Description of SW Maps - GIS & Data Collector

SW Maps is a free GIS and mobile mapping app for collecting, presenting and sharing geographic information.
Whether you are conducting a full scale GNSS survey with high precision instruments, need to collect large amount of location based data using nothing but your phone, or just need to view a few shapefiles with labels over a background map on the go, SW Maps has it all covered.
Record points, lines, polygons and even photos and have them displayed over your choice of background map, and attach custom attribute data to any feature. Attribute types include text, numbers, an option from a predefined set of choices, photos, audio clips and videos.
Conduct high accuracy GPS surveys using external RTK capable receivers over Bluetooth or USB Serial.
Draw features on the map by adding markers, and measure distance and area.
Reuse the layers and attributes of a previous project for another survey, or create templates and share them with other users.
Share the collected data with other users as Geopackages, KMZ or shapefiles, or export them to your device storage. Also share and export recorded data as Spreadsheets (XLS/ODS) or CSV files.

    Hi, I'm a user of U-Blox ZED-F9P RTK receiver and trying using SW Maps as for as NTRIP client. There is no problem when I connect the receiver via bluetooth. Also it can be connected with our national NTRIP caster. But when I checked the rover position through the NTRIP caster portal (website), the latitude position of rover was wrong, while the longitude was correct. The latitude position should be in S (south), but detected as N (North). So I can't reach fix solution for that. Please help

    Its a great open-source mapping utility, but i was unable to export my data, all the CSV and XLS format were corrupted or either too long to export like more than days once finished exporting the data were unable to be opened. Im looking forward to use this as a daily driver for a mapping database. **update : I am unable to export, share option shows to process/progress
