Measure Everything Faster
Click below to explore how ikeGPS delivers dramatic productivity benefits.
From a mobile GIS solution that uniquely integrates hardware
and software to provide game-changing capability.
Locate and measure everything, faster. With every ikeGPS capture:
- Locate (GPS) any point of interest from a remote position up to 1,000 meters away.
- Make real-time measurements of remote targets. Every measurement is geo-located and is burnt into the photograph to provide total verification.
- Capture 'TrueSize' photographs of any object. Then use ikeGPS software to easily make further complex measurements. For example measure attachments on a utility pole, generate instant CAD models in Power Line Systems software, or create exact scale, geo-located 3D models for SketchUp.
Complex Measurements Made Easy
With ikeGPS you can now easily measure anything – heights, widths, surface areas, clearances, attachment points, wire/bridge span heights and much more. This is thanks to the advanced but intuitive ikeGPS measurement and augmented reality software platform.
Each ikeGPS unit comes with the following ikeTools as standard equipment. Simply select one of the various tools from the icons on the ikeGPS screen:
Additionally with ikeSolutions you get special measuring tools that are useful for specific markets, The following ikeTools are available.
In the field or on a desktop computer back at the office, taking the measurements is as simple as it looks!
See how customers are using ikeGPS measurement capability in the utility and telecommunications industry to reduce costs by more than 50%.

Remote Data Capture
Means fast, safe and verifiable work practices.
Speed and safety are the core benefits of being able to capture location and measurement information without needing to be physically at the point of interest. Stay off the road, behind the legal boundary, on your side of the river, out of the ditch or simply out of sight. Locking together a verifiable image of every target is the icing on the cake.
With a single click ikeGPS captures:
- The target GPS position
- The distance to the target via the laser rangefinder
- The bearing and relative altitude of the object via a 3D compass
- A high resolution photo of the target, with cross hairs embedded in the image to verify the exact point of measurement
- Multiple data file types that integrate into ESRI, Google Earth and all other major mapping and backend systems
See why the US Army Corps of Engineers and US Military have deployed 100’s of ikeGPS to work quickly and stay safe in demanding environments.

Any Back End System.
Unlike a lot of other data capture devices, ikeGPS natively captures data in multiple common file types. Every data point captured by ikeGPS is stored as a jpeg file (with the Exif header populated), a KML file (for easy Google Earth integration) and a simple CSV file. ikeGPS captures Shapefiles for ESRI ArcPad and ArcGIS Mobile applications and works seamlessly with the other major GIS back end systems.
That means no proprietary software, no additional cost and no hassle to import data and images into your back end system.

Totally Integrated Hardware and Software
Means unique capability, lower cost and fewer errors.
The hardware components within ikeGPS include best-in-class laser rangefinder and 3D compass technologies; sub-meter GPS, 5MP digital camera with 10x zoom and a Windows mobile computer wrapped in an IP67, mil-spec tough chassis. These components are seamlessly integrated by ikeGPS software - software that also provides measurement capability that no other device can deliver. No one else integrates a unit like ikeGPS.
Any comparable system would typically comprise two or three pieces of equipment and require two or three manual steps in the field to capture a point. This often means less accuracy because of the offset error between the rangefinder, camera and GPS, and less than half the mean time between failure, resulting in both higher up front and total cost of ownership.
Most notably...
No other combination of devices in the market can provide the remote measurement capabilities of ikeGPS. This is enabled by the unique hardware integration and the powerful ikeGPS measurement software engine.
