Theodolite HD Customer Service
Theodolite HD is a multi-function viewfinder that combines a compass, two-axis inclinometer, rangefinder, GPS, map, nav calculator, and geo-overlay photo/movie camera into one indispensable app. Theodolite was one of the very first augmented reality (AR) apps when it was released in 2009, and it’s been downloaded and used by millions of customers since then. Uses are endless, and the app is great for land measurements, outdoor sports, sightseeing, navigation, and finding your way around. Theodolite is a pro grade app and is used extensively by surveyors, geologists, architects, engineers, competitive sportsmen, first responders, military personnel, and search and rescue workers around the world.
Theodolite lets you take data-overlay photos and movies with 2X-8X zoom. Overlay geographical data, angle markings, date/time, author/company info, and project notes directly on photos and movies for later reference. The same data is written into the metadata record of images, making image files self-contained data records. Third-party apps can tap into Theodolite's advanced camera functions with a camera sharing feature.
View current position on the built-in map with optional offline Outdoors maps that include topo contours, roads, trails, landmarks, campgrounds, ski lifts, and more. Live map markers continually update distance/heading relative to the current location and also show wayfinding info in the main viewfinder. Draw polygons on the map to mark things like property boundaries and trails, and import/export polygon data via KML.
Share map markers and nav calculator points with other users of Theodolite via text messages or e-mail. This powerful capability opens up a wide range of collaborative uses including team land surveying, accident investigations, spotting wild fires, triangulation of landmarks, and advanced tactical observation and targeting. With an optional in-app purchase to enable team tracking, you can share location with up to 20 people on Theodolite's map.
Theodolite includes features for serious users like a reference angle mode, nav calculator, map marker import/export, manual and automatic data logging with CSV and KML export, clipboard integration, %grade display, mil compass readout, optical rangefinders (including a mil-based reticle, sniper-style stadiametric graphs, and a variable 4X-24X scope), and night filters to improve use in dark conditions.
Theodolite can provide location in military grid reference system (MGRS) coordinates, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates, British/Irish National Grids, US National Grid, Maidenhead locator system, Map Grid of Australia, and six latitude/longitude formats. Optional US State Plane coordinates include SPCS27 and SPCS83 zones covering all US States. The optional Datum Pack adds over 230 geodetic datums to the app to improve position computation from GPS data, covering regions and countries on all continents around the world.
AR Layers include navigational aids like the sun, moon, planets, and Polaris (North star), and the optional US Mountain Summits layer that shows over 70,000 US mountain summits in the viewfinder.
Theodolite has been shown in Apple Keynotes, featured on the App Store, and has been a #1 selling Navigation app in App Stores around the world. Since its introduction in 2009, Theodolite has defined augmented reality navigation. The app continually introduces new technologies, pushing the limits of iOS app development and taking advantage of new hardware capabilities.
Find out why Apple named Theodolite one of the most amazing apps available and showed it being used to explore the Great Wall of China. Where will you take it on your next adventure?

