CSV to KML Converter

Stop shooting retros until two of them match up

If you've ever set up a total station on a job where the retros aren't named, you know the drill — shoot one, shoot another, keep going until two coordinates match what's in your list. It works, but it wastes time.

Upload your control CSV here and get a KML you can open in Google Earth — every point sitting on satellite imagery so you can see roughly where each mark should be before you even pick up the instrument. If you're on CivDocs, load it straight into the map and your phone will show you the distance and direction to each point from where you're standing.

Know where you're setting up before you get there.

• See where each control point sits on the ground before you set up
• Narrow down which retros to shoot instead of trying them all
• Open in Google Earth or load straight into CivDocs
• Works with CSV exports from Trimble, Topcon, or Leica
• Upload your file, pick your zone, download your KML

Know exactly where every control point is before you get on site

On most jobs the surveyor sets the ground marks and retros but half the time the point name isn't written on them. The grader operator doesn't know which mark is which, the survey is off site or flat out, and then you end up burning time and looking unprofessional trying to figure it out.

Upload your control CSV into CivDocs and every point gets plotted on a live 3D map — named, coordinated, and visible to everyone on the job. The grader can pull it up from the cab on their phone or tablet and see exactly which mark is which before they even get out of the seat.

• See every control point named and plotted on the 3D map
• Know which mark is which without calling the surveyor
• Works from the cab on any phone or tablet
• Upload your CSV and it's live in seconds

CivDocs also handles your plant logbooks, pre-starts, timesheets, and invoicing — everything a civil contractor needs in one place.
