Li.PAD Mobile Mapping is a mobile mapping app and cloud-based WebGIS platform from Leonardo Web, aimed at municipal and utility use cases. It started with surveys of public lighting points and electrical cabinets, then expanded into asset inventories for storm drains, manholes, street numbers, road signs, greenery, tourist points of interest, outdoor facilities, and more. It can also form part of a broader ecosystem with fault reporting, maintenance, and indoor asset modules.
The product uses smartphone/iPhone GPS collection as the entry point. Field data is synced to a dedicated cloud database in real time or after offline work, and can then be viewed, queried, edited, and exported through WebGIS. A key strength is its relatively robust asset model configuration: users can customize asset categories, fields, tabs, and sub-forms; set required fields and numeric validation; and define parent-child relationships. This makes it suitable for complex municipal objects such as “electrical cabinet—light pole—luminaire” or “support pole—multiple signboards.” It supports images, audio, video, and attachments, as well as point, line, and polygon capture, KML/GPX display, and map sources including Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, and WMS.
Pricing is fairly transparent, using a one-time device license plus an annual cloud maintenance fee. One license costs €855 plus €250/year; 20 licenses cost €7,600 plus €2,500/year. Plans include 30GB to 800GB of cloud storage, with no limits on regions or number of points. Licenses are based on concurrent device usage. The free trial allows collection of 100 points with full functionality, and data can be exported to GIS or management systems.
Its strengths are deep vertical-industry focus, practical offline and weak-network handling, and support for formats such as DXF/SHP/KML/CSV/XLSX, making it easy to fit into AutoCAD, QGIS, and ArcGIS workflows. It also provides APIs for real-time exchange of survey, fault reporting, and work order data with customer systems. The main drawback is the lack of detail around security and compliance: encryption, backups, SLA, and data residency are not disclosed. The product also appears to be strongly oriented toward the Italian market, with unknown support for Chinese, local regulations, and domestic service capabilities.
It is suitable for municipal departments, ESCos, multi-service utility companies, and surveying/planning technical firms, especially for public lighting audits, drainage and road facility inventories, and pre-maintenance asset documentation for work orders. There is no available information on access from China, and payment methods are not disclosed. For deployment in mainland China, key points to verify include App Store/Google service availability, basemap options, cloud access speed, and contract/payment arrangements. Alternatives include ArcGIS Field Maps, Survey123, QField/QGIS, Fulcrum, or domestic GIS solutions such as SuperMap.
