Frequently asked questions.

The common questions about ZiaMap, the hub for land survey operations.

What is ZiaMap?

ZiaMap is the hub for land survey operations, built for land surveyors and civil engineers. It captures GPS-tagged photos and chronological field notes that sync in real time from the field crew to the office. Transcription is eliminated. Office-side review opens already complete.

Who is ZiaMap built for?

Civil engineering and land surveying teams, typically firms with 5 to 49 employees. It is built for field crews who need real professional documentation without enterprise complexity or enterprise pricing. Review the ZiaMap pricing before rolling it out to your crews.

Does ZiaMap work offline?

Yes. ZiaMap is designed for remote sites with little or no connectivity. Field crews capture photos, GPS-tagged notes, and voice memos fully offline in the mobile app. Everything syncs automatically to the cloud and the desktop app once connectivity returns.

Does ZiaMap replace the software and hardware my firm already uses?

No. ZiaMap works alongside the tools your firm already runs: Trimble, Leica, Topcon, Carlson, AutoCAD, and others. Your instruments capture the coordinates. Your office software drafts. ZiaMap captures everything in between: photos, field notes, signed tickets, and session records tied to the project. See what ZiaMap works with.

What devices does ZiaMap support?

iOS and Android for field capture. The desktop app for office review, project management, and PDF export runs in any modern web browser. No installation required.

Can ZiaMap replace paper field notes?

Yes. ZiaMap replaces the entire paper field book. Photos and notes are captured, GPS-tagged, and timestamped inside the platform, eliminating post-day transcription. After a site visit the field crew is already done and the office has a complete, organized Field Journal.

What software do land surveyors use for field documentation?

Surveyors commonly use a mix of paper field books, camera-roll photos, and platforms like Trimble Access. ZiaMap is a dedicated complement to those tools, one app for the whole documentation workflow without the office overhead. See field documentation for surveying firms.

What should a civil engineering field report include?

Date and time of the site visit, personnel present, GPS coordinates of observations, photos of conditions, weather, and any specific findings. ZiaMap captures all of these during field work and produces them as a formatted PDF. See engineering field documentation.

Who owns the data captured in ZiaMap?

You do. All field data captured by your team belongs to you. You can export every record to CSV at any time. We do not sell, share, or train on your data, ever.
