Abstract

IOS based geodatabase collection for coal mining sites
Track: Mining and Geosciences
Authors: Andrew Schaer

The WVDEP is now using mobile applications to interact with statewide and national coal mining ArcGIS Geodatabases. The WVDEP has switched to Apple IOS devices to collect geodatabase information encoded to geo-tagged photographs using GeoSpatial Experts GeoJot+ and interact with complex geo-referenced maps using ESRI Collector and Avenza PDF Maps IOS applications. This has been done with both internal Apple GPS systems and external Bad Elf and Trimble GPS systems.
