- Most phones have GPS, but how do you use it to land survey an area?
That is a good question, because many people want to use the GPS of their phone to land survey. And when they want to land survey they want to measure for example the area of their property.
So then they want to know how to use the GPS on their phone to land survey an area.
And that is exactly what we explain in this video.
To land survey an area with the GPS of your phone you only need one extra app. That is a land survey app. And the easiest land survey app is Apglos Survey Wizard.
So if you want to land survey with a phone then use Apglos Survey Wizard. You will be able to land survey with it.
If it is wise to land survey with the GPS of your phone is a second question.
That is why we compare the results of the measured area with a phone with the result of the area of a complete GPS surveying kit.
Check out the results.
Topograhic surveying is one of the main things in land surveying. But you can do it yourself.
When you want to do topograhic surveying yourself then GPS surveying is the way to go.
To do topograhic surveying with GPS you only need:
- a GNSS receiver (we use the Emlid Reach RS2)
- a GPS rod
- a tablet mount
- an Android tablet (we use the Apglos Armor)
- Land survey software (we use Apglos Survey Wizard)
With only this you can do topograhic survey. The reason why you can do topograhic survey with this is the easy to use land survey software Apglos Survey Wizard.
It is the easiest land survey app for Android. In this video we show you how to survey a point, line, arc, polyline and a polygon with this easy to use land survey app for Android.
Those are also the main elements that you will use in topograhic surveying.

Thanks. I can see this would be useful to ball park property lines, and if they appear really off, then to bring in a professional land surveyor. Sometimes fence lines, in rural areas, slowly get moved as the fences fall and then are replaced.
If you want more accuracy first you can get your own kit: ruclips.net/video/3cvEUfNCnzM/видео.html
Very misleading calling this a land surveying app. This doesn’t even come close to the accuracies of a land survey. Your phone is not capable of measuring locations accurately enough to determine land boundaries. This is at best a novelty and should be regarded as such. Signed a concerned professional Land Surveyor.
This app can be connected with a gnss receiver, and then you get a centimeter accurate position. Further we do say that you can't use your only your phone if you want to land survey accurate.
So actually we are saying the same
It appears I need to actually know my own property line in order to use this. My problem is I don't know where my property line is. I need to find it. So there is no app that will do that, is there? Our property pins are non-existent or we would just use those. Oh well, guess I'll just put up my fence and hope for the best. Hahaha.
Thanks for making this video. Is it possible to use differential correction with two phones to get accurate results?
Hi Owen, thanks for your question. You have to understand that in a phone there is a GPS chip and in a GNSS receiver there is an RTK module. The RTK module can use correction data and a GPS chip can't. That is the difference. So if you want to land survey accurate you should work with a GNSS receiver or with a tablet like our Apglos Armor Pro that does have an integrated RTK module
It appears from the error, if you were to hold the phone over the point that was used with GPS survey. You may have had a closer figure for the area to that arrived at by the GPS unit. 968 sq m corresponds to approx 31 x 31 m and 1395 sq m corresponds to 37 x 37 m. Please see if you trace it one more time and check. Make sure the phone is not covered overhead. How about the specific GPS coordinate readings given by the 2?
How to survey when part is obliterated by hous
Thank you sir🥰
You are welcome
How we can find in gpa level of hight
I’d like to find property corners using your software and a recorded surveyor’s plat. Is this possible?
You can find property corners with our software. But if you want to do it accurate you need to connect it with a gnss receiver. Phone gps modules itself are not that accurate
@@Apglos using a gnss receiver does NOT tell anyone where property corners are. They only provide a position based on the datum and geoid used. They are a measuring device, nothing more.
I wish I could understand this man.
If you have a specific question Just ask. We would love to answer
This guy and this video is a waste of time you cannot understand this dude
😁
Thanks for you share knowedge and guidance survey kindly please support to fix this issue
When I click the Point I receiev warning message. "The last received position is more than 5 second...."
How to fix it
With out connect antena only the apglos can pick up point and how get stelet information
Good video. Where can I get that survey kit?
Thanks. If you want a good survey kit, then you can contact us through our website: www.apglos.eu
How can i now used the app to determine the poi already being surved
You can go to Screen menu -> Stake out to refind your POI
Does this include heights?
Yes the app Apglos Survey Wizard saves the heights of all mapped points. Of course when you want to know the heights you need to know at what level the antenna is of the ground level. You can fill this in in Other settings
interesting software
Thanks
I thought the guy was faking an accent at first. I was like that's racist lol
Real accent🤣
Thanks for your share knowledge
Let me explain these two Question
1.How to transfer data to PC what format file will be
2.should app support Point pick up as RTK
The thumbnail indicates problems. I mean if that not an "it's iffy" body language, I don't know what is.
We will practise more on the thumbnails. Thanks for the advice
The app doesn't work in my phone
Can you download the app?
What Android version you have?
Couldn't understand a thing he said. Liked it anyway...
The good thing is that you enjoyed it 👍😉
Lol sorry but you have a very digital voice….would it have been different if you had placed your phone on the same points as the staff was placed?
Haha my wife says I sound like a robot 😁 The phone and the GPS rod were held on the same spots. The accuracy of a phone is never the same as the one of a GNSS receiver.
It not working
Let us know why it would not be working through the contact form on www.apglos.eu
Pretty sure this will get you sued for certain in my country, and probably beheaded in others. This is just "Mapping." If you turn in this map to an engineer for a civil design, you will be laughed at. If you bring it to court for a property dispute you will lose the case... If you use it to plan a landscaping project on land you definitely own, that's probably okay...
Ok well he redeemed himself in the end by showing that app wasn't even close at all.
That is the whole point of the video. If you just use the app with your phone you will get not that accurate results, but if you use Apglos Survey Wizard with a GNSS receiver you get very precise results.
Horrible audio makes this useless
Sorry for that. Next time we will record better audio
