1Spatial has extended the capability of its survey application, 1Edit, with increased support for photos and 2.5D data.

1Edit 3.1 enables users to attach feature photos, including automated geotagging, which enables surveyors to visualise assets and fine tune their observations.

The latest version now includes new validation functions and improved handling for Heights (2.5D data), typically useful for detailed asset and land management surveys.

Enhanced styling, including bitmap fills and dashed lines make it easier to identify and classify different asset types during surveys. Additional control of editable layers and fields provide protection for non-editable data and protects the quality of data. Significant improvements to rendering of thematic mapping, further enhances the speed and fluidity of the intuitive user interface.

1Edit now supports the storage of photographs as an attribute on a feature. The photos can be captured from the front or rear camera and are stored as a Label object. Photos captured during the survey are visible in the field and in the office as a useful reference for inspectors who are hybrid working.
