Cave Mapper

Transition from error-prone paper sketches to precise, structured digital surveying. Cave Mapper is a dedicated offline mapping application engineered for speleologists, cave explorers, and subterranean surveyors to record underground passages, log accurate path lengths, and generate ready-to-export maps directly in the field.

Core Features & Mapping Mechanics:

Structured Survey Entry: Replace paper notebooks in dark, humid environments. Log sequential station parameters with explicit input windows for manual Distance, Vertical Angle, and directional Heading tracked via the smartphone's built-in compass interface.

Versatile Survey Templates: Tailor your project framework before descending into a system. Initialize surveys using distinct templates shown in Cave Mapper (second app).mp4, including Simple Traverse, Multi-Branch, or comprehensive Room Network tracking layouts.

Automatic Plan Previews & Editing: Convert raw measurement legs into clear digital blueprints instantly. Use the system's specialized workspace tabs to cycle between Survey Entry, a dedicated Plan Editor, and your final configuration files to inspect or tweak the line layout.

100% Offline Functionality: Built strictly for underground conditions without a cellular network signal. All core functions, database systems, and drawing modules run entirely locally on the device, ensuring no feature fails due to a lack of internet.

Vector Document Export: Seamlessly package and export your finalized topographical data. Convert your underground maps into high-quality, standardized SVG or PDF files whenever your survey team is ready.

Project Logging & App Preferences:

Granular Survey Data: Organize your data directory cleanly. Create new entries by logging a mandatory Project Name, Cave Name, target execution date, the Team / Recorder credentials, and custom observation notes.

Measurement Calibration: Standardize your workshop inputs within the configurations menu. Set default measurement preferences to Meters for distance and Degrees for angle formats.

Rearing Safety & Visibility Controls: Toggle the Auto-save survey progress switch to guarantee data retention, or enable high-visibility High contrast mode tailored perfectly for use in low-light environments.

Workspace Sorting Modules: Keep track of your growing survey index effortlessly. Filter through your primary database using clean tab categories for All, Active, and Drafts projects.
