Open Shapefile, GeoPackage, FileGDB & ArcGIS layers offline.
Read full description
Mapwright opens your GIS files on your phone or tablet and takes your work into the field: no account of ours, no cloud, no subscription.
Open a Shapefile from an email, a File Geodatabase from a colleague or a public ArcGIS layer from a web address, and see it on a fast, clean map in seconds. Walk the site with GPS, check attributes, run a quick analysis, fill in a proper form, and send the data back in the format your desktop GIS expects.
OPEN THE FILES YOU ALREADY HAVE
• Shapefile (.shp with .dbf, .shx, .prj, or a zipped set)
• Esri File Geodatabase (zipped .gdb), read-only
• GeoPackage, KML and KMZ, GeoJSON, GPX, CSV with coordinates
• GeoTIFF rasters of any size, including elevation models
• MBTiles and PMTiles base maps
• Whole Mapwright projects shared by a colleague
ONLINE LAYERS, WHEN YOU WANT THEM
• Add a public ArcGIS feature or map layer by pasting its web address
• WMS, WMTS, WFS, OGC API Features and XYZ tile layers
• Keep a downloaded copy for offline work (Pro)
• Sign in to your own ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise account and send your edits back to your feature layers (Pro)
COORDINATES DONE PROPERLY
• Reads the coordinate system from .prj files, GeoPackages, geodatabases and GeoTIFFs and reprojects on the fly
• UTM zones, British National Grid, State Plane, Lambert-93, Gauss-Krüger, LV95, RD New and many more
• Positions as decimal degrees, DMS, UTM, MGRS or any projected system
• Tested against reference values from standard GIS tools
A MAP THAT WORKS IN THE FIELD
• Smooth vector base map in light and dark styles, downloadable for offline use
• Style by colour, categories, graduated classes (natural breaks, quantile, equal interval), proportional symbols or a heat map, with colour-blind-safe ramps
• GPS position with its real accuracy shown in metres
• Go to a point: live distance, bearing and stake-out offsets
• Elevation profiles for any line, with total climb and descent
LOOK INSIDE YOUR DATA
• Attribute table with sort, search and filter
• Ask in plain words: "height over 20", "type is bench or bin", "missing photo"
• Measure distances and areas on the ellipsoid, in metric or imperial, hectares or acres
PRO: ONE PAYMENT, YOURS TO KEEP
• Edit points, lines and polygons, move vertices, attach photos
• Smart forms: pick lists, required fields, defaults, ranges and conditional fields, carried into GeoPackage exports
• Quick capture: big buttons that drop a point with one tap, even with gloves on
• Geofence alerts when you enter, leave or stay in a zone
• Offline analysis: buffer, clip, intersect, union, difference, dissolve, select by location, points in polygons and summary statistics, measured on the ground
• Print the map to PDF or PNG with a title, legend, scale bar and north arrow
• Share a whole project as one file
• Average GPS fixes, record tracks, connect a Bluetooth GNSS receiver (Android)
• Export to Shapefile, GeoPackage, GeoJSON, KML/KMZ, GPX or CSV in the coordinate system you choose
• Unlimited layers and offline areas, no ads
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your files stay on your device. Mapwright has no account of its own and never uploads your data to us. It only contacts the map services you add yourself and, if you sign in, your own ArcGIS account.
