ChangelogWhat changed in Epoch, Mapdesk and Caster

May 20, 202626.05.13

Reorder layers in the Mapdesk app

You can now press and hold a layer in the Mapdesk app and drag it to change the draw order on the map, with haptic feedback as you move it.

May 19, 202626.05.12

Drag layers to reorder them on the map

You can now drag layers in the map sidebar to change their draw order, and the map updates at once. In the Mapdesk app, you can set a pole height for a session and it is applied to each captured point.

May 18, 202626.05.11

Place points by clicking on the map

You can now start pick mode from the command box and click the map to place points. Clicks snap to existing points and line vertices, and you can set an elevation and description for the points you place.

May 17, 202626.05.10

Add .pmtiles tile files to the map

You can now upload a .pmtiles tile file and add it to a project's map in one click. It is already a tile set, so it skips georeferencing.

May 16, 202626.05.9

Run survey calculations from the command box

The map's command box now covers most desktop survey work: imports and exports, COGO, transforms, point management, save and load, and a deliverable PDF. Calculations run in the project coordinate system.

May 14, 202626.05.8

Import header-less CSV and KML from a link

CSV files with no header row now import in the usual point, easting, northing, elevation layouts. The column picker labels them Column 1, Column 2 and so on instead of treating the first row as headings.

May 13, 202626.05.7

Set a project coordinate system and run COGO

You can now set a coordinate system for a project and run COGO calculations such as inverse, intersection and traverse from the command box. CSV and DXF imports use the project coordinate system automatically.

May 12, 202626.05.6

Import CSV, KML, Shapefile and DXF files

You can now drag CSV, KML, KMZ, Shapefile and DXF files onto the map. Imports arrive as drafts that you review and then publish to the project.

May 8, 202626.05.5

See project layers on the map

You can now open a project as a map in the browser and see its layers and georeferenced plans over satellite imagery, the same way they appear in the Mapdesk app.

May 5, 202626.05.4

Sharper georeferenced plans at full zoom

Georeferenced PDFs are now rendered at a resolution chosen from their control points, up to 1200 DPI, so linework stays sharp when you zoom all the way in.
