Let XMap GIS Help Drive Worker Productivity Today

XMap GIS Software with Earthmate GPS PN-Series is assisting construction companies at both site planning and site preparation stages. XMap can help your site managers make better decisions by providing GIS data visualizations of construction areas and the surrounding terrain. GPS data collection and navigation hardware can help your construction workers stay on task and on target.

XMap for Construction

DeLorme's XMap GIS Enterprise software is helping construction companies optimize their construction site workflows by getting people and equipment on-site on time - even in remote rural environments
Understanding the environmental impact of construction work on surrounding areas can avoid downstream trouble. XMap can provide visualization of your work site with a variety of overlayed data layers like creeks and rivers, endangered species, and the impact of spills based on grades and slopes
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, accurate maps and imagery, GPS data collection, and navigation tools are critical tools supporting construction planning and preparation
XMap is the easy-to-use data visualization tool providing site managers with comprehensive, shared views of existing and future infrastructure including facility, centerline, as-builts, and survey data

Share Critical Information throughout Your Organization

Share critical map views with field technicians. Export GIS map views, aerial imagery, or geo-registered scanned images to the Earthmate GPS PN-Series handheld receiver. Improve decision-making and empower construction technicians by providing access to critical data.

View critical infrastructure data against aerial or satellite imagery. Conduct side-by-side analysis of before and after maps. Build environmental impact visualizations
Import and geo-reference scanned images and blueprints - Transfer the resulting raster map layer to the Earthmate GPS PN-Series
Efficiently direct your field technicians to the job site using GPS navigation. Get outside-the-vehicle navigation using the Earthmate GPS PN-Series
Automate data synchronization for field editing processes including query views, redlining, and data check-out/in. Develop work flows that maintain data integrity across your mobile work force
Full GIS support. Supports ESRI .shp, MapInfo .mif, .tab, and AutoCAD .dxf, .dwg files. ArcSDE support included with XMap GIS Enterprise
