2 Agenda GIS in the field or office? Considerations ArcPad 7.1 Overview ArcPad 7.1 Highlights Wrap up ArcGIS Engine Applications ArcGIS Server, emphasis on Mobile ArcGIS Server Overview SDK and Mobile SDK Applications and Workflow Publish, Design and Deploy Consideration and Components Readings, Links and Training

3 What is Mobile GIS? Extension of GIS beyond the office and into the mobile environment Solutions centered on Geographic information forming a geocentric system Solutions integrating Geographic information into existing deployments, forming a geospatially-enabled system

4 Mobile GIS in the Enterprise Leveraging GIS in the Mobile Enterprise Revolves around ensuring mobility and integrating GIS services and capabilities Enables mobile enterprise to take their GIS to the field Provides system for client-server enabling the mobile enterprise and its workforce

5 Server based mobile GIS Taking GIS to the Field Adding value of spatial-context Knowledge-enables enables mobile workers Server-Enabling your Mobile Workers Access spatial information on-demand Feeds the enterprise with timely and accurate information

6 Things to remember! A couple of things to keep in mind. The person(s) that will use this technology. The vision and dexterity (fingers) of the user. How much geography must be displayed. How the user must interact and what data needs to be updated, synced or transmitted. Connectivity (Never, Intermittent, Always) This is by no means a definitive list!

7 ArcPad Overview ArcPad overview ArcPad 7.1 Highlights Wrap-up

8 ArcPad For handheld & mobile systems Many devices Consumer Rugged Integrated GPS Handheld Tablet Ultra Mobile PC Integration with GPS, rangefinders, cameras Strong mapping, data collection tools Wide range of field applications Extends Geodabase to the field through disconnected editing

9 ArcPad 7.x Releases Status ArcPad and ArcPad Application Builder October 2006 ArcPad 7.1 and ArcPad Application Builder 7.1 Released end of 2007

10 Overview ArcPad overview ArcPad 7.1 Highlights Wrap-up

12 Relationships supported in to many relationships Each feature can support multiple sets of attributes in separate tables Database rules supported in data rather than forms Easier to create forms 124 Steel 5-Jul-87 Don t need to use scripts to manage relationships PoleI Insulato Type D125 r Woo # 7-Jun d 200k v PoleI D Type 123 Woo d Built 8-Oct k v 123 PoleI 3 Insulat 200k Inspect Date D or# v or Jian 1-Jan Elvin 5-Feb-04 12

13 Data Manager for ArcGIS 9.2 An extension for ArcGIS Desktop 9.2 A toolbar in ArcMap ArcPad Tools for ArcToolBox to automate repeatable tasks Enhanced Desktop tools with streamlined data flow experience Check in/out from different machines Data forms can be safely modified without affecting data rules Password protection or encryption for data (optional)

14 Enhanced Desktop Tools Model ArcMap Pre 7.1 ArcPad Tools Shapefiles ArcPad 6.0 ArcPad 7.0 ArcPad 7.1 Interactive Geodatabase ArcMap ArcPad Data Manager Automatable ArcPad AXF ArcPad 7.1 ArcPad Geoprocessing Tools 14

15 Related Tables Support Geodatabase feature classes including relationships are extracted to a single ArcPad AXF File The user will be able to edit the features as well as the related tables in the field

16 Introduction to AXF ArcPad s relational data format Shapefiles in a relational database Is it a new format? - No & Yes No It is based on Microsoft s SQL Server Compact Edition, an emerging standard mobile database format Yes It is new to ArcPad as a supported format for feature storage and delivering many new capabilities How are AXF files created and managed Using the new ArcPad tools : ArcPad Data Manager (ArcMap Extension) ArcPad Geoprocessing Tools (ArcToolbox) User experience is the same as with shapefiles

17 Data capture Point, line, polygon, text Geometry, attributes Existing or new features Editing tools Insert, append, move vertices Move, rotate, scale, resize features Snapping Undo Offsets Repeated attributes Segmented line features Editing of Graphics layer Field sketches and notes Data Capture and Editing

18 Using a GPS in ArcPad View GPS Position Window Set GPS preferences Capture options Quality options Alerts GPS height Activate GPS Tracklog Select feature to edit Select GPS capture tool GPS point capture GPS vertex capture GPS streaming vertices capture

19 Other data capture devices Rangefinders Used to take offset measurements distance, bearing, inclination In ArcPad, offset measurement are automatically transferred to the reference position Cameras Photos can be associated with features or photo layers EXIF support Photos can be viewed with the identify and Hyperlink tools

20 QuickProject Quickly create a new data capture project ArcPad map Point, polyline and polygon shapefiles Custom input forms Category values can be edited

21 Streetmap Extension Is in ArcPad 7.1 core functionality Supports SDC format Address geocoding, reverse geocoding and routing Bundles with North American data from Tele Atlas

22 Find Easy to use query builder Search multiple fields And/Or searches Results include distance and direction From current GPS position Center of map Can be sorted

23 Using customization in ArcPad Why customize ArcPad Enforce data integrity Combine common tasks Automate tasks Add new tools or functionality Quickform tool Create simple custom input forms from within ArcPad No programming required More customization options are available using ArcPad Application Builder

24 QueryForm Custom query for Find tool Created using ArcPad Application Builder

25 Other enhancements in 7.1 Label Tool Read-only layers Snapping tolerance for each layer

26 Overview ArcPad overview ArcPad 7.1 Highlights Wrap-up on ArcPad

27 Wrap-up There is more to come for ArcPad ArcPad 7.1 is a major release including support of related tables, QuickProject, Streetmap extension, better data management tools and other enhancements

28 ArcGIS Engine? What is it? This is an SDK or Software Developer Kit Set of mapping components and developer resources that lets programmers add dynamic mapping and GIS capabilities to existing applications or build new custom mapping and GIS solutions. This is not a product for end users; it is designed for people who are developing applications. The developer builds applications based on ArcGIS Engine and delivers those programs to end users. Role in mobile space Build Windows Applications Think of Laptops and tablets (Windows) ESRI supports Ink technology used on tablets

29 ArcGIS Engine Components There are Five parts of ArcGIS Engine as outlined below and illustrated to the right: Base Services - The core GIS ArcObjects required for almost any GIS application, such as feature geometry and display. Data Access - ArcGIS Engine provides access to a wide variety of raster and vector formats including the power and flexibility of the geodatabase. Map Presentation - ArcObjects for map creation and display with symbology, labeling, and thematic mapping capabilities including custom applications. Developer Components - High-level user interface controls for rapid application development and a comprehensive help system for effective development. Extensions - ArcGIS Engine Runtime is deployable with the standard functionality or with additional extensions for advanced functionality. Each of these parts, including the extension functionality, is made available through the ArcGIS Engine Developer Kit. The ArcGIS Engine Runtime and its extensions, although integral factors in the development of a custom GIS application, specifically involve application deployment and are, therefore, considered separately.

31 Additional Questions Handhelds? Connectivity? Syncing? How about caching when connectivity is not available? How about inexpensive cell phones, everybody has one? What does the future hold? What is needed to take this next step?
