OnStation vs. Google Earth
“I just send the files to OnStation and they build the project - there’s no need to upload KML files into Google Earth. ”
OnStation is a collaborative digital stationing platform with a mobile app that provides live station/offset and location-based documentation. Google Earth is an adhoc solution utilized by teams looking for digital stationing.
What’s the
main difference?
OnStation
LIVE STATION OFFSET IN THE FIELD
Real-time GPS Stationing: Instantly know your location on the jobsite in reference to station, mile marker, lat/long, LRS.
Improved Project Build: Submit CAD files and OnStation builds the project for all users.
Increased Project Visibility: View plan information in reference to location and station offset with ability to converted to MM, LL, or LRS.
Document & Communicate: Capture field data, document, and communicate across teams from the field with station stamped location.
Google Earth
MAP TOOL WITH SATELLITE IMAGERY
Project Build: Each user uploads CAD files to manually build the project.
Manual Calculations: Station offset and converting STA to MM, LL, or LRS are calculated manually.
Document & Communicate: Field data, documentation, and communication are captured outside of google earth.
