Earth Survey Mobile (ESMobile)
ESMobile is a collection of tools that run in Google Earth 6.2+ on an
Android device with OS 2.1+ or an Apple
iDevice. A WiFi or 4G Internet connection is recommended.
Earth Survey applications that were written for the desktop will not run
on a mobile device because of user interface, feature, and style differences.
The tools listed here are components from HCBM, NGSCS, PLSGE, and QUADS that have been
modified to run on a tablet or smartphone.
Unlike Android or iDevice apps, ESMobile tools are not installed. For best results,
open Google Earth and navigate to your area of interest first. Then open this webpage
in a mobile browser, tap the tool name, and choose to open the file in Google Earth.
If your browser does not offer a choice of apps, but instead opens the file in
another window, then long press the tool name, save the file on your device,
and open it with a KML-aware file manager.
City of Tampa Benchmarks (COTBM-m)
COTBM-m is a KML document
that plots the approximate location of City of Tampa benchmarks. Station balloons
contain all information supplied by the City of Tampa Survey Section source document.
See the HCBM web page to learn more about this layer.
Hillsborough County Benchmarks (HCBM-m)
HCBM-m is a KML document
that plots the approximate location of Hillsborough County benchmarks from the LABINS
database. All station balloons have links to the corresponding LABINS datasheet, and
stations with an NGS PID also have links to the NGS database.
See the HCBM web page to learn more about this layer.
NGS Control Stations (NGSCS-m)
Please be considerate of your fellow users and the National Geodetic
Survey's very limited resources. Avoiding unnecessary view changes and clearing the
map when not in use will help ensure the availability of this tool. Thank you.
NGSCS-m is a KML network link that plots the
approximate location of NGS control stations within the viewer bounding box.
(Rectangular Search). Station balloons contain all information
supplied by the NGS station list server and a link to the full NGS datasheet.
See the NGSCS web page to learn more about this layer.
Public Land Survey System (PLSS-m)
PLSS-m is a KML network link that plots multiresolution images of
the Public Land Survey System from the BLM GeoCommunicator map service.
See the PLSGE web page to learn more about this layer.
USGS Quadrangle Index (QUADS-m)
QUADS-m is a KML network link that plots approximate USGS quadrangle
boundaries and provides direct access to more than 125,000 GeoPDF maps, including scans of
the last historical paper map at all available scales. All quadrangle balloons contain name,
state, extent, date, and file size information with a link to the corresponding GeoPDF map.
See the QUADS web page to learn more about this layer.
USGS Topo Maps (TOPO-m)
TOPO-m is a KML network link that plots multiresolution images of
USGS topographic-bathymetric quadrangle maps from the National Geographic TOPO! series.
See the QUADS web page to learn more about this layer.
