Control Points Finder is a mobile geospatial search and navigation tool developed for surveyors, GIS specialists, and field engineers in Ghana that enables locating verified control points quickly and accurately.
The application was built with Flutter and powered by Redis Cloud, using Redis not only as a cache but as the primary database, full-text search engine, and real-time geospatial query layer.
Redis provides multi-model capabilities that elevate Control Points Finder's intelligence beyond temporary storage: fuzzy full-text search to identify point identifiers and locality names, radius-based geospatial filtering to find nearby points instantly, autocomplete with live suggestions, and dynamic visualization of metadata and coordinate conversions.
Examples of queries used from the Redis CLI that feed the in-app experience: FT.SEARCH control_points_idx @location:[5.5882 -0.1751 10 km] RETURN 3 id town location for proximity searches and FT.SEARCH control_points_idx @town_tag:{TEMA} RETURN 3 id town_text location for locality searches. KEYS cp:* is also used for direct inspection and debugging.
Key features included in the application: full-text search by city name and control point ID, geospatial radius search with immediate results, intelligent autocomplete that improves field data capture, dynamic cards with ID, locality, coordinates, original coordinate system, and a navigation button to Google Maps to guide the engineer in real time.
The technology stack combines Redis Cloud as the primary data store and Redis GEO for geospatial indexing, RediSearch for full-text searches and suggestions, Flutter on the frontend for an optimized mobile experience, and a lightweight backend based on scripts and Redis CLI queries for logic and validation.
Impact on field operations: time savings for surveyors and engineers, improved field planning and accuracy, reduced costs from location errors, real-time decision-making, and preservation of legacy coordinate systems for compatibility with existing processes.
