Li.PAD Mobile Mapping is a municipal and outdoor asset survey platform from Leonardo Web, built around an iOS/Android mobile app plus cloud-based WebGIS. It was originally designed for surveying public lighting points, electrical cabinets, and network elements, and has since expanded to cover “point assets” such as storm drains, manhole covers, road signs, house numbers, greenery, tourist points of interest, outdoor routes, as well as line and polygon objects.
The product’s strengths lie in its end-to-end workflow for field data collection and GIS asset management. The app can collect data using a phone’s GPS or an external Bluetooth GPS device, and supports fields such as photos, audio, video, attachments, multi-select, and Boolean values. The WebGIS interface allows users to view, search, edit, and export data. Complex assets can be represented using TABs and subforms—for example, multiple lamps on a single light pole, or multiple traffic signs on one support structure. The system also supports parent-child relationships, required-field validation, numeric rules, thematic maps, filters, KML/GPX, map tile caching, fully offline collection, and delayed image synchronization under poor network conditions.
Pricing is relatively transparent: licenses are purchased per device as a one-time fee, with annual fees for cloud data maintenance and support. 1 license costs €855 with a €250 annual fee; 20 licenses cost €7,600 with a €2,500 annual fee. The number of points and areas is unlimited, while cloud storage ranges from 30GB to 800GB. Deployment appears to be primarily cloud-based, with data stored in a dedicated cloud database and accessed via a company-specific WebGIS domain. No self-hosting option was found. The free trial allows users to collect 100 points with full functionality.
Integration capabilities are strong. The platform supports export to xlsx, csv, dxf, shp, and kml, and can work with AutoCAD, QGIS, and ArcGIS. Maps support Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, WMS, and more. The platform also provides an API for customer systems to query survey, repair request, and work order data in real time. For collaboration, it supports user management, roles, and customization of functions and workflows. On the compliance side, the public lighting version is PELL Verified and mentions compatibility with CONSIP, CAM, and ELENA requirements; however, details on encryption, backups, ISO certification, or GDPR are not disclosed.
Its advantages include strong vertical focus, flexible forms, robust offline fieldwork capabilities, GIS-friendly formats, public pricing, and unlimited points. The drawbacks are that most materials are in Italian, the product is geared toward European municipal procurement, security/compliance and SLA information is limited, and there is a modeling learning curve for non-GIS teams. It is best suited for technical consulting firms, ESCos, municipal departments, utilities, and teams that need to conduct large-scale outdoor asset surveys.
Access from China is unknown. Because the platform relies on Google Maps, the Apple/Google app stores, and overseas cloud services, actual usability may be affected by local network conditions. Payment, invoicing, and local support options are also not specified. Chinese users may want to compare it with ArcGIS Field Maps, QField/QGIS, Fulcrum, or local urban management/GIS asset inspection platforms.
