Curious what surveyors are actually using for quick calculations in the field. I'm on the civil/site engineering side and find myself constantly needing percent grade, rise/run, ADA slopes, and drainage calculations that most generic apps don't handle well.

I ended up building something myself after getting frustrated with the existing options — covers site-specific calculations rather than general engineering formulas. Built disclaimers into every result since none of it replaces a proper survey or stamped design.

Happy to share more details if anyone's interested, but genuinely curious first — what are you using currently and what's missing from the tools available?

What do you wish existed for field calculations?
