HEYIKO originates from the Kisukuma language, one of the indigenous languages spoken in Tanzania, particularly in the Lake Zone.

In Kisukuma, “Heyiko?” is used to ask a question meaning:

“Where is it?” or “Where is that place?”

The name therefore has a natural connection with location, place and geography. It reflects a simple but fundamental question:

“Where is it?”

This idea is at the heart of what HEYIKO Spatial Technologies Limited does. Every farm, home, business, road, property, project and natural resource exists somewhere. By using maps, geographic data, GIS and spatial technology, HEYIKO helps people understand where things are, what surrounds them and what that location means.

Our current services include:

• Professional Maps
• Farm Mapping
• Land & Home Mapping
• Site & Development Planning
• GIS & Spatial Data Services
• Digital Maps & Mapping Systems

We can create maps for farms, plots, homes, businesses, schools, institutions, communities, development sites and other locations. Depending on the project, maps can show boundaries, roads, buildings, water bodies, nearby facilities and other relevant geographic information

Yes. We can create a map of your land, home, farm, compound or site, including its location and relevant surrounding features. We can also organize selected photos, descriptions and information about the place.

Yes. One of our ideas is that a place is more than its location—it can have a story. Depending on the service, we can include information such as when a farm or house was acquired, when development began, important milestones and selected photographs

Yes. Our Site & Development Planning service can help visualize how buildings, roads, parking, gardens, open spaces and other facilities can be organized on a site. Where appropriate, we can also provide 3D visualizations and supporting maps

Measuring your farm with HEYIKO is simple. Open the HEYIKO App, turn on your phone's GPS/location, select Farm Measurement, and start marking the corners of your farm.

Walk to the first corner of your farm and tap “MARK POINT.” The app records the GPS coordinates of that point. Continue walking to the next corner and tap “MARK POINT” again. Repeat this process until all the important corners of the farm have been marked.

Once all points have been marked, HEYIKO connects the points to create the farm boundary and calculates the farm area

• A smartphone with the HEYIKO App
• GPS/location services turned on
• Permission for HEYIKO to access your location
• Sufficient battery
• Access to the farm boundary
• An understanding of the corners or turning points of your farm

After you have marked the necessary boundary points, HEYIKO connects the points in sequence to create a digital polygon representing the farm boundary.

The app then calculates the area enclosed by that polygon.

The result can be displayed in units such as:

• Acres
• Hectares
• Other appropriate area units

The HEYIKO App provides GPS-based mapping and area measurement for information, planning and mapping purposes. The result should not automatically be treated as a legally recognized cadastral or boundary survey.

Where a legally recognized survey, boundary determination or cadastral service is required, an appropriately qualified and licensed professional should be engaged in accordance with applicable requirements.

Because you can start by mapping your own farm using your phone.

You don't need to begin with complicated technical procedures:

Find the corner → Mark the point → Walk to the next corner → Mark the point → Repeat → Finish → Know your farm area.

Then HEYIKO can turn that basic location information into a professional Farm Map and, over time, additional geographic information about your farm.

Simply contact us and tell us what you want to map, where the location is and what you want to achieve. Our team will discuss your requirements, recommend a suitable service and provide a quotation where applicable.
