We recently released our new toolbox - ikeTools™ - for rapidly capturing GIS location data and making measurements of complex objects from a remote location. Now you have the ability, right from your ikeGPS™ screen, to complete the most demanding field data capture jobs far more quickly and efficiently than ever before.

ikeTools Data Capture Modes

Target Position: The work horse of ikeGPS mobile GIS data capture. Point ikeGPS at a remote object such as a tree, pole or building and capture its GPS location using the onboard GPS, laser range finder and compass. One shot and you’re on to the next object. Learn more about Target Position.

Three Shot Height: Directly measure the height of an object, such as a pole, from a remote position, even when the base of the object is obscured. Learn more about Three Shot Height.

Missing Line: Calculate the horizontal distance between any two objects. Learn more about Missing Line.

Span Height: Calculate the vertical height above ground of a point on a span, for example the mid-span height of a cable or wire. Learn more about Span Height.

Photo Only: Capture a high resolution photo of an object. Useful for documenting the conditions of located or measured objects, for identifying hazards for field crews and for including in assessments. Learn more about Photo Only.
