  • International or US survey foot

Also on the bottom bar: a Compass tab with live magnetic heading and exact UTM grid convergence, and Settings for the optional PIN lock, default units and the marla definition.

Please read — accuracy. Mobile GNSS coordinates are intended for approximate georeferencing and map alignment. Relative survey dimensions and levels should remain based on total-station observations or approved survey control. Compass headings come from the device magnetometer and are affected by nearby metal and magnets. Survey GeoLink is a companion tool — it is not a replacement for survey-grade GNSS, RTK or gyro instruments.

Privacy

Your Data Never Leaves Your Device

Not a policy promise alone — the released app does not even request internet permission.

No Data Collection

No accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting and no cloud sync. Nothing you capture is sent anywhere.

No Internet Permission

The release build does not declare the internet permission at all, so your coordinates physically cannot be transmitted.

Optional PIN Lock

Lock the app on a shared device. The PIN is stored only as a salted hash — never in readable form.

You Control Deletion

Delete projects in-app, or uninstall to remove everything. Files you export elsewhere are yours and are never touched.

FAQ

Common Questions

Is Survey GeoLink accurate enough to replace my total station?
No, and it is not meant to. Phone GNSS gives you an approximate global reference position — typically a few metres — which is ideal for georeferencing a drawing or aligning a site to a map. Your relative dimensions and levels should still come from total-station observations or approved survey control.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes, completely. Every calculation, conversion and file operation runs on the device. The released app does not even request internet permission, which is why it can be used in remote field locations with no signal.
Which UTM zones are supported?
All 60 zones in both hemispheres, with automatic zone detection from your position and the correct EPSG code. The official grid exceptions around Norway and Svalbard are handled, and you can override the zone manually when a project spans a boundary.
Can I import a boundary from Google Earth?
Yes. Export your placemarks or boundary as KML or KMZ from Google Earth, import it with the Import module, and export the same points as UTM easting/northing in a CSV to take to the field. It works in the other direction too.
Can it calculate distance and bearing between two points?
Yes — that is the Points & Bearings module. Pick two saved points (or type coordinates) and you get ΔE, ΔN, the horizontal distance and the grid bearing between them. It also works the other way: from a known point plus a bearing and distance it computes the coordinates of a new point for setting out.
What does the Triangle Solver do?
It solves right-angled triangles. Enter any two of base, perpendicular and hypotenuse and it returns the missing side and the angles — useful for checking a corner is square, working out an offset, or measuring a diagonal from two sides on site.
How does the marla setting work?
Marla size varies regionally, so it is never hard-coded. You choose 272.25 sq ft (traditional), 250 sq ft, 225 sq ft (25 sq yd), or enter any custom value per project. Kanal is always 20 marlas of whichever definition you selected.
What is grid convergence and why does the compass show it?
Grid convergence is the angle between grid north and true north at your position — it grows the further you work from your zone's central meridian. The app computes it exactly from your position and zone, so you can convert a true bearing to a UTM grid bearing when relating total-station work to the grid.
Is my survey data sent to your servers?
No. There are no servers involved. Projects, points and settings live in a local database on your phone. Converted files sit in the app's cache and are cleared automatically after 24 hours; anything you export and save elsewhere belongs to you and is never touched.
Is it free?
Yes. All the features listed on this page are free to use, with no account and no ads.
