Geolantis.360 is the only enterprise

utility mapping solution in the market.

It combines surveying, mapping, GIS,

and CAD functions, as well as work

management in one application.

Geolantis.360 is a unique cloud-based

solution for utility mapping and

infrastructure networks detection that

delivers Software as a Service (SaaS) to

manage projects, tasks and geospatial

data within one central dashboard.

Geolantis.360 is a mapping solution for

documenting pipelines, cables and

other infrastructure networks.

Geolantis.360Overview

What is Geolantis.360?


While the software allows GIS-like data management and collection, it does not offer all functions

of a full GIS system such as data analysis, geo-processing functions, and spatial queries.

Geolantis.360 should be considered only as a solution for collecting and visualizing GIS features.

Geolantis.360 vs. GIS System


What Geolantis is NOT…!


Geolantis.360 allows importing and exporting CAD files.

However it shows a CAD file (drawing) in every detail and goes far beyond how a GIS software can display CAD

data, it does not offer creating all CAD feature types (arcs, splines,…, etc.).

It allows creating only basic spatial feature types such as point, line, and polygon.

Geolantis.360 vs. CAD System

OverviewWhat Geolantis is NOT…!

Geolantis.360


Geolantis.360 field app allows surveying-like data collection tools but does not offer every function offered

in a surveying software such as angle measurement, leveling, and 3D laser scanning.

It integrates GPS sensors such as GNSS, TPS and detection devices (EMI, GPR) and offers basic surveying

functions to document detected underground utilities.

It should enable non-surveyors to map pipelines and cable networks.

configuration of the feature class called „Locator“

The Line feature class that will be chosen for

mapping should be linked as a higher category of

„Locator“ feature class

During the mapping, Geolantis mobile field app will

automatically create Locator points along with the

nodes of the line being mapped.

When Geolantis connects to utility locating

equipment, the Locator points will hold attributes

such as depth value of underground features as well

as sensor data.

information in the field app when collecting

features into a particular feature class.

Set up feature class Attributes¹ as follows:

Feature Class Attributes


Use GIS Settings page in the web portal of

Geolantis.360 to configure GPS tolerance for mapping

features by the mobile field app.

Depending on the defined minimum GPS accuracy

values in the GIS Settings page, the mobile field app

allows or prevents mapping new features when a

certain range of GPS accuracy is exceeded.

In the mobile field app, GPS accuracy indicator must

be green (high positional accuracy) or orange

(medium positional accuracy) to allow mapping

features. Red GPS indicator will prevent mapping

features when positional accuracy is low.

1. Set the minimum GPS accuracy that allows mapping

and shows warning of average GPS accuracy. In the

mobile field app, the GPS indicator at the Location info bar changes to orange when this value is reached

2. Set the minimum GPS accuracy that prevents mapping


mobile field app, the GPS indicator at the Location info bar changes to red when this value is reached

3. Choose between Metric or Imperial as preferred

measurement units

Geolantis.360 will export the selected features in a

zipped folder with the same name as the exported

project.

The exported project contains multiple files/layers

equivalent to project feature classes¹.

Important Tips:

-Layers are named based on category/feature class name unless they are

replaced by specified layer name in the feature class settings.
