Augview
Augview is a mobile GIS application developed by the software company Augview Ltd which is located in auckland, New Zealand. The mobile application allows users to view and edit their infrastructure asset data from the field. Augview is also an augmented reality application which allows users to visualize underground objects they wouldn't ordinarily see. Augview is platform independent and can display asset data on Android and Apple iOS devices. It is a fully functioning mobile GIS, allowing users to view maps, edit data and also includes augmented reality visualization tools.

The Company Augview Limited (www.augview.net) was formed in 2012 when Mike Bundock, the founder, noticed a large shift in the IT market and decided to focus on the development of a new augmented reality GIS product. He realized that there were a growing number of businesses who were looking for smart mobile solutions that made their workforce more productive using the hardware and technology that they had already adopted.

After researching the mobile hardware market it became apparent that the market was on the verge of a major transformation, shifting away from the office workstation and into something much more agile; smartphone and tablet computing. Mike Bundock also realized that many of the limitations which in the past had restricted mobile computing, were being solved at a rapid rate. As a result he decided to use his extensive knowledge of the utility, telecommunications and IT industries to build a product which took advantage of this new technology and solved problematic issues which have frustrated geospatial businesses for years.
