The document provides an overview of Spike, a device that attaches to smartphones and tablets to enable quick location and measurement capabilities. Spike performs six core field functions, including measuring objects in geotagged photos, measuring point-to-point distances, laser targeting of features, collecting GPS locations with offsets, creating geotagged photos, and publishing/sharing data. Spike turns mobile devices into a geospatial multi-tool for industries like construction, facilities management, public safety, and more. The document outlines Spike models, how to use it, export formats, adoption examples, and technical specifications.
