LEICA FieldLink uses the ESRI Shapefile format. This means you just copy your data directly from your GIS to FieldLink and start working. All forms for codelists are generated automatically from the data provided from your GIS.
You need geographically referenced data. But how do you acquire it? By adapting your work to fit in with someone else's software? LEICA FieldLink lets you tailor the software to suit the way you work, not vice-versa.

LEICA FieldLink uses the ESRI Shapefile format. This means you just copy your data directly from your GIS to FieldLink and start working. All forms for codelists are generated automatically from the data provided from your GIS.

Use any Leica Geosystems instrument to acquire the position data online. Design and implement your own forms for the input of features, symbols, lines and thematical data. (You can also select from the standard forms supplied). Then save your data directly in the ESRI Shapefile format or export it in one of the other widely used formats.

A full range of the most up to date, accurate and easy to use surveying instruments is at your service for data acquisition. FieldLink can be directly connected to the following surveying instruments

Use of ESRI MapObjects technology ensures reliability. Objects are quickly and easily selected by means of SQL requests. All data can be viewed online or offline, raster backdrops can be used as background information. Drawing and attribute definition can be carried out from points, lines and polygons.
