Get back the hours your crew loses at 6pm. Your Field Journal builds itself in the field.
ZiaMap is the field documentation platform for land surveyors. GPS-tagged photos and a chronological Field Journal, signed on site and synced to the office. Built by a PLS with thirty years in the field.
GET BETA ACCESSDocument the field as it happens.
Notes written twice. Photos scattered across phones. The office rebuilding context the crew already had on site. That is the gap ZiaMap closes.
ZiaMap is the field documentation platform built for the way crews actually work. Your crew captures GPS-tagged photos and structured notes in the Field Journal, on the phone already in their pocket. The office sees it the moment they have signal.
It works offline. It captures with gloves on. It works alongside the Trimble gear and CAD your crew already runs. Every record carries the location, the time, and the crew member who took it.

THE REALITY OF SURVEYING DOCUMENTATION
Surveyors are expected to produce a complete record long after the field crew leaves.
HANDWRITTEN
Paper field books degrade. Weather destroys them. Pages fall out. Handwriting fades.
INCONSISTENT
Different crews capture different things. Different days produce different records.
SCATTERED
Photos on phones. Notes on paper. Sketches in folders. None of it connected.
See the hours your crew loses to end-of-day paperwork.
Return trips, photo admin, note cleanup after dark. Put in your firm's numbers and see what it costs you in a year. No signup to see it.
RUN THE NUMBERSBuilt for Surveyors.
The ZiaMap mobile app captures the way field crews actually work. No methodology designed for rugged environments.
A Day in the Field, Documented as It Happens
One boundary survey on a Tuesday, from the first monument to the drive home.
7:00 AM · Crew Arrives
The first monument gets photographed, not sketched. Pinned to the exact coordinate, stamped with the time, with a short note riding along.
Morning · Walking the Line
Every corner, every encroachment, every fence that crosses where it should not. Photo, location, note. The Field Journal builds itself in order.
Midday · Restake on Site
A restake request comes in on the construction side. The crew processes it on site and the inspector signs on the phone. The office has the signed ticket.
Back of the Parcel · No Signal
No coverage in the back half. Does not matter. ZiaMap holds everything on the device and syncs the moment a signal comes back.
3:00 PM · Off the Clock
The crew leaves. The office already has every photo, note, and signature, organized by project. Nobody transcribes a field book at 6pm.
CLOSE THE TICKET BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE SITE
Process restake requests and field tickets on site. Collect the signature before you pack up. The signed record is in the office before you start the drive back.
ON-SITE SIGNATURE COLLECTION
Get construction inspectors or clients to sign off on your device while you are still standing on the site. Formal approval collected before you leave.
PHOTO-DOCUMENTED RE-WORK REQUESTS
Attach photos directly to your restake or re-work request. What you saw when you were there, attached to the ticket, submitted before you leave.
FIELD-TO-OFFICE SYNC
Submit the signed ticket and the office has it. No data entry step. No manual hand-off. No delay between site and desk.
LOCATION-STAMPED RECORDS
Every submitted ticket captures precise location and timestamps. Records your firm can stand behind at billing time.
SIGNED ON SITE. PROCESSED BEFORE YOU GET BACK TO THE OFFICE.

Field Documentation, Answered
What is the best app for survey field notes?
The best tool is the one your crew will actually use with gloves on. ZiaMap is a field documentation platform built for survey crews: GPS-tagged photos, structured notes, and a chronological Field Journal, captured on the phone already in their pocket and synced to the office automatically.
How do surveyors document field work?
Traditionally with paper field books, camera-roll photos, and hand sketches that the office reassembles later. ZiaMap replaces that with one record. The crew captures photos and notes tied to a location and a time, and the office sees it in real time, organized by project.
Can ZiaMap replace a paper field book?
Yes. ZiaMap captures the same observations, monuments, conditions, and ties, then adds the location, the timestamp, and the crew member automatically. Nothing to transcribe, nothing to lose to weather.
Does ZiaMap work offline on remote survey sites?
Yes. Crews capture everything offline. Photos, notes, and signatures hold on the device and sync the moment a signal comes back. Built for sites that do not come with coverage.
What survey types does ZiaMap support?
ALTA / NSPS, boundary, construction, topographic, and as-built work, plus any specialty through custom field codes and the NSPS reference library. Documentation is organized by project, so high-volume firms keep every job separate.
Can survey crews collect signatures in the field?
Yes. Inspectors or clients sign on the device while the crew is still on site. The signed ticket reaches the office before the drive back, so approvals are not waiting on a Monday.
How does field data get from the crew to the office?
Automatically. When the crew has signal, every photo, note, and signature syncs to the office, organized by project. No data entry step, no manual hand-off.
Is ZiaMap built for small survey firms?
Yes. Per-firm pricing, no enterprise contracts, no multi-year lock-in, and nothing to learn that does not help in the field. Built for firms that need professional documentation without enterprise overhead.
