CES Mobile GIS

CES Mobile GIS — Professional Field Data Collection & Site Verification

Transform your field workflows with CES Mobile GIS, the professional-grade mapping and data collection app designed for site verification teams, GIS specialists, and field engineers. Work online or offline with powerful tools to capture, edit, and manage spatial data wherever your projects take you.

Key Features:

Interactive Map Visualization

• High-performance vector maps with multiple basemap styles (Google Roads, Satellite, Hybrid, Terrain, Light, Dark) • API-driven data themes with status-based symbology and layer legends • Dynamic layer rendering with per-layer and sub-type visibility controls • Topography overlays with viewport-optimized rendering • Map tilt, compass reset, and optional 3D buildings when pitched • GPS tracking with one-tap centering on your location

Search & Navigation

• Search project features by attribute values • Geocode addresses and places when online • Fly to search results and selected features on the map • Open external maps apps for turn-by-turn directions to a feature

Feature Creation & Editing

• Create new Point, Line, and Polygon features directly on the map • Drop a point at your current GPS location on a chosen layer • Edit existing geometries with intuitive vertex handles • Smart snapping to nearby features for precise placement • Midpoint insertion for adding vertices to lines and polygons • Edit feature attributes when you have permission

Photo Documentation

• Capture photos or choose images from your library, linked to map features • Map photo thumbnails at high zoom; tap for full preview • Automatic background sync when connectivity is restored • Full offline photo caching

Field Work & Capture Tasks

• My Work tab — assigned capture fields for the active project • Feature Work tab on the map bottom sheet for tasks tied to a selected feature • Outstanding-only filter to focus on incomplete work • View on map to jump from a task to its feature • Offline worklist cache with pending capture sync

Team Collaboration

• In-app messaging inbox and chat threads with unread badges • Add comments to features for team communication • Offline comment queuing with automatic synchronization • Complete comment history per feature

Project Management

• Browse and search projects with hierarchical organization • Database selector when your account has access to more than one GIS database • Download projects for complete offline access (design tiles, basemap, themes, glyphs) • Automatic project metadata caching with sync status monitoring • Per-project and bulk refresh for cached projects

Local Change Sync & Conflict Resolution

• Save geometry creates, edits, and deletes locally, then sync when online • My Changes panel for pending uploads, synced history, photos, and comments • Conflict detection with side-by-side attribute and geometry comparison • Revert or delete local changes before they reach the server

Site Visit Route Recording

• Automatic GPS route recording while you work on the map (with your consent) • Show or hide today’s path from the Tools menu • When enabled by the user, CES Mobile GIS records site visit routes using location data, including in the background, so project teams can confirm field coverage and sync route points to the project account.

Support Tickets

• Log support tickets from the project info bar with type, department, description, and optional photos

Built for the Field

• Offline-first architecture — work without connectivity, sync when connected • Branded in-app disclosures before location permission requests • Automatic background synchronization • Real-time network status monitoring

Secure & Reliable

• Secure authentication with session management • Encrypted data transmission • Local SQLite database for robust data persistence
