CartoDruid - GIS offline tool 0.62.9

CartoDruid is a GIS application created by the Instituto Tecnológico Agrario de Castilla y León (ITACyL), aimed at facilitating fieldwork by providing a solution for offline editing of georeferenced information.

In regions with limited mobile coverage, CartoDruid offers a dependable alternative, enabling users to visualize raster and vector layers stored on their devices. The application allows for the creation of new geometries by either drawing directly on the screen or utilizing embedded or external GPS capabilities.

Designed with user-friendliness in mind, CartoDruid does not necessitate prior GIS experience, simplifying the configuration and use for those managing fieldwork data. The application also supports exporting generated data for integration with external tools.

Key features of CartoDruid include:

• Visualization of online Google Maps.
• Utilization of vector cartography through a SpatiaLite database.
• Support for raster imagery sourced from a RasterLite database.
• Consumption of online WMS services.
• Creation and configuration of new layers directly on the device.
• Implementation of filtering, symbologies, labeling, and identification forms utilizing SQL queries.
• Editing of attributes along with manual geometry drawing capabilities.
• GPS-enabled drawing and editing of geometries.
• Advanced tools for geometry editing.
• Features for saving data, including georeferenced information and photo associations with entities.
• Additional utilities such as SIGPAC search, measurement tools, navigation aids, and bookmark management.
• Import and export options in various formats.
• Management of Table of Contents (TOC) and experimental support for SHP files.
• Layer operation controls.

CartoDruid employs background location services to create features based on location tracking while ensuring user data is utilized solely for generating geometry vertices or map positioning. All data remains stored locally on the device, with options available for project folder deletion to facilitate easy data management.
