The GeoPDF Opportunity
Mobile solutions that are
easy to use and inexpensive can eliminate
technology boundaries, allowing greater access
and input from field personnel.
Enable field personnel and leverage GIS investments. Solutions to provide for daily workflow requirements and to increase effectiveness in times of emergency events to protect infrastructure, save lives and property.
Field collection
• GIS/GPS Cameras and handheld units allow for features and associated data.
• Digital pens can create new GIS features – that are added in the edit mode, can fill data forms or mark up engineering drawings
Predetermined selections such as check boxes or “closed lists” provide for easy field data entry.
