Benefits of Mobile GIS
Data Collection and Management
– Simple user interface
– Adaptable data layers
– Simultaneous data collection by
multiple field crew members
Benefits of Mobile GIS
Web Application
– Share data with clients,
stakeholders, office or
remote staff
– Can be public or private
Benefits of Mobile GIS
Team Communication
– Access Routes
– Site Condition Warnings
– Site Features
– Crew member locations
Example – Invasive Species
Detection
> Site assessments are quick
and accurate
> Allows for site prioritization
> Clients and remote staff can
quickly have “eyes on the
site”
Example – Mapping
Treatment Areas
> Detect ecological changes
> Track effectiveness of
herbicides, burns, plantings
> View pictures of previous
treatments

Example – Progress
Tracking
> Easily track multiple types of
field work
> Quickly assess scheduling
needs
Example – Web Map for
Clients and Stakeholders
> Quick adjustments to project
priorities and scope
> Adjustments to map layers
> Transparency of work
Mobile GIS – Lessons Learned
Benefits
> Accurate, Trimble R1 allows for submeteraccuracy
> Lower cost
> Simple user interface
> Cloud allows for collaboration and reduces upload hassle
> Software updates
Drawbacks
> Smartphone battery life
> Reliance on cell reception
> Mobile GIS is a tool in your toolbox
