Capture
Take the photo while the work is in front of you.
CONOTA VS SOLOCATOR
Choose Conota when the field record needs to fit the wider job.
Solocator and Conota both focus closely on GPS-enabled field photos, so this is a more like-for-like comparison. Solocator offers extensive photo overlays, map and export options. Conota is positioned around practical field documentation: project context, technical location information, useful records and workflows that can continue into the storage and reporting tools already used by the organization.
Start with what your team actually needs.
Both products can support field-photo documentation, but they are built around different priorities. Conota is the stronger fit when the main job is to create clear, useful field records without introducing a broader platform than the work requires.
Solocator may be a strong fit when detailed on-photo overlays, map-based review and its specific export options match the way you already document work.
Where Conota fits best.
A focused field-documentation workflow can be an advantage when your existing storage, reporting or project systems already work.
Choose Conota when...
- Capture project, notes, GPS, time and direction as part of the field record
- Built around practical documentation for engineering and field work
- Structured filenames and records designed to remain useful after capture
- Fits into existing storage and reporting workflows, including supported cloud connections
Solocator may fit better when...
- Extensive GPS, bearing, altitude and overlay options
- Project and description fields are available through its Industry Pack
- Map-based review and location tools
- KML, KMZ, CSV and other export options are documented

Conota does not need to replace your stack.
If your organization already has folders, cloud storage, reporting templates or a project system, Conota can sit at the capture end of that workflow.

Common questions
Is Conota intended to replace Solocator in every workflow?
No. The products overlap in field-photo documentation, but each has its own product direction and feature set. Conota is positioned for organizations that value focused field capture and useful photo context without needing a broader platform for every surrounding workflow.
Why choose a more focused tool?
A focused tool can reduce the amount of process a field user has to learn when the primary requirement is documenting work clearly. It can also let an organization keep storage, reporting and project systems that already work.
Can Conota be used by teams?
Yes. Conota has a business offering for organizational use. Review the Teams and Pricing pages for the current Conota offering and confirm any deployment requirement before purchase.
How should we evaluate the products?
Test the workflow you actually perform. Capture a real set of field records, move them into the systems you use afterwards, and compare how much context remains clear without additional cleanup.
