Mobile GIS Overview 3
What is mobile GIS? Extension of GIS from office into the field With a mobile GIS solution you can: Use maps in the field Collect and update geographic information Track and geo-collaborate with others in the field Use GIS tools to make decisions in the field 4
Key features of a mobile GIS solution A mobile GIS includes a range of key features that are critical to any successful deployment: Open mobile devices Local maps and data Accurate location GIS editing tools Query & spatial analysis Database synchronization 5
Benefits of mobile GIS Improves efficiency and accuracy of field operations Improves completeness, currency, and accuracy of GIS data Improves quality of geographic analysis and decisions Increases the value of your enterprise GIS Damage assessment Location awareness and collaboration Locating and inspecting assets 6
Who uses mobile GIS? Field Operations Workforce Locate assets Inspect assets Public Safety Officials First responder reporting Emergency operations coordination and communication Citizens, Planners and Executives Volunteered Geographic Information/ service requests Executive Dashboard/ mobile Common Operating Picture 7
Mobile GIS challenges Increase productivity of the mobile workforce Many different mobile GIS applications Application focus and usability Data provisioning and synchronization (office/field) Field connectivity Adverse weather conditions Rapidly developing/changing technology Trade-offs Device capabilities Size and weight Ruggedness Battery life Price GPS accuracy No mobile GIS solution can meet all the needs of all mobile applications 8
