UtiliMapper running on a Trimble GNSS handheld connects via bluetooth to a variety of pipe and cable locators.  This allows for a multitude of uses including: Utility Infrastructure Mapping, Depth of Cover Surveys, Centerline Surveys, Locate Markouts, One Call Updates, GIS Accuracy Assessments, and much more.  You can now stream all of your locate information directly into Utilimapper via a bluetooth connection. Additionally, UtiliMapper supports multiple lines per job. Keep track of Alert interval, station value, depth of cover and Line ID uniquely with each line without having to create independent jobs. The new version also supports a PODS database model, with multiple feature relation back to the collected location. Additionally, Utilimapper users who choose to use the inspection module get a pre-created PODS compatible Physical inspection template.
