An iPhone app and field hardware for surveyors.
Prairie Point is a one-person shop in Calgary, run by a working construction surveyor. Everything here started as a problem on a job site.
The Prairie Point app
Seven tools built around the Alberta Township System, in one app so you aren't switching between three. Everything works without cell signal.

PoleStamp
A paint marker that threads onto your survey pole. Set it on the point, push down, and it sprays a Y with a centre dot through a stencil. No bending over, and the mark is centred on the pole every time.
