4 GPS Accuracy Is GPS Accuracy important to you?

5 GPS Scatter Plots

6 Differential GPS Two receivers track the SAME signals and errors at the SAME time They both compute imperfect positions Base differences applied to Rover

7 Indiana RTN/VRS Network Growing list of networks Check with Seiler for status in your area Subscription Service in IL and IN Free service in IA, IN, MO, WI Must have cellular coverage Works with specific, newer models for high-accuracy in the field Excellent for relocates

8 VRS Conclusions VRS is here Large and recent expansion in the Midwest The cost of using VRS is declining or is free Cellular costs dropping; coverage improving The benefits of VRS are significant Data quality and consistency Once availability and cost get to the right level, VRS is expected to be the DGPS source of choice for many applications Particularly urban/suburban

9 What is ArcGIS for Mobile ArcGIS for Windows Mobile helps organizations deliver GIS capabilities and data from centralized servers to a range of mobile devices. You can use ArcGIS for Windows Mobile to deploy intuitive iti and productive mobile GIS applications to increase the accuracy and improve the currency of GIS data across your organization. Easy-to-use ArcGIS for Windows Mobile applications enable field staff who do not necessarily have any GIS experience to do Mapping Spatial query Sketching GPS integration GIS editing

10 Why? Benefits: Esri workflows User-friendly, non-gis interface!! Integration into existing databases- no Shapefiles needed! More efficient data flow- Especially with ArcGIS Server High-Accuracy Interface for GPS supporting real-time networks and post-processing

11 Esri Workflows Some similarity to ArcPad Mobile Cache: Get Data for ArcPad Synchronize Mobile Cache: Get Data From ArcPad Mobile Project Center is somewhat analogous to ArcPad Studio for customizing

12 Interface Very user-friendly Non-GIS user interface, designed for broad base of users Big Buttons- Wear gloves and work

13 Dataflow Check-in/ Check-out is far superior to import/ export Allows editing of attributes or geometry without having to design complex office input Synchronization is very powerful- allowing for a user to remotely sync data when ArcGIS Server is available

14 The GPS Problem & Solution ArcGIS Mobile natively supports only NMEA Pros: broad compatibility Cons: no raw data, acc. indicators, receiver interface, built-in real- time connection Manufacturers have been adding own extensions to allow for more direct interface to their own receivers, ex: Trimble Positions, Topcon e-gps

15 New Addition and Updates NEW Trimble Positions ArcPad extension An extension for the off-the-shelf Esri ArcPad 10 field software Integrates ArcPad 10 workflows into the Trimble Positions software suite as an alternative to Trimble GPScorrect / GPS Analyst extension workflows Supports the Trimble Juno 5 series and GeoExplorer 5 series Trimble Positions Mobile extension Now supports the Juno 5 series and GeoExplorer 5 series Trimble Positions Desktop add-in Support for Esri ArcPad 10 field software workflows Trimble Positions toolkit Now supports the Juno 5 series and GeoExplorer 5 series

16 Get Trimble Positions, Get Data Confidence Now accessible to Esri ArcPad 10 field software users Trusted data quality Unparalleled productivity and accuracy Complete streamlined workflow

17 Trusted Data Quality Quality GIS data means an organization can make sound decisions Trimble Positions means Data seamlessly verified in the enterprise GIS for rapid field-to-office data flow High quality data is simple for field crews to capture Using the most technologically advanced equipment on the market Collecting intelligent GNSS data, with honest accuracy ratings you can trust

18 Accuracy. Productivity. GIS data quality depends on field crews delivering accurate field data without being slowed by complicated software or inability to collect positions Trimble Positions means Simple workflows and feedback that guide field workers through even complex data collection tasks to minimize error and maximize productivity Positioning which is more accessible and accurate than ever before thanks to advanced Trimble Floodlight technology

19 Streamlined Workflows Field data management is a burden when constantly switching applications. Data quality is compromised by complicated import and export processes. Trimble Positions means Fully integrated data management process Fully integrated into the Esri ArcGIS environment from ArcGIS for Desktop, ArcGIS for Server, to ArcGIS for Windows Mobile and ArcPad software

20 Trimble Positions Workflow
