About

My name is Prajuab Riabroy a developer of Surveyor Pocket Tools. I am a professional survey engineer from Thailand. The types of surveys I have performed and overseen include geodetic control, topographic, bathymetric and construct staking. I have experiences more than 20 years in this field. In additional to my hobby, I have been developing several survey applications, especially the "Surveyor Pocket Tools". The several small, compact and very useful tools for surveyor. It's a gratis application freely usable.

Why to use Surveyor Pocket Tools?

Surveyor Pocket Tools is developed by surveyor for surveyor and has many features to offer:

Easy to Use

Easy to install with all required features available. All tools are very small & compact and easy to use. There is a small database designed to keep your coordinates and restore back every time you need.

Pin to Map

Easy to pin your geodetic & projected coordinates to Google Maps or save as KML file and open on Google Earth.

Basic to Advance

Calculate area, Coordinates conversion, Transform coordinates, Calculate geodesic distance, Great circle distance, Geoid height, Point scale factor, Line scale factor.

Freeware

It's absolutely free of charge.

Services

Update: Display Google Maps (Impact of Google Maps API policy)

The impact of rise in price (up to 1400%) of Google Maps API since July 16, 2018 made me find another solution to display Google Maps in my desktop application. Even if the “Surveyor Pocket Tools” is freeware and absolutely free of charge but I cannot pay to Google in any cases.

Impact of Google Maps API policy shown “For development purpose only”

Fortunately, Google offers the free of charge if the developers with an app or website using but not exceed the limit of 25,000 maps views per day. I think the “Surveyor Pocket Tools” are using by a very small group of users so it should not exceed this limit. Finally, I created a billing account and hand-over my credit card information to Google to get API Key.

In old version, I used system web browser to display Google Maps, for example, Edge, Chrome or Firefox, to open the local html file which created by my application. But now I have to input Google API Key so I cannot use local html file anymore regarding to someone can read my API Key.

Every tool uses Google Maps to pin point.

This application is developed with PySide2 framework so I looked up the tool to display web page and found QtWebEngineView to meet my requirements. All the tools in “Surveyor Pocket Tools” using Google Maps were implemented QtWebEngineView for this purpose so nobody should not see my API Key.
