Map Assets Without Having to Physically Occupy Them
Eos is excited to bring you the world’s first laser mapping solution for Esri’s ArcGIS apps. The Eos Laser Mapping™ solution is for field crews that need to map hard-to-occupy assets with 3D, survey-grade accuracy — without having to physically stand on top of every single point. This is great when the assets you need to collect are located in environments that are either GNSS-impaired (with poor line-of-sight to positioning satellites), or in areas that are difficult and dangerous to reach. Eos Laser Mapping is currently available for iPad® and iPhone® as a free solution, in conjunction with our partnerships between Esri and Laser Technology (LTI).
Key Benefits of Eos Laser Mapping™
Increase Accuracy and Efficiency
Eos Laser Mapping lets a technician stand hundreds of meters away from his target, while collecting it with submeter or centimeter accuracy.
Keep Crews Safer
Keep your crews safer when they can map assets, such as a manhole located in a busy street intersection, from a safe distance away.
Choose From 3 Mapping Methods
With three laser mapping methods to choose from, you can pick the workflow that provides the greatest combination of mobility and efficiency.
What Are The 3 Eos Laser Mapping Methods?
Choose From 3 Laser Mapping Methods
Range-Azimuth, Range-Backsight, and Range-Range
Customers interested in Eos Laser Mapping can choose from three methods: Range-Azimuth, Range-Backsight, and Range-Range (sometimes called “Range-Intersect”). Play the video for an overview of all three methods, and which method is best for which type of data collection. All three methods require the following equipment:
- An Arrow Series® or Skadi Series™ GNSS ReceiverRA, RB, RR
- Eos Tools ProRA, RB, RR
- ArcGIS Field Maps (or ArcGIS Collector)RA, RB, RR
- iOS® or Android™ Mobile DeviceRA, RB, RR

What Hardware and Software is Required for Eos Laser Mapping?
Eos Laser Mapping is a free solution from Eos Positioning Systems®. However, you must have all the required hardware and software components in order to use the solution.
Skadi Series or Arrow Series GNSS Receiver
You will need a Skadi Series or Arrow Series GNSS receiver. We recommend the Skadi Gold™ or Arrow Gold+® receivers for optimal productivity and performance.
iOS® & Android™ Apps
Eos Laser Mapping requires an iOS or Android mobile device running Eos Tools Pro and Esri’s ArcGIS Field Maps to perform the data capture.
Compatible Laser Rangefinder
Eos Laser Mapping is compatible with LTI’s laser rangefinders. The model you need depends on which laser mapping method you wish to use.
Featured Case Studies Using Eos Laser Mapping for ArcGIS
Habitat Restoration using GNSS, GalHAS and Laser Rangefinders in Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Three AmeriCorps GIS interns overcame the challenges of dense canopy using an Arrow Gold+ GNSS receiver, Galileo HAS corrections, and an LTI laser rangefinder. Their work will help field staff clear trees to re-establish the historic bald boundaries.
