A camera-led field notebook that keeps photos with project names, point identifiers, notes and available position and direction readings. Review the work from Photos or Map. Choose camera guides and inspect azimuth, elevation, grade or tilt while framing a view. Existing measurement modes use the phone’s sensors and camera; several are beta.

Small tips. Better results.

Useful habits for your next task.

All tips in the guide ›

Choose the project and point prefix before a field sequence so the pictures are easy to group later.

Wait for a usable GPS fix and read the displayed accuracy; a photo with no location cannot supply a reliable map position.

Watch heading trust and Metal nearby indications. Move away from vehicles, railings and magnetic cases when the heading needs a check.

Use a short note to identify what the picture shows, which direction you faced or what needs a later check.

Keep the phone steady when reading angles. Hold preserves readings while you inspect them.

Use guide layers that help the task and review the full photograph before taking the next point.

For two-photo comparisons, identify the same visible feature carefully in both images. Different viewpoints and poor positioning affect the result.
