The problems every field surveyor knows

Hours of manual computation

A 5-station closed traverse with Bowditch adjustment can take 2+ hours by hand. One arithmetic error means starting over.

Leveling checks that fail silently

ΣBS − ΣFS ≠ ΣRise − ΣFall. On paper you might not catch it until the submission is rejected.

Reports not ready for submission

Handwritten tables and Word documents that don't meet the format requirements of land registries.

METARDU solves all three — and everything else between field and submission.

Everything in one platform

From field data collection to submitted report, without leaving METARDU.

20+ calculation tools

Traverse (Bowditch + Transit), leveling (Rise & Fall + HOC), COGO, horizontal and vertical curves, tacheometry, GNSS baseline.

Interactive project map

Plot survey points, draw traverses and parcels on a live map. Click any point to inspect coordinates.

Professional PDF reports

One click generates a formatted survey report with coordinates, adjustments, and your company header.

Offline field mode

Install as an Android app. Leveling book, traverse capture, and all calculators work without internet.

DXF + LandXML export

Export directly into AutoCAD or any surveying software. Submit digitally to clients and registries.

Built for African standards

Arc 1960, WGS84, local UTM zones. Pricing in KES, UGX, TZS, NGN. 10 languages including Kiswahili.

What surveyors say

"METARDU caught a leveling error I would have missed completely. The arithmetic check is automatic and the report was ready in one click."

"I do boundary surveys on a budget Android phone. Offline mode works perfectly and the traverse precision is spot on every time."

"The COGO tools match what I used to do in expensive desktop software. At KSh 500 a month it is simply no comparison."
