Mapping
and GIS for Mobile Systems
ArcPad is software for mobile GIS and field mapping
applications. ArcPad provides mapping, GIS, and GPS integration to field
users via handheld and mobile devices. Data collection with ArcPad is
fast and easy and improves field-based data validation and availability.
ArcPad can offer you
-
Support for industry-standard vector and raster image display
-
Creating and editing spatial data using input from the mouse pointer, pen, or GPS
-
Map navigation, including pan and zoom, spatial bookmarks, and center on the current GPS position
-
Data query to identify features, display hyperlinks, and locate features
-
Map measurement of distance, area, and bearings
-
GPS navigation

Application development to automate GIS fieldwork
Traditionally, the process of field data collection and editing has been time-consuming and error-prone. Geographic data traveled into the field in the form of paper maps. Field edits were performed using sketches and notes on paper maps and clipboards. Once back in the office, these field edits were deciphered and manually entered into the GIS database. The result has been that GIS data has often not been as up-to-date or as accurate as it should have been. Consequently, GIS analysis and decisions have been delayed.
Recent developments in mobile technologies have enabled GIS information to be taken into the field as digital maps on compact, powerful mobile computers, providing field access to enterprise geographic information. This enables organizations to add real-time (and near real-time) information to their enterprise database and applications, speeding up analysis, display, and decision making by using up-to-date, more accurate spatial data.
Many field-based tasks utilize geographic information that has benefited from the increased efficiency and accuracy of mobile GIS including
- Asset inventory, which usually requires field data collection or mapping
- Asset maintenance, which usually requires updates to attribute information and geometry of GIS features
- Inspections, typically involving field assets or legal code compliance
- Incident reporting—for example, spatially recording accidents or events
- GIS analysis and decision making