Theodolite HD App Comments & Reviews
Theodolite HD Positive Reviews
Genealogy ToolWe use Theodolite to take pictures of cemetery headstones and other family history sites to augment our family history information. The imprinted information helps others locate historical site more accurately rather than from notes like near the big tree, near a gate, along the third driveway, etc. Since most cellphones have GPS capabilities, a Theodolite picture can help someone find a relevant place more easily. Also, as the chairman of a small cemetery, I take a picture of each headstone and place that picture in the plot file. Now I can respond to an inquiry with a photo that has the location information. Thank you to the folks who make Theodolite, what a great tool..Version: 6.1.2
Great App, but offline maps are very expensiveI've always liked this app for site survey of local obscura and the like. Since they added the offline map function I thought it would be a great hiking add (like a GPS). I like using my iPad as a GPS even though I know its big. the large screen is really nice for looking at the local terrain. The capability to download offline maps is very attractive so I bought 100,000 tile credits for $15 to download maps for hiking. I defined the area of one local park/hiking are to download and found that 100,000 tiles was not enough! I did a test and found I need about 10 tiles just to cover an area the size of my house and yard. A fine app but does not make dollars and sense for the average hiker. For $100 I can buy detailed maps for my GPS that cover NM, AZ, UT, and CO. At Theodolite prices, $100 would buy offline maps for about 1 county.Version: 5.0
Even if you’re not a surveyorFirst of all, this app has a beautifully executed and intuitive user interface. IMO, everybody, even if they never leave the city, need to know the basics of how to use a map and compass. If a 12 year old Boy Scout can, so can you. It might even save your life one day. This tool is so easy and pleasant to use that practically anyone who took middle school geometry will know how to use it without even looking at the help. But “what use could I possibly have for it ?” you ask. Look around, you’ll see. If nothing else it’s a fun way to help a kid understand geometry, which is essential knowledge, like knowing how to add and subtract..Version: 9.0.3
One Amazing piece of kit!I bought this my Nav App back when it was iPhone 4 and it’s always one of the first apps I download now. If you’ve ever wanted to get your bearings, this is THE go to app. Easy to use, and packed with features ensure you won’t get lost, or can pinpoint that particular spot repeatedly. Take multiple readings to find that specific point in 3D space. I dream that one day this interface will be overlaid with the interface for FILMic Pro to make an advanced professional camera for Cinema shooting..Version: 6.1.2
TheodoliteI have had this app for several years and they keep upgrading it and making it even better. We have used it many times. Example making gold mine boundaries, or finding property lines, or getting info for earth excavation, or seeing if something is horizontal. It has proved very accurate and well worth keeping on the pad/phone. I can not say enough about my joy using this app. Makes many jibes very easy..Version: 6.1
SuggestionLove the app. Use it for photography scouting on iPad. Please update and include user definable film frame that can simulate various lens focal lengths and chip or film sizes. Right now it is just wide angle and it would be so much more helpful for simulations. The pictures could be used for story boarding feature films as well. Right now I want to simulate a location shoot for a year away of a total eclipse of the sun that includes a unique landscape as the foreground..Version: 5.0
Pretty good for what it isI'm not I. The habit of writing reviews , in fact I think this is my second one . The app is pretty good for what it is , however I have one underlying complaint the in app purchases chiefly buying tiles . The state plane coordinates I can understand, the amount of tiles necessary to do even the simplest task is Too outrageous. Cmon guys . Really . Yes I understand it takes time and money to produce a worthwhile app but you could up the amount of tiles needed to cover a decent survey grid .then I would give you 5 stars ..Version: 5.0
Great appThere are too few apps that live up to the quality of this one. To the developers, thank you. I hope you can keep pace with all the iOS updates. Thank you all! Keep the fine work up. Should you choose to expand into some elaborate audio recording that joins the video recording it could greatly expand the abilities and usefulness of the excellent application..Version: 6.1
Theodolite - Outstanding AppBeen using this at sea for the past several years and am always impressed. Can be used for celestial navigation finding gyro error. Debating whether or not to request a speed readout or not, but that may cause too much clutter on the display and not needed for terrestrial navigation or surveying. All in all a great app..Version: 5.0
Excellent !I'm a geologist and I've been using this on both my iPhone and iPad since it first came out. It's excellent! I use it in the field all of the time to document projects as well as perform basic surveying. The updates are timely and the speed to take the screenshots is great. Oh and I also use this when I go hiking and camping..Version: 5.0
Theodolite ReviewI’m an attorney. It’s a magnificent site to take pictures with absolute proof of where, when and all possible specifics of the shot. If I have one tiny issue, it’s that occasionally the camera is upside down and won’t flip. It may be the iPad’s fault and not Theodolite’s; but I can live with that..Version: 6.1
Great AppAs I travel quite a bit, just being able to check out the ‘Altitude’ on a moments notice, as well as documenting your location is really handy- Also, being able to transmit my location to my friends is important to me!.Version: 6.1

Well worth it!I am an application developer and this is the only application that I have purchased for my iPad.

Celestial navigatorUsed this app for celestial navigation, running fix on the Moon and Jupiter, one shot on Aldebaran. Error only 28 miles to SW, less than 1/2 Degree. Would be better in non light polluted area with more practice. (Second try): 17 mile error to SSW, running fix on Moon and Jupiter..Version: 6.0

Superb appSince finding Theodolite I have used it more than the device camera, each photo has a wealth of useful reference data which comes in handy when writing up your field notes If you work outdoors it's a must have app.Version: 6.0
A fantastically useful app, but...... I am surprised that there are separate versions to purchase for the iPhone and iPad. I have made great use of this app on my iPad mini, and finally moving to an iPhone was disappointed that this was the only app of many that did not come over to the new device without purchasing it a second time. If, for whatever reason, there were capability differences between the platforms, I would understand, but it seems they are identical. This is the sole reason that I did not rate this as five stars ( and would give it six for the unique abilities it has), and would happily change it from four to five if the two versions were sync he'd together..Version: 5.0

Know where you were and whenThat ability to store geo tagged photos which includes elevation and compass bearing has been transformational in the construction industry.
