EFIX eField Android GNSS Surveying Software

EFIX eField Surveying Software

EFIX eField is a professional Android field software package for GNSS surveying, RTK data collection, stakeout, mapping, CAD/GIS workflows, road projects and pipeline surveys. It is designed for field teams that need more than simple point collection: surveyors, construction crews, engineers, GIS workers and mapping professionals can use eField to collect measurements, check design information, set out points and export usable project data.

In daily fieldwork, the value of surveying software comes from how quickly a crew can move from setup to measurement and from measurement to deliverable data. eField brings common GNSS workflows into one app, including receiver connection, work mode management, coordinate system handling, point survey, map survey, stakeout, road functions, import/export and reporting.

Built for GNSS Field Data Collection

EFIX eField supports professional GNSS measurement workflows including RTK, static and PPK. This makes it suitable for crews working with real-time corrections in the field, as well as projects where post-processing or static observations are part of the survey method.

For point collection, eField gives users several measurement options instead of forcing every job into one method. A surveyor can collect standard topographic points, use control-style measurements for important points, record quick points when speed matters, collect continuous points for tracks or profiles, and use offset workflows where the exact point cannot be occupied directly.

Practical Stakeout for Construction and Survey Work

Stakeout is one of the core uses of EFIX eField. The software supports point and line stakeout for common construction layout and boundary work, while surface and road stakeout tools help with more advanced site and infrastructure projects.

For construction professionals, this means the same field app can be used for setting out design points, checking linework, working from CAD data, comparing field positions with surfaces and handling road-related layout. This is useful on building sites, earthworks projects, utility corridors, roads and general infrastructure jobs where crews need clear guidance in the field.

CAD GIS and Map Based Workflows

EFIX eField supports both online and offline map use, giving field crews flexibility depending on the project location and available internet connection. Online map support helps with orientation, while imported CAD, GIS and raster files can be used as project background data during survey and stakeout work.

The software can work with common design and mapping formats such as DXF, DWG, SHP, KML, KMZ and image-based background data. In the field, this helps reduce manual coordinate entry and makes it easier to compare measured GNSS positions with project drawings, asset layers or site plans.

For GIS users, eField also supports custom attribute collection with media attachments. This is useful when a measured point or line needs more than a coordinate, such as a photo, inspection note, asset type, condition field or voice record.

Road Surveying and Infrastructure Tools

Road projects often require stationing, offsets, alignments, cross-sections and design elevation checks. EFIX eField includes road functionality for users working on road construction, corridor surveys and infrastructure layout. Road data can be created or imported, including LandXML workflows, so crews can work from design information instead of manually preparing every set-out coordinate.

These tools are useful for road surveyors, civil engineers and construction teams who need to set out road elements, check cross-sections, work with slopes and create road stakeout records in the field.

Pipeline Survey and Utility Mapping

EFIX eField is also suitable for pipeline and utility survey work. The software supports workflows that combine GNSS receiver data with pipeline detector information, helping users record pipeline positions and related attributes for later use in GIS, CAD or asset management systems.

This makes eField relevant for utility mapping companies, municipal asset teams, infrastructure surveyors and contractors documenting underground services.

Import Export and Reporting

Survey projects rarely start and end inside one app, so file handling is important. EFIX eField supports a wide range of import and export workflows for points, maps, CAD files, GIS data, reports and project information. Field teams can bring design data into the controller before starting work and export collected results for office processing, drafting, reporting or project delivery.

Supported workflows include point files, CAD and GIS reference data, code libraries, coordinate system files, background maps, stakeout reports and survey reports. This helps surveyors and engineers keep field data connected to the office workflow.

Cloud Sharing and Remote Support Functions

EFIX eField includes cloud-related tools for project upload and download, sharing project data and moving information between office and field users. These functions can be helpful for teams that need to share coordinate systems, work modes, project files, basemaps or survey data between multiple controllers or users.

The software also includes remote assistance functions, which can help support teams troubleshoot setup and workflow questions when a user is in the field.

Who Uses EFIX eField?

EFIX eField is mainly used by professionals who need accurate GNSS fieldwork and efficient data handling. Typical users include land surveyors collecting topo data, construction workers setting out points, civil engineers checking site designs, GIS teams mapping assets, drone pilots collecting ground control points and utility crews documenting pipeline or underground infrastructure positions.

Because the software combines measurement, stakeout, mapping, CAD/GIS support and reporting, it is a practical choice for buyers who want one Android app for many GNSS field tasks instead of separate tools for each workflow.

Buying EFIX eField from Global GPS Systems

Global GPS Systems supplies EFIX eField for professional GNSS users who need reliable field software, practical advice and support before and after purchase. If you are combining eField with an EFIX receiver, Android controller, RTK correction service or a complete rover set, Global GPS Systems can help check which configuration fits your surveying, construction, GIS or mapping workflow.
