Description

Turn your iPhone or iPad 2 camera into a photo-based field data collection tool. Available from the Apple® App Store, GeoJot allows iPhone and iPad 2 users to enter attribute descriptions (name, condition, value, etc) and attach them to photographs as they are taken. In addition, the application geotags photos with GPS coordinates that are more accurate than is standard for these devices.

The images can then be wirelessly transferred, downloaded, or emailed to the office for processing. The app will soon be ready for Android. Get the most out of the equipment you already carry. See a recorded webinar on GeoJot or sign up for an upcoming webinar. Please contact us with any questions.

Photos acquired with GeoJot must be with GPS-Photo Link software to access the enhanced accuracy and attribute information outside of the iPhone/iPad platform. Use GPS-Photo Link desktop software to extract the enhanced information and create - printed reports, ESRI Shape Files and GeoDatabases, Google Earth maps, watermarked photos, and more. In addition to these output options, all of the information you collect is written into the EXIF header of each photo. So you never have to worry about broken links between your photos and your database records. Find a GPS-Photo Link reseller near you.

In conjunction with the release of GPS-Photo Link 5.1 in November of 2011, we are now offering enterprise licensing for GeoJot. Together, enterprise licenses of GPS-Photo Link and GeoJot empower organizations to leverage the latest smartphone technology, turning the phone that everyone carries into a data collection device to drive better decision making. This package is perfect for an organization with large field crews who don’t want to spend the time or money purchasing or training staff to use high-end data collection devices. GeoSpatial Experts will work with you to create customized attribute lists to ensure standardized data collection as well as integrating the output into your current workflow ending in ArcGIS output, input into a non-GIS database or the creation of publicly accessible maps. Whether it is reporting a pothole or capturing photo documentation after a disaster, GeoJot can provide the functionality you need for 3-1-1 services, community-based collaboration, and crowdsourcing. Please contact us for pricing or with questions about how the app can be tailored for your organization.
