What's new in 3.0.0
This is the biggest update the app has ever had.
NEW: CAD VIEWER
• Open DXF, Netcad NCZ, KML/KMZ, GeoJSON, shapefile-ZIP and LandXML on a clean canvas
• Real layer names, Netcad colours, hatches and text labels
• Snap to endpoint, midpoint and edge; azimuth, scale and crosshair measurement
• Draw on top, then send only what you want to the map
NEW: SCANNED PLANS & MAP SHEETS
• Place JPG, PNG and PDF sheets on the map
• Automatic georeferencing from world-file (.jgw/.pgw/.tfw) and .prj
• GeoPDF: coordinates inside the PDF are read, no manual placement
• Control-point placement with outlier detection
• Cropping, drag-to-align and rotation correction for skewed scans
NEW: TOTAL STATION, GNSS/RTK & LEVELLING
• Read Leica GSI, Carlson RW5, Sokkia SDR33, Nikon RAW and LandXML
• External GNSS/RTK receivers, NTRIP, site calibration and NMEA logging
• Stake-out now uses the fix from your external receiver
• Levelling: misclosure, tolerance check and adjustment
YOUR OWN COUNTRY'S COORDINATE SYSTEM
• The app now opens with your country's national system — 148 countries
• Coordinates shown in the system you picked: map, attributes and photo stamps
• Move to another zone and the correct zone of the same system follows you
• Search coordinate systems by country name; country picker added to the panel
• You are warned when the system you picked does not cover where you are
MORE
• Import MBTiles tile packages — bring your own basemap
• UTM/MGRS grid on the map
• GPX import and export
• Up to 4 photos per feature
• Rapid mode now works for lines and areas too
• Organise layers into folders and nested groups
• Branded field reports: company name, logo, signature block and QR code
• Offline maps: download, list and delete
• Landscape and tablet support
• Field forms and the whole interface in 46 languages
FIXES
• Map freezing resolved
• Switching files in the CAD viewer no longer throws you back to the map
• Drawings now ask for confirmation before being discarded
• Stake-out distance was not updating — fixed
• Many bug fixes and performance improvements
Released Apr 14, 2026. Current version shipped Aug 18, 2026.
Store description
MapLab Survey is a field GIS and land surveying app: draw, measure, open CAD files, convert coordinates and export to DXF — online or offline.
WORKS IN YOUR COUNTRY, OUT OF THE BOX
The app opens with your country's own national coordinate system and language. 148 countries, 46 languages. Move to another zone and the correct zone of the same system follows you — no manual setup.
DRAW & MEASURE WITH GPS
• Points, lines and polygons
• Area, perimeter, distance, coordinates, slope and volume
• Vertex editing, object snap and undo
• Rapid point mode for fast field capture
CAD VIEWER (BETA)
• Open DXF and Netcad NCZ on a clean canvas — no import needed
• Real layer names and colours
• Snap to endpoint, midpoint and edge; measure with a crosshair
• Draw points, lines and areas, then send only what you want to the map
SCANNED PLANS & MAP SHEETS (BETA)
• Place JPG, PNG and PDF sheets on the map
• Automatic georeferencing from world-file (.jgw/.pgw/.tfw) and .prj
• Control-point placement with residual check
• Rotation of skewed scans is corrected
COORDINATE SYSTEMS
• 564 systems: national grids, UTM, Gauss-Krüger, Lambert and more
• Search by country name in your own language
• Warns you when a system does not cover where you are
• Convert between WGS84, UTM, ED50, TUREF and national grids
GNSS, RTK & STAKE-OUT
• External GNSS / RTK over Bluetooth, with NTRIP

• Volume and cut/fill calculation
• Slope analysis, elevation profile and cross-section
• Contour lines
• Attribute query
• Spatial operations: union, intersection, difference and dissolve
• UTM/MGRS grid on the map
COGO & COORDINATE TOOLS
