Utilities can now be mapped immediately with one push of a button using the app, which seamlessly integrates locating and mapping technologies.
PERRY, OKLA., Jan. 30, 2025 – Contractors can now locate and map utilities more quickly and with fewer steps using the new Subsite® UtiliView™ utility mapping app. The free app allows users of the UtiliGuard® 2 RTK locator to send utility data directly to their Esri map, which requires an annual subscription, without needing to download data transfer or convert files – steps that until now have been required to map utilities. This streamlining of the mapping will save significant time on locate jobs.
Using the UtiliGuard 2 RTK locator, technicians can get survey grade, centimeter- accuracy of utility locations. The utility data they capture can then be instantly transferred to an Esri map via the UtiliView app with the single push of a button on the locator.
Once utility data is collected, it can be accessed from anywhere – like by a locate technician in the field or a GIS administrator in a back office – all while being securely stored in a private environment. Photos can also easily be added to log points in the UtiliView app for visual documentation and to create clearer, more complete records. And instant distance measurements can be generated to save time and improve record accuracy.
“The UtiliView app makes locate jobs easier and simpler to complete than ever, allowing users to add utility data to maps with one push of a button,” said Rodolfo Cabello, product manager for Subsite. “The app eliminates much of the hassle that can come with locating and mapping utilities, requiring fewer steps than any other solution on the market, so both administrators and those on the jobsite can work more efficiently.”
Subsite’s patent-pending Point Navigation feature allows UtiliView app users to effortlessly access and navigate to previously located points. This reduces guesswork and improves field efficiency. Historically, users have been required to connect their locate equipment to a PC and then manually find historical points and load them into the receiver. Now, they can retrieve those points in the field with just a few taps on their mobile device screen.
GIS administrators can set up the UtiliView app with a quick, one-time process. They can also add layers for gas, water, electric utilities and more. And they can make maps accessible with QR codes to promote uniformity across devices. Additionally, while some utility locators must be connected to a PC to be set up, the UtiliGuard RTK 2 locator can be ready to use as soon as the UtiliView app is downloaded on a mobile device.
The UtiliView app is available for Apple and Android devices. It can be downloaded from Google Play and the Apple Store.
