Orientation introduces the place. A Pocket Study explores the questions. A Pocket Plan develops the direction.
Your place. Your next decision.
Make a Pocket Study or Pocket Plan for your property or properties.
A Pocket Study is a place-based feasibility investigation. Evaluate a property or project area against a specific goal, bringing site conditions, applicable requirements, maps, records, and field observations into one evidence-linked workspace.
See what the evidence supports, what remains uncertain, and what needs to happen next. Start with one site and bring related properties together as your work grows.
Pro users can use these plans to coordinate site-reviews, contractors, proposed work, and approvals.
Start where you are
A place you want to buy. Land or a property you already own. A property you are helping someone evaluate.
Before you buyBring the property's context and the questions worth asking into view.
Our package: a Pocket Study before you buy.
Parcel context, access, land-use rules, site constraints, and questions to resolve before your next commitment.
Bring a property and what you hope to do there. We scope the study around your purchase decision and assemble the maps, findings, source references, and open questions for review with your agent or specialist.

Intelligence you can take with you
Bring your property questions into the field. Keep the maps, observations, and documents close as the conversation moves forward.
GeoPockets App connects that field work with the workspace where your plan takes shape.
Open GeoPocketsClarity from scattered evidence
A map on the wall. A report in an email. Photos on a phone. Property knowledge can end up spread across people, paperwork, and places.
GeoPockets brings that context into a shared workspace, with the map beside the documents, observations, and questions that give it meaning.
Your study stays connected to the place, its supporting evidence, and subsequent decisions. Return to that shared record as new information arrives and the next decision takes shape.
Bring your evidence togetherKeep sources, dates, and versions visible. Review new information before relying on an earlier finding.

Crew job list
Example orders stay in this session. Assignment and delivery require an authorized workspace.
From questions to direction
Start with the questions you have about your property. Your Pocket Study brings maps, records, and field findings together to answer them. A green check marks an answer established by the evidence.
Your Pocket Plan takes shape on the other side of those green checks. Use the answers to choose a direction and develop the proposed work, sequence, responsibilities, and costs.
Mapped conditions guide the investigation. Applicable requirements and approvals still need the right sources and authorities.
Bring current zoning, permitted uses, recorded restrictions, and site constraints into one place, with sources and gaps visible.
Compare potential paths—such as a variance, rezoning, or revised plan—with the conditions and evidence each would need.
Organize the relevant authorities, review steps, required submissions, and dependencies into a path to confirm with the decision makers.
Keep maps, records, field observations, and correspondence linked to the claims they support, with their source, date, and verification status.
Track open questions, assumptions, cost estimates, and timing dependencies alongside the next action and who owns it.

Illustrative property investigation · synthetic parcels and records
Explore an illustrative property investigation in GeoPockets. Pick a parcel and an intended use, then follow the answer: identity, jurisdiction, the evidence behind each requirement, what is unresolved and who resolves it, and the Pocket Study. Mark any evidence stale, missing, or contradicted and watch the conclusion change.
Map overlays show where to look. A line crossing a parcel does not establish that a requirement applies; the evidence panel says what does.

Methods and evidence
A location gives the investigation a starting point. Field observations, records, and plans give it substance. Keep each source connected to the property question as the work moves between the site and the decision table.
Start where you are. Use the map to orient the field visit and identify what needs a closer look.
A map position guides the search. Confirm parcel identity against the relevant records.
Look beyond an address to access, terrain, structures, and the surrounding landscape. Record what you observe and what still needs checking.
A site image or address sign is a clue, not proof of a boundary, right, or permitted use.
Bring field observations beside maps and documents for review. Keep the source and date with the finding as it moves between devices and people.
A shared picture should retain its origins, versions, and unresolved questions.
Consult the relevant plan in the field. Compare observations with the records and bring exceptions back to the property owner or responsible reviewer.
A screen label or checked item does not establish applicability, approval, or completed review.
Reference imagery illustrates these methods. Depicted maps and interfaces include third-party and concept screens; they are not current GeoPockets product screens or verified property findings.

GeoPockets connects your property question to parcel identity, relevant authorities, and qualified sources. Bring your plans and reports into that workspace, review the findings, and record the next decision. Document intake is described below; the animated request illustrates the wider investigation process.
Illustrative workflow · one example PDF, four connected steps. These diagrams are not product screenshots.
Select the client workspace, then use File uploads to add your PDFs. The original stays available for reference.
Intake scans PDFs for map sheets, figures, and details. Candidates appear in GeoStudio → Maps with links to the source document and page.
Georeferenced PDFs use vector extraction. Ordinary map sheets and scans can enter image review and Photo-to-Map extraction; review their alignment before geographic use.
Text extraction and OCR follow the map stages. Reopen saved sources in GeoStudio and retry failed map scans or OCR without uploading the original again.
Keep the intake page open while a batch processes. Two documents run at a time, with a 20 MB limit per PDF and up to 50 pages scanned for map candidates. Derived map images and extraction drafts retain their document and page references.
