1 ArcGIS for Mobile Solution Harkeerat Kang GIS Specialist Senior King County May 14 th, 2014 WAURISA Conference, 2014

2 What is Mobile GIS Extends GIS beyond the office Allows staff to collect data, inspect and maintain data in the field

3 ArcPad Mobile Solutions ArcGIS for Windows Mobile Collector for ArcGIS Handheld receivers with proprietary software Smartphone apps non Esri

4 Licensing One mobile deployment is included with each ArcGIS for Desktop license Or buy additional mobile deployments in 5 or 50 packs

5 Architecture Option Server ArcGIS Server ArcSDE ArcGIS Mobile

6 Software installation Mobile Project Center ArcGIS Mobile

7 Mobile Workflow 1. Build mobile geodatabase 2. Author mobile map 3. Publish mobile service 4. Customize mobile project 5. Deploy mobile project

8 Mobile Service

9 Environment Connected: basemap and mobile service layer caches are not needed, data synchronized in the field Disconnected: need access to a mobile cache and map cache on the devices

10 Project Map Layers/Services Basemap Operational layers

11 Mobile Basemap Types Basemap type Data type Connectivity Notes Cached map tiles ArcGIS Server map services Image tiles conf.xml file conf.cdi file Disconnected Reference the folder that stores the conf.xml file Service URL Connected Use any security credentials that apply to the service ArcGIS.com Service URL Connected Operational data must use the same reference as ArcGIS.com service Street map for Mobile Tile packages and tiled datasets Vector based.sdc files.navmap schema file Disconnected Reference the folder that stores the.navmap file.tpk extension Disconnected Inside a tile package is a tiled dataset

12 Caches Map Cache: are image tiles created from the map service Mobile Cache: are local copies of the map schema and the operational data for the mobile project

13 Deployment Models Disconnected no connectivity Nomadic partially connected environment, server load increases On-demand complete connected environment, server load is high

14 Mobile Project Center

15 Mobile Project Center

16 ArcGIS Mobile

17 ArcGIS Mobile

18 Deployment Folder structure of mobile project deployment should be consistent Store map caches and mobile caches correctly Update deployment files with schema updates Synchronize data before disconnecting devices Basemap map cache updates are infrequent

19 Folder Structure

20 Data Synchronization Use two databases for Office editing Mobile field data collection Use replication Synchronize data daily

21 Stormwater Datasets

22 Equipment Lenovo Thinkpad Helix tablet running ArcGIS Mobile 10.2 Intel Core i7-3667u 2.00 GHz processor 8.00 GB RAM 64 bit Windows 8 Operating System 256 GB storage Bluetooth and Docking Station Trimble GPS Pathfinder ProXT Garmin Glow GPS

23 Supported Devices ArcPad ArcGIS for Windows Mobile Collector for ArcGIS Smartphones N N Y Tablets, Laptops Y Y Tablets - Y Operating Systems Windows Mobile 5, 6, Vista, 7, 8 Network Connectivity Windows Mobile 5, 6 Windows XP, Vista, 7 Android and ios Wi-FI, Cell, Bluetooth Y Y Y In-Field Functionality Task and Workflow Driven N Y Y Disconnected Editing Y Y Y Ad Hoc Data Collection Y N N Editing of Layer Display Properties Y N N Map Services Y Y Y ArcGIS Online Services Y Y Y Customization ArcPad Studio ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Windows Mobile License Fee Y Free with ArcGIS Desktop license Comes with Organization ArcGIS Online account N

24 Best Practices Use GDB aliases and domains Use saved extents for mobile caching Use ESRI optimized symbology, scale dependencies, map extents Use minimum layers to be edited in a project If possible use disconnected environment for fast data collection

25 Benefits of ArcGIS for Mobile Rapidly deploy field GIS applications without custom development Offline (a.k.a. disconnected ) data collection Collect attachments One service, many clients Replace paper-based workflows Make timely and informed decisions

26 ArcGIS for Mobile Challenges GPS accuracy requires extra equipment, processes Limited user interface customization Imagery base maps storage size Standard field computer hassles (battery, rain, software/hardware glitches, etc.) Table relationships are not supported Related tables are not supported No ad hoc data collection Cannot modify symbology in the field

28 Upcoming Changes ArcGIS for Mobile will be replaced by Collector for ArcGIS
