7. GIS Data is Expensive
More field data collection
training due to promotions or
turn-overs
Keeping you “Current”
Obsolete data collectors
Software Updates /
Incompatibility Issues
Equipment parts and service Unexpected licensing fees

8. GIS Field Data Collection Workflow
1. Walk up to the features
2. Position equipment “Just right” for best results
3. Wait for reliable signal (if you can even get one)
4. Tap in notes and navigate through menus
5. Verify everything is good/reliable
6. Walk to the next feature, Repeat steps.
GPS/GNSS

9. GIS Field Data Collection Workflow
Multiple Features
in both small and
large areas
Urban tree mapping,
electric poles, etc.
Limited Access
Private Property
No Satellite Signal
Dense canopy, sky
towers, heave clouds,
etc.
Visual Obstructions
Dense foliage,
branches, fences,
towers, etc.
Inclement Weather
Extreme heat, freezing
temperatures, heavy
snow fall, high winds,
etc.
Uncontrollable Environmental Conditions

10. Field Element Hazards
Inaccessible Terrain
Steep Slopes, Ravines,
Natural Habitat
Dangerous Areas
Next to Highway, Near Heavy
Equipment, Above Deep Waters

11. What If…..
Remotely
Position your features
without having to
occupy them
Provide
Performance at
affordable price
Allow
You to measure other
attributes
Accommodate
Multiple workflows
Connect
Right in to your
current system

27. BYOD: GPS/GNSS

28. The Demand for High-Accuracy
GIS Data is Trending Up
Collecting accurate horizontal
and vertical data is now
cheaper than anytime in
history
More accurate data enables
better and quicker
decision-making
Some regulatory
requirements on spatial data
accuracy are tightening
New technologies like
Augmented/Virtual reality
and BIM Require accurate 3D
spatial data
“Big Data” analysis tools
benefit from more accurate
spatial data

A Market Problem
Obstructions Limited AccessInclement Weather Inaccessible Terrain Dangerous Areas
GNSS doesn’t work everywhere.
Buildings, trees, terrain block
GNSS signals
Infrastructure exists in locations
where high-accuracy GNSS
doesn’t work
For GNSS-unfriendly environments,
orgs either estimate the locations
of assets or use total stations with
complex, expensive hardware and
workflows

30. The Solution
Collector for ArcGIS Laser Technology Eos Positioning Systems
Has become the most widely used
high-accuracy GNSS data collection
software for BYOD
Are leaders in high-accuracy laser
rangefinders and encoders
Are leaders in high-accuracy GNSS
receivers for BYOD
Centimeter-accurate mapping in places where GNSS doesn’t work.
Total station-like workflow completely in the Collector environment
using Collector, laser rangefinder and RTK GNSS.

31. Laser Mapping Measurements
Bring Total Station-like Workflow into Collector for iOS
