The maps app with Augmented Reality

All geo data at the site

Determining the location of subsurface utilities both horizontally and vertically before digging reduces the risk of excavation damage.

Perhaps one of the most important features of our AR Maps app is that you can upload all the information that Kadaster sends you as a result of the Dutch KLIC report into the app for free. It is as simple as placing the KLIC zip file on your tablet or smartphone and opening it via the BlindGuide app.

The fact that we offer this functionality for free is unique and of great added value. Now you can download the app quickly and easily and import the KLIC or other geo spatial data.

What else can you expect from the app?

In addition to being able to upload and use the Dutch KLIC file for free and easily, you no longer have to mess with large paper drawings and maps that can get wet. The app shows real-time where the cables and pipes are. You have all information quickly and clearly at your disposal. You can also expect the following functionalities:

Layers

All map layers are shown and can be switched on and off by the user per layer (network manager). You can also turn the dimensions and annotations on and off separately if supplied by Kadaster

Contact information

To be able to contact the relevant network operators, we display the contactinformation of the relevant network operators in your excavation area. You can contact them directly via your smartphone by clicking on the telephone number or e-mail address.

Attachments

In addition to the utilities, you can also use the BlindGuide KLIC app to view all accompanying documents from the KLIC report, such as the delivery letter and / or precautionary measures from the network operator.

Augmented Reality

It is now also possible to view the geo-spatial data of your project in Augmented Reality (AR).

Do you want to know which utilities you see in Augmented Reality? By touching the line on your screen in your AR Maps app, you can quickly see the available properties of the utility.

You do not need difficult contracts for this. You can buy the AR function in the app for a one-time fee. You are therefore not committed to anything.

Measuring in AR

In addition to viewing KLIC and other geo data in Augmented Reality, you can also use our app to perform measurements in Augmented Reality.

• Measure the length of a cable or pipe in the slot quickly and easily;
• Measure quickly and easily the area of a plot in front of you.

When you have finished your measurement, we also show you the GPS coordinates of your chosen line or area and you can take a screenshot to send that to your colleague.

Buy additional features ?

In the BlindGuide KLIC apps for smartphone and tablet, you can buy additional functionality in the form of in-app purchases. If there are features that you find useful for the sector and would like to be added to the KLIC App, we invite you to share them with us.

Which in-app purchases are available?

Within the BlindGuide KLIC app we offer the following packages: Plus and Premium. Via the BlindGuide shop in the app you can see which purchases you can make. Below you will find a screenshot of the additional functions in the respective packages in our in-app shop.

When you download the BlindGuide KLIC app, you start with a free version. This free version offers you the basic functionalities mentioned above. If you opted for augmented reality in a previous version, we automatically upgraded you to the full Premium package in the update to version 2.0 (as per August 2019) and you will see that you no longer have an order a button.

Enrich your data

To prevent excavation damage, the correct information is essential for good decision making. Digital exchange of geo-data ensures efficiency and offers us new opportunities for collaboration. We believe that big data can help to provide the right geospatial data to excavation workers at the right time.

Via our ETL Tool you are now able to merge AutoCAD and Gis data to your KLIC report.
