Overview

Eos Locate™ for ArcGIS Apps by Eos Positioning Systems

Eos Locate™ for ArcGIS Apps lets you map underground assets with submeter or centimeter accuracy with the push of a button, straight into ArcGIS Online.  Eos Locate™ is a free solution available to joint customers of Esri and Eos Positioning Systems. You must have all the required hardware and software components from Eos and Esri in order to utilize this solution. Required components include ArcGIS Field Maps (latest version), an Eos Arrow GNSS receiver, an iOS device (iPad or iPhone) running Eos Tools Pro, and a compatible underground locator. Scroll down for a complete list of requirements. For pricing and accuracy information and recommendations, please contact Eos. 

Who is this solution for? 

Eos Locate™ is perfect for any organization responsible for the ownership and lifecycle management of underground infrastructure. Current users of Eos Locate™ include 
  • Gas utilities
  • Water and wastewater utilities
  • Electric utilities and rural cooperatives
  • Telecommunications companies
  • Municipalities (e.g., cities, counties)
  • Rural co-operatives
  • Related third-party contractors, consultancies, and engineering and construction firms
Eos Locate™ is also popular among organizations which have underground infrastructure such as 
  • Ports
  • Airports
  • Transportation authorities
  • Campuses

What kind of buried assets can you map?

Eos Locate™ works with a compatible locator capable of detecting any buried asset equipped with a tracer wire. Please note that the full detection capabilities of this solution are derived from the detection capabilities of your locator brand and model. 


What accuracy will you get with underground mapping?
Eos Locate™ is powered by the popular Eos Arrow Series of receivers. As such, the solution's accuracy comes from the Arrow GNSS receiver you are using.  (If you don't yet have an Arrow receiver, you can contact Eos Positioning Systems here.)  The Eos Arrow 200 and Arrow Gold receivers can provide centimeter-level accuracy, making them the ideal option for workflows requiring highly accurate elevations. 

What is the cost?
Eos Locate™ is free to Esri customers who already own the required compatible hardware and software components. There is no additional activation fee or license to purchase. Our technical support team can help you get started once you have the required components.

Can I try Eos Locate™ if I don't have the hardware? 

We are constantly releasing more digital content, such as how-to videos and articles, that demonstrate how to use Eos Locate™. In addition, you can request a demonstration of the solution by contacting Eos. This will put you in touch with a qualified, authorized local reseller of Arrow who is familiar with the solution. 

What is the value of deploying Eos Locate™? 

1. Safety Improvements 

Prevent liabilities to your constituents, employees, and third parties by keeping accurate records of underground pipes, cables, and wires in ArcGIS Online. While your Arrow GNSS receiver and Esri mobile apps can be used to map new installations, Eos Locate™ allows you to capture the locations of assets that have been previously installed.

2. Improve Efficiency of Field Operations

Instead of sending two crews to the field — one to locate underground assets and one to conduct the mapping workflow — send one crew. This saves time and money. A single field worker can both locate the underground assets and submit their locations to ArcGIS Online in the push of a button.


3. Prepare for the future of work with Augmented Reality and 3D workflows

Augmented Reality (AR) technology is very eye-catching — but it cannot work if the X, Y, and Z data in your GIS is inaccurate or missing. To pave the way for the future of work, you must collect what's under the pavement.  Eos Tools Pro, the free app that powers the Eos Locate™ solution, can output real-time orthometric heights (elevations) of the buried assets to ArcGIS Field Maps. This provides the critical, high-confidence accuracy you will need to deploy downstream workflows with highly accurate Z values. It's also important to note that the Eos Locate™ solution includes the submission of depth of cover (along with other standard locator data) to Field Maps. 

Summary of Eos Locate™ benefits:
  1. Map buried assets with submeter or centimeter accuracy in ArcGIS Online. 
  2. Single-user setup allows for simultaneous locate and GPS-mapping workflows.
  3. Exclusively compatible with Esri's ArcGIS Field Maps, Arrow GNSS receivers, and leading utility locator devices.
  4. Simple solution design takes advantage of the intuitive iOS platform.
