Abstract
iPad GIS Field Data Collection Strategies (Connected and Disconnected)
Track: LiDAR and High Precision Scanning
Authors: Steven Santovasi
Demonstrate the workflows for collecting GIS field data on the iPad. These strategies take GIS data from different ESRI sources (SDE,GDB,SHP,DXF...) and utilize the ability to import the data locally onto the iPAD. GPS enabled location and base mapping services give you the ability to pinpoint data on the screen. Field location and attributes can be collected locally. Existing and uploaded data and attributes can be displayed. These strategies will include ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS iOS application, GeoReferrenced PDF maps, and varoius GIS iOS applications. The workflow will include utilizing ESRI geoprocessing and interoperability concepts to massage collected data back to its source GIS data. Also covered will be strategies for local imagery caching.
