Description
Theodolite 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 9.0.2 adds options for two compass sensor algorithms in PREFS > Advanced. "More Robust" (default) is a new option intended for general use in a variety of environments, including locations with moderate electromagnetic interference. It was implemented in response to more and more customers attempting to use the compass in marginal situations. "More Sensitive" (previous default) uses 3D vector components of magnetic field to give higher fidelity measurements, but should only be used in clean electromagnetic environments. With either option, be mindful of local compass sensor accuracy, shown by tapping any of the green/red dots on the viewfinder screen.

ATTENTION IOS 8 USERS: When Theodolite launches in iOS 8 for the first time, iOS puts up a dialog asking you to give the app permission to access the camera. Many people are mistakenly clicking "no", which causes Theodolite to display a black camera view or simply not launch. If you have denied permission to access the camera, you can override this in System Settings > Privacy > Photo. This permission dialog is from iOS, not Theodolite, so please direct further feedback about this to Apple.

Great ap for construction and mapping
This is a great app, let me share an example; a small city i was employed at had just resurfaced most of the asphalt roads. I got a call from the boss about some truck leaking hydraulic fluid on our newly surfaced roadways. If you dont know hydraulic fluid is like a solvent for asphalt and creates holes and ultimately will lead to a failure in the road surface if the fluid leaks enough.
It was not long before i picked up the trail of the culprit, a local garbage truck , caught up to the driver of the leaky truck and informed him he was leaking hydraulic fluid and made him turn off his hydraulic unit and go back to his shop and to inform his boss of the occurrence. It wasn’t long before his boss contacted me and argued with me about the extent of the damages. I provided a map of the trucks route and pictures with times, gps locations. Argument over, but the boss wanted to know how i recorded this stuff. Showed him the ap and i think ,he’s a customer too. I know all the guys on my engineering staff purchased this ap and use it to record all kinds of data, great ap

This is my favorite app. I most recently used it to find a Forest fire that had gotten within 3.1 miles of us. I took photographs at various places in the burnt area and then plotted the location on a Quadrangle map.
But my main use is to record the location of petroglyphs in remote ( and not so remote sites) in the far west of the U.S. And Canada. Of course in some places satellite connection cannot be made but most of the time it can be. Not only do I get the time and the longitude and latitude and elevation, but also the azimuth. This latter is important because by adding 180 degrees to the reading I can tell what direction the petroglyph is facing. By placing a measuring graphic near the subject the theodolite photo also displays the size of the petroglyph. The theodolite record is redundant because I usually take more photographs with
a camera, which includes the time and sometimes the coordinates, but never the azimuth or elevation. This along with iPhone Notebook allows me to travel lighter and scramble in the rocks more safely.

Feraltech,
Excellent tool for navigation and documenting important places
This app is both fun and useful. If you ever need to show exactly where something is, or show that you did that job out in the back forty, this app will provide a photo which includes all the information you can possibly imagine- exact latitude and longitude, bearing, altitude, time, date, inclination in 3 dimensions. In principle someone else could very nearly stand in your exact footprints to see the scene, based on the photo.
Another useful function is as a Sight Level. I put some bright tape on a tree or the side of the house at my eye level. Using this app I can move around and if I can see the tape I can tell within an inch or so my elevation relative to the tape. This helps with landscaping my yard, for example.
So if you are a contractor, forester, or investigator, this would do a nice job for you.
I use this app with Boy Scouts, not only for a handy compass bearing, but also for questions like, “If that tree were to fall, would it hit my tent?” (Hint: 45 degree vertical inclination). Or, “How side is that river?” (Classic map & compass exercise.)
I cannot evaluate the accuracy of the measurements (apps are notorious for displaying way more accuracy than they really can achieve), but they seem good for my purposes. If you have a boat with good navcom, check the accuracy and let us know!
I use it a lot and like it a great deal, and yes, it IS a great deal at this price!

Fascinating application
Theodolite Pro is a fascinating application showcasing some of the abilities the iPhone is capable of. Whether playing around and curiously experimenting, or seriously putting your iPhone to work, it's surprising to find quite a few uses limited only by one's imagination.
So far the application has worked flawlessly and been extremely accurate.
Great job!!
This app would be a great gift to a student learning geometry, or an outdoors person with a curious nature, or just someone who likes to experiment. I've seen lots of articles and apps about compasses , levels, protractors , and similar devices. None that I have read about or used can match Theodolite.
Additionally, Theodolite is a well thought out app with a great user manual. I haven't had an issue or crash using Theodolite on a 3GS, 4S, and 6 Plus on their various IOS versions. This is one app that will stay on my device.

Fun for the map-minded casual explorer
Really enjoying the app. Uses for me include designing multi-stage geocaches where I need bearing and distance between points for the stages. Also was walking on the beach and was curious how far away a cell tower was, and the A-B feature made it easy to triangulate and see the estimated position on the map. The controls feel really responsive (for example the zoom in/out) and the UI is clear and easy to use. Love the translucent pillar that appears in the viewfinder to show you the location of the current active map point, and how it changes to a planted flag when you get closer. Also super easy to share out coords by copying the text-based log or by generating an email with coords and tagged photo. AR planet layer is neat, and I like how putting crosshairs on a planet causes a name label to appear.
ezucker,
Just what I was looking for
I’ve been searching for an app to help me plan photographing the solar eclipse on 10 June 2021. I need an app that will tell me accurate and precisely what the azimuth of various features so I can determine exactly where the Sun will rise. This app does that.
The key to the accuracy is that this app allows you to manually calibrate the app to a known azimuth, such as the sun. And your can turn off the accelerometer and rely upon just the more accurate gyroscope for maintaining accuracy over a short period of time.
The display of the app is remarkable. I am extremely impressed by the work the developer has put into this app and his other apps.

bbobbzz,
Great app!
I’ve had this app for quite a while and love it. It has a lot of information all brought together in a handy way. I use while hiking using it and my USGS 7.5 minute topo maps (or the Topo Map app). It uses the iPhone camera, so I often take a couple of pictures with it to help orient me when I’m traveling or taking photos in unfamiliar territory. It’s a survey and navigation tool and has a lot of data on each picture, not designed to replace your camera. I have not had any issues with it, and it’s GPS and compass correlate well with the GPS and compass on the iPhone and the Topo Maps app.
ThreeZeroThree,
Perfect for Construction Tracking
I am an ITS and Tolling assessor representing the Colorado Department of Transportation and I use this app daily for tracking project progress. I am constantly taking photos of different job sites and don’t always have time to add them into PlanGrid that second. I used to have problems remembering where the photos were taken or even what they were taken for so to have the information imbedded into the photos is very helpful and very useful. Many of the other construction managers I work with now use Theodolite daily to track progress also. Thanks Theodolite!
geo_15-1,
Great for work
I’m a geologist and I use this app for work. I switched from Solocator because the image overlays look less cluttered and more professional with Theodolite. Solocator has similar features but altogether this app functions better (Solocator is goofy with phone rotation too).
The only thing that would make Theodolite even better would be if there was more control over which data are included in the overlay. For example, I might want to exclude altitude, elevation angle, horizon angle and zoom but retain azimuth, Lat/Lon and date/time in some cases.

A beginner's view
Theodolite does a lot of stuff, more than I've had time to learn about so far. Currently I use it to photograph invasive plants, and can email the photo with coordinates to someone else, or to my own machine at work. One hitch--it worked for a while, but then I stopped receiving the emails. Turns out they were hung up in the iPhone mail outbox. Just select and resend. I look forward to learning about the other features as I get a chance. I haven't checked the coordinates against a handheld GPS yet, but it is accurate enough for my use.
