Mapdesk isn't an app. It's a complete field-precision stack — software, hardware, and the connective tissue between them. Stiple builds and supports every layer, so the data flows end-to-end without integration tax.
Native on every device — phone, tablet, field or desk.
Prepare on the web. Sync from the field.
Survey-grade GNSS, Stiple-tuned.
Your own correction source.
Bidirectional corrections, over WebSocket.
One native app for phone and tablet — use it in the truck, on the pole, or at your desk. Pairs with your Stiple rover over Bluetooth, captures points at survey-grade accuracy, and streams everything into your Labs project as you go.
Mapdesk lives inside Stiple Labs. The same browser your team uses for point clouds becomes the prep desk for tomorrow's field work — and the live dashboard for today's.
Stage georeferenced datasets, control points, and crew-by-crew task assignments before anyone leaves the office.
Field captures stream back in real time. Every surveyor and PM sees the same truth — no end-of-day uploads.
Stiple-issued RTK rover hardware, tuned by us end-to-end. We ship it, we support it, and it's ready to fix on day one — no procurement headaches, no firmware rabbit holes, no vendor finger-pointing.
Proven, GLONASS-capable, the legacy workhorse.
Next-gen u-blox engine. Galileo OSNMA anti-spoof.
Professional-grade with full GLONASS for Canadian operations.
Your own RTK base, set up where you need it. Stand it on a known point, hit power, and your crews are receiving corrections minutes later. No third-party subscriptions, no coverage gaps, no monthly per-rover fees.
The Stiple-built service that ties bases to rovers. Bases push corrections, rovers receive them, and the office sees who is connected and where — one moving piece, fully managed.
A field day on Mapdesk follows the same loop every time. Predictable for the office. Repeatable for the crew.
Office prepares georeferenced datasets, control points, and task assignments on the Mapdesk web extension inside Labs.
Field crews launch the native app, pair their Stiple rover over BLE, and the NTRIP caster delivers RTK corrections.
Navigate to targets at mm–cm precision. Capture, stake out, or layout — everything tied to live server data.
Before packing up, review the day's work on-device. Flag and remove outliers in the field, not back at the office.
Field captures stream back in real time. The office sees results instantly. Tomorrow's work prepared tonight.
Mapdesk replaces a stack of disconnected single-purpose tools with one connected workflow. A few of the jobs it's built for:
Stake out anchor bolts, embeds, and column lines at mm precision.
Connected field capture with live QA — no batch upload at end of day.
Compare live captures to design models on the same screen.
Locate subsurface features with centimeter-grade positioning.
Real-time cut/fill tracking against earthwork budgets.
Catch errors before leaving site — not weeks later in the office.
Mapdesk research started in 2015 alongside Stiple's first field projects. A decade of internal use, refined every season. Public release coming soon.
Mapdesk ships as a complete system — software, rover, base, and corrections, bundled and supported by Stiple. Talk to us about a deployment for your team.
