Mappt Elements, a free data collection and mapping iOS application, has just released a feature that enables GeoPDFs to be added to a fully interactive map and already comes with a huge range of global datasets.

As part of their initiative to expand into iOS market, the company behind Mappt Elements, Takor Group, believes the intelligent app will not only give the public access to a huge array of quality mapping data, but also save time and reduce costs for an array of industries.
“Takor’s product expansion changes the game for people who need instant access to high resolution satellite imagery, live weather feeds, topographical maps or people who simply want to access their own data on their mobile phone.” noted Amir Farhand, Takor CEO and Founder.
“Our vision is to ‘democratise’ geospatial technology or give everyone access to valuable data and location information.”

What is a GeoPDF?
A GeoPDF is a common format for raster (graphic) maps. They are widely used because of how easy they are view, find and share – anyone can open a PDF, and they can be easily printed.
Although there are other apps that offer GeoPDF support, they behave more like a PDF viewer.
Mappt Elements takes it to a whole new level and places the GeoPDF on a fully interactive map, showing the user how and where a GeoPDF fits into the real world.
The app allows users to stack additional data, such as Shapefiles, on top of the GeoPDF layer, creating an tremendously beneficial and fully customisable map.
Mappt Elements essentially enables the user to stand inside their map or GeoPDF and collect data on top of it.
Because the file is downloaded onto a user’s device, the GeoPDF is also fully available offline.
The interface is simple and easy, allowing any non-GIS professionals to load and play with maps for any type of work that involves location.
Thousands of professions from Arborists through to Zoologists rely on maps from organisations like the USGS.
This GeoPDF support feature in Mappt Elements puts geospatial technology into the hands of everyone with a mobile device.
