  • SuperPad GIS App to Receive NTRIP Solution

    SuperPad_NTRIPGIS software provider Supergeo will release an NTRIP solution on SuperPad, its Windows Mobile GIS app, for high-accuracy field data collection and geospatial workflow enhancement.

    SuperPad is a feature-rich mobile GIS application for field-based personnel to collect, edit, display and measure spatial data. The flexible development environment and customized extensions enable users to create a custom platform. SuperPad supports synchronizing data with an enterprise’s server to improve efficiency.

    SuperPad version 3.3 will support an NTRIP solution with RTK technology. Real-time kinematic (RTK) satellite navigation, one of the latest and widely used technologies within the field of differential GNSS, significantly enhances the precision of the positioning data. RTK positioning can raise accuracy to the centimeter-level.

    With the NTRIP solution, SuperPad is not only be capable of handling post-process DGNSS workflow, but also allows users to connect to network RTK service providers with NTRIP protocol, such as a virtual reference station RTK service provider or private station services. Its operations for turning on the module and quick-to-use settings will save surveyors time, while supporting GNSS receivers from makers such as  u-blox, Hemisphere GNSS and NovAtel.

    Progress of the SuperPad NTRIP Extension is also visualized as a condition monitoring informer on the map intuitively. Users looking for high accuracy or precision status with the RTK correction will find more details about the fixing mode and GNSS information presented clearly with the renewed GPS Status pages.

    A free trial of SuperPad can be downloaded here. A webinar about SuperPad is available here.

  • SuperGeo Technologies Introduces SuperPad 3.1

    SuperGeo Technologies introduces SuperPad 3.1, which mainly enhances the user interface, adjusts toolbar icons, adds SBAS extension, and improves the display of GPS status. For customization, SuperPad 3.1 provides sample codes for developing extensions and offers Microsoft Visual Studio templates to assist users in developing the functions they need. To have a smoother GIS workflow, SuperPad 3.1 improves the connection with SuperGIS Server 3 to make data synchronization more effective.

    User Interface Enhancement

    • To enhance the efficiency of data editing and collecting, SuperPad 3.1 improves the user interface and toolbar allocation. Therefore, users are able to achieve the task target with better efficiency.
    • To have the toolbar button display more clearly, SuperPad 3.1 adjusts the icon style and size so that users can choose the most suitable icon size for different mobile devices.

    Newly-Added SBAS Extension

    • The whole new SBAS extension supports to turn on SBAS function of mobile device to improve the accuracy of GPS data collection.
    Providing Custom Samples and Templates
    • A number of sample codes of extensions are provided; users can directly use the objects of SuperGIS Mobile Engine to design the GIS functions they need.
    • Microsoft Visual Studio templates for customizing GIS functions are provided so that users can customize SuperPad with ease.

    Improved Capability of Synchronizing SuperGIS Server Data

     

    • The capability of synchronizing the map data published by SuperGIS Server is improved. Thus, users can synchronize the data with SuperGIS Server while surveying outdoor.
