Expected accuracy with OnStation is typically around 3 to 5 feet, as reported by users in the field. This level of accuracy is more than sufficient for most jobsite use cases, especially for tasks like layout verification, visualization, and field coordination. However, it’s not designed to replace the precision of high-end surveying equipment when exact location data is required.

Digital Stationing through OnStation relies on the GPS capabilities of your phone or tablet. Accuracy can vary based on device model, satellite visibility, weather conditions, and how well the project alignment has been calibrated.

Wondering if this level of accuracy is worth the investment?

👉 Achieving Higher ROI – Does the Price of Digital Stationing Outweigh Its Accuracy?

Before submitting anything, we highly recommend searching our OnStation Project Database—with over 3,000+ active projects, there’s a good chance your project is already available in the OnStation App. If your project isn’t listed, it can easily be submitted by a team member—this is typically the person who created the project files or a project manager. To submit a new project, visit our Project Submission Portal.

Once your files are submitted, our engineering team reviews and configures everything to ensure your project displays correctly in both the OnStation App and Portal. We take great pride in ensuring your digital stationing and mapping layers are accurate and easy to use.

Project uploads typically take around 10 business days to be fully integrated. You can check the status of your submission anytime by logging into the Portal.

Nope—we don’t track people, and honestly, we don’t want to! OnStation is all about helping you figure out where you are on the project and where things happened, not keeping tabs on your every move.

Our safety feature, Active Worksite™, does anonymously alert drivers through Waze (thanks to our iCone integration) when crews are nearby. But don’t worry—no one in OnStation can see your location, not even us.

If you’re looking for full crew tracking or time management tools, check out platforms like HCSS HeavyJob, B2W Track, or Raken—they’re built for that kind of thing.

OnStation pricing is customized based on your team size and the features you need—because every crew and project is different.

We offer three license types—Locate, Capture, and Data—so each team member gets the right tools for their role. Whether it’s finding your location on the job, dropping observations, or reviewing project data, there’s a license built for it.

On average, licenses are around $50 per user, per month—basically the same price as a monthly subscription to satellite radio… but instead of classic rock, you get real-time project visibility, safety tools, and streamlined communication.

We also offer team-wide add-ons like Active Worksite™ for safety alerts, plan set overlays, and integrations that connect OnStation with your existing systems.

Not directly. While phones do have GPS, they aren’t accurate enough (yet!) to give reliable elevation data. But don’t worry—if your project’s plan sets include elevation details, we can add those in as a design layer. That way, you’ll still be able to see elevation info right in the OnStation App, just coming from the plans, not the GPS.

When you or your crew drop flags, take photos, fill out forms, or chat, all that info is automatically stamped with the date, time, and location. It’s then uploaded to the cloud and securely stored with your project. As long as your company has an active OnStation license, you can access that data anytime—no digging through notebooks or chasing people down.

Better yet, all your project data can be exported in the formats you need, including PDF, Excel, KML, GeoJSON, and even custom exports upon request. Whether it's for reporting, record-keeping, or pulling that info into another system, we make it easy to get your data where it needs to go.

To make things even easier, we’ve integrated with tools like HCSS HeavyJob, TransTech, FleetWatcher, and others. This helps cut down on manual work and makes your data flow smoother between platforms.

Bottom line: your project data stays organized, accessible, and ready when you need it—without the headache.

👉 Check out our Integrations Page to see all the systems we currently connect with. And if there's a tool you use that we don’t integrate with yet, you can submit an integration request right from that page!

OnStation is not a GPS device designed for mounting on construction equipment or trucks. Instead, it seamlessly streams real-time digital stationing data straight to your smartphone, empowering you to pinpoint your exact location on bustling highway construction sites.
