Shapefiles, CSV, and GDB, via email. These file types work with other GIS mapping software, such as Google Earth and ArcGIS, allowing you to easily share your data with others and view your data externally.

DATA PRECISION

Multiple VRS/Correction Sources Available

PointMan supports VRS, RTVRN, Base/Rover, and satellite-based Catalyst corrections, granting you access to RTK positioning solutions. Trimble Catalyst provides offline corrections out in the field, with access to RTX positioning services.

Stakeout for Points and Lines

PointMan’s stakeout feature will guide users to the exact location of the selected point or line on the map. For line staking, there are two modes: Nearest and Station. Nearest will take users to the nearest intersection of the selected line, while Station will anchor a point at the distance (entered in by the user) from the selected start point. Stakeout also includes the Cut/Fill values to be used for depth-of-cover surveys.

Real-Time Datum Translations

Users can select a coordinate reference system (CRS) to store data that can be exported with both sets of coordinates (Reference Projection and WGS84) and will line up in other GIS software. PointMan supports custom local projections (.prj), ITRF2014 (all Epochs), and all other standard projections & datums.

Geoid Support

PointMan can convert GPS calculated elevation measurements into four supported elevation Geoid models: EGM96, 12A, 12B, and Geoid18, and lines up properly with other survey-grade project data, features, and line work.
