What is iGIS? iGIS is a mobile GIS solution that enables users to load, view, investigate, create, and export their own data over a background of map service imagery. It is the world's first and leading iOS GIS that offers true GIS functionality on the iPhone. The app allows users to import data easily using a unique data import facility and supports raster data in many formats and ESRI Shapefiles. The spatial data is stored on the iPhone, so there's no need for an internet connection to see the data. The app includes support for multiple layers of points, lines, and polygons, all styled as per the user's preference.



Software Features and Description

  • A work in progress that is well worth the money

    By lavalampfloyd (Pcmac user)

    For anyone who has GIS data they would like to display on an iphone this is the app. Their data upload is very slick. Initially I had difficulty getting the projection that we use at work to execute, but the support was very responsive and I was able to get it going in short order. For those who use WGS84, you will have no difficulties. Since I bought it there have been several good updates and the developers seem to be actively upgrading the app. Hopefully they will continue to add more options for symbology and labeling. Some of the earlier comments indicate difficulty with exported shapefiles and the like. I too ran into a problem with one shapefile, but I sent it to the developer and they found the problem and updated the app. (FYI: I work on a water distribution system and the program easily handled 14 different point and line shapefile sets, each with 1,000 to 6,000 features (I did use zoom levels to help with performance.))
  • Mixed feelings about new release

    By McCain's (Pcmac user)

    I've been loving the app and have bragged about its versatility. I use it everyday, all day in my work truck doing field work and in the office. All of my apple devices have it. My primary device is my 4th gen iPad with cellular. The app crashed frequently, especially when changing data settings. That was ok because I knew the update was coming. The phone version made me really excited because of the new map gestures and google maps. However the iPad app has been very frustrating. Constant crashing, lethargic map loading, and the failure of the zoom scale have plagued my device. The phone app has not crashed as often and is faster on the map loading. However the zoom scale is still dead. Hope you guys get this fixed! A little heads up on future fixes would be nice!
  • Finally GIS on the iPhone

    By Makisupa7 (Pcmac user)

    Just bought this app a couple days ago. I've imported a few shapefiles from work and they all have worked so far. I have a few suggestions. Work on symbology for multiple categories in each shapefiles. Allowing imports of layers would help with this. A more intuitive table of contents for layer adjustment, toggling and symbolism would be great. Create a toolbar for Id, measure, area, and selection. An option for attribute selection and export of selection as shp would be ideal. A toolbar with some simple analysis tools such as buffer, union, and intersect would make this a more practical program. Also, last but not least an editor feature that allows for polygon and line editing and feature creation as well as attrribute field editing would be awesome. This is a lot to ask for in a handheld GIS app, but I am looking forward to new updates. So far I'm quite impressed with this. You can't beat it for $20!!
  • Best GIS app on the iPhone

    By PeerGynt78 (Pcmac user)

    Love this app, I use it everyday for work. There are some features I'd love to see added, such as a measurement tool. However the things I'd want to see added would only be minor improvements to a great app. I've been more than happy to replace a huge non-dynamic map book or a bulky Trimble with my iPhone.
