Stationing and offset<\/strong> is a simple and precise method of locating and capturing information, typically during a construction project, along linear assets like roads, railways, or pipelines.<\/p>\n

Stationing is the measurement of distance along a designated centerline or alignment. In ArcGIS, stationing is a measurement value (m-value) that is dynamically associated with a linear feature or route in an Linear Referencing System (LRS). Offset is the perpendicular distance from the centerline to a specific point \u2013 like where the mobile worker is capturing information.<\/p>\n

Within a civil construction project, stationing and offset information is captured as part of specific inspection tasks to ensure roads or pipelines are built according to design specifications. Stationing provides reference and when combined with offset, provide accuracy of measurements.<\/p>\n

Now, with ArcGIS Field Maps, you can automatically capture stationing and offset<\/strong> values<\/strong> along with other route characteristics while filling out inspection form details. Paired with an external GNSS receiver, referenced locations can be accurate to the cm. If a design surface is provided, Field Maps can also validate that current construction is “at grade” with design. Please read our earthworks blog article<\/a> for how to configure Field Maps to capture cut and fill measurements.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2945179,"id":2945179,"title":"Blog - Station and Offset (720) v2","filename":"Blog-Station-and-Offset-720-v2.gif","filesize":18684512,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Blog-Station-and-Offset-720-v2.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/field-maps\/field-mobility\/stationing-and-offset-capture-using-arcgis-field-maps\/blog-station-and-offset-720-v2","alt":"Automatically capture station, offset, and the unique route id of linear features.","author":"3651","description":"Automatically capture station, offset, and the unique route id of linear features.","caption":"Automatically capture station, offset, and the unique route id of linear features.","name":"blog-station-and-offset-720-v2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2944263,"date":"2025-10-23 19:18:17","modified":"2025-10-23 19:18:33","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1280,"height":720,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Blog-Station-and-Offset-720-v2-213x200.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Blog-Station-and-Offset-720-v2.gif","medium-width":464,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Blog-Station-and-Offset-720-v2.gif","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":432,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Blog-Station-and-Offset-720-v2.gif","large-width":1280,"large-height":720,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Blog-Station-and-Offset-720-v2.gif","1536x1536-width":1280,"1536x1536-height":720,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Blog-Station-and-Offset-720-v2.gif","2048x2048-width":1280,"2048x2048-height":720,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Blog-Station-and-Offset-720-v2-826x465.gif","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Blog-Station-and-Offset-720-v2.gif","wide_image-width":1280,"wide_image-height":720}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
