What is ArcGIS for Windows Mobile, and is it Better Than ArcPad?

  
  
  

ArcGIS for Windows Mobile is the newest line of ESRI solutions for mobile GIS.  ESRI has stated that this product is the future of their mobile solutions, and some people are concerned about ArcPad becoming obsolete and unsupported. Don’t worry. ESRI has a history of supporting legacy products, so if ArcPad is working for you, you probably won’t need to replace it. ArcGIS for Windows Mobile isn’t better or worse than ArcPad - it is different.  Each product has unique advantages for different users and applications. Let’s take a look at some of the differences.

ArcPad has always been better described as “portable GIS” or “GIS Mini.”  ArcPad is a generic solution which is highly customizable in skilled hands. It is the everything- but-the-kitchen-sink software toolkit for Mobile GIS.

ArcGIS for Windows Mobile is part of the ArcGIS Server family.  While that sounds fancy (and expensive), it means that ArcGIS for Windows Mobile and ArcPad belong to different ESRI product lines. ArcGIS for Windows Mobile is much more focused around workflow solutions. Imagine bigger buttons and commonly repeated tasks applied to discrete projects. Let’s look at an example project.




Imagine maybe a landscape company that maintains hundreds of yards. It would make sense to equip your crew with a simple ArcGIS for Windows Mobile product that allows them to document simple work tasks and receive daily work orders without having to visit the main workshop. A daily map could be distributed to your workforce with directions to minimize travel time. Once they started the work, they could have a simple check list to go through before they leave, for example: Yard Mowed, Trees Trimmed, Pool Cleaned, Leaves and Branches Removed. You could also require them to document their time spent and verify job completion with a GPS and photographic record. This workflow would allow you to manage assets, assure customer satisfaction and evaluate personnel. While this may sound simple, having the right device and software in place is essential. ArcGIS for Windows Mobile is designed precisely with this type of custom workflow in mind. ArcPad is not. This type of customization would not be possible in an ArcPad environment.

Pros and Cons of ArcPad and ArcGIS for Windows Mobile

ArcPad:

  • Tons of functionality at a great entry level price
  • Great for experienced GIS users who want an entire suite of tools at their disposal out in the field
  • ArcPad while not difficult to operate can sometime be tricky
  • Practice makes for great ArcPad users, just like GIS in general
  • The work flow and processes would be familiar to an experienced GIS user, but often that is not the same person gathering the data
  • It would be difficult to prepare someone to use all the functionality of ArcPad in a one day training session

ArcGIS for Windows Mobile:

  • Very customizable and allows very specific workflows
  • Very easy to use in the field with a minimum amount of training
  • Since it is part of the ArcGIS Server platform it can work in a hosted environment and/or a disconnected environment
  • ArcGIS for Windows Mobile is the “cloud GIS” everyone is talking about 

In my next post I will discuss in more detail the benefits of ArcGIS for Windows Mobile and why people get really excited when talking about the product and the future.

ikeGPS Integrates Standard Mine Action Software

  
  
  

Wellington, New Zealand, November 27, 2009 – Surveylab today announced that its ikeGPS range now supports data collection software for mine action created by the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD). Utilizing the remote capture capability of ikeGPS, field staff working in many areas of the world now affected with mines and other ERW (explosive remnants of war) can complete data collection tasks whilst remaining safely outside suspected hazardous areas. Combining a GPS with rangefinder and compass, and with a completely integrated workflow, ikeGPS lets a user quickly and simply capture remote points from a safe and discreet location.

The data collection software is a component of the larger Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA) suite of software tools developed by GICHD for mine action. Based on ESRI’s ArcEngine™ and utilizing a MySQL™ database engine, IMSMA is a powerful information management tool. Following a collaborative development program, IMSMA Mobile, based on ESRI’s ArcPad™, now runs on Surveylab’s versatile ikeGPS data collection device. IMSMA Mobile allows users to take maps and data to the field and complete a variety of mine action field reports. With ikeGPS running IMSMA Mobile, the user can now reliably collect coordinate data from a safe distance to accurately map minefields and other hazards.

Surveylab is pleased to participate in mine action, and to provide technology and expertise to those organizations active in dealing with the threat of landmines, unexploded ordnance and other explosive remnants of war. ikeGPS presents a unique advantage to the men and women working in the field of mine action, whether they be military, civilian contractors or NGOs: in providing a rugged and reliable tool for users to capture geospatial data from a distance, ikeGPS keeps them safer and away from the suspected hazardous areas.

“Using ikeGPS for humanitarian demining operations is a logical choice – users perform data collection tasks for land release safely and quickly,” commented Leon Toorenburg Surveylab CEO. “Now we have introduced an ikeGPS software solution that adds IMSMA Mobile meaning ikeGPS is integrated into the complete IMSMA system to plan, manage, report and map the results of survey and field data collection.”

About Surveylab: Based in Wellington, New Zealand and McLean, Virginia, Surveylab develops and manufactures ikeGPS, the world's first integrated GPS/laser/camera device for GIS data capture. ikeGPS enables faster, safer, and more efficient data acquisition through remote photo positioning. Multiple targets up to 1,000 meters distant, especially in inaccessible or unsafe locations, can be accurately positioned from a single location. Users such as international NGOs, oil & gas industry, utilities, forestry, military engineers, and public works agencies have been using ikeGPS for years in situations where targets are difficult to reach or safety is a concern. More at www.ikeGPS.com

About IMSMA: IMSMA software, which supports data collection, storage, reporting, and mapping, provides an off-the-shelf GIS, database, and analysis toolset designed specifically for humanitarian mine action projects. The software was developed by the Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD, www.gichd.org), which provides it at no charge to the national authority set up by a country to manage demining operations.
