Visualize your location data in the real world with "AR with CSV".
This app imports coordinate data from CSV files and overlays points directly onto your camera view using Augmented Reality (AR). Unlike standard 2D map viewers, "AR with CSV" helps you intuitively understand the direction and distance of target points in the actual landscape.
Designed for professionals in surveying, GIS, and civil engineering, as well as outdoor enthusiasts, this app supports not only standard Latitude/Longitude but also Plane Rectangular Coordinate Systems (UTM and Japan 19 system).

[Key Features]
CSV Import: Load your own location data freely. Flexible column mapping allows you to match your CSV format (Header detection, Column selection).
Coordinate System Support:
Latitude & Longitude (Decimal degrees)
UTM Coordinates (Universal Transverse Mercator)
Plane Rectangular Coordinate System (Japan Zones 1-19)
Advanced Elevation Modes:
Switch between Ellipsoid Height and Mean Sea Level (Elevation).
Supports Geoid Model import (.isg format) for accurate altitude correction.
AR Overlay Tools:
Displays target points with labels and distance.
Adjustable view distance slider to filter nearby/far points.
"Radar" view to see the device orientation.
Location Management:
Use internal GNSS/GPS for automatic positioning.
Manual location override allows you to fix your position to a specific coordinate or a point from your list, enabling simulation from different viewpoints.
[Ideal Use Cases]
Surveying & Engineering: Roughly locating stakes, boundaries, or landmarks on-site.
GIS Data Verification: Visualizing geographic data points in the real world.
Outdoor Activities: Checking the direction of mountain peaks, trailheads, or waypoints during hiking.
Disaster Prevention: Confirming the location of shelters or hazard zones.
[How to Use]
Prepare Data: Create a CSV file containing coordinates (Lat/Lon or North/East) and save it to your device.
Load: Open the app and select your CSV file.
Configure: Choose the coordinate type and map the columns (tell the app which column is X, Y, Name, etc.).
Start AR: Tap the button to enter the camera view and see your points.
[Notes]
The accuracy of the AR overlay depends on the performance of your device's GNSS (GPS), compass, and accelerometer sensors.
This app is intended as an assistive visualization tool and should not replace high-precision surveying instruments.
Coordinate conversion logic is based on standard projection formulas (Gauss-Krüger).
