In version 1.4 of PRO iMapIt new features were introduced on screen Export Project.
See below.


The choice of file format existed, there you can choose from:

  • DXF - is a format read by most CAD software
  • KML - Is the presentation format Google Maps
The choice of coordinates type to be exported is a new feature. Now you can select the following options:
  • Geographic - geographical coordinates are collected directly from the iPhone or iPad's GPS, latitude and longitude. Geographical coordinates are coordinates that represent a point on the globe and are represented in degrees, minutes and seconds. In iMapIt geographical coordinates are represented in degrees and decimal fractions of a degree;
  • UTM - is a type of projection flat, converted from geographic coordinates. UTM is the abbreviation for Universal Transverse Mercator;
The Ellipsoid option offers different ways of calculating the projection as UTM following the Brazilian Coordinate Reference System.

In Axis option:
  • Latitude in X - Export coordinates with latitude on the X axis and longitude on the Y axis;
  • Latitude in Y - Export coordinates with latitude on the Y axis and longitude on the X axis;
The Send To option already existed and there you can choose from:
  • USB - Allows the exported file to be extracted from the iPhone / iPad through USB port, through iTunes file sharing option in the application iMapIt;
  • eMail - Allows the exported file to be sent via eMail;
The File Name option displays the default file name that is automatically generated by the application and allows it to be changed. The exported file will have that name.

These are the current export options. Any suggestions for improving the application are welcome.
