Comparison of Mobile GIS applications
•
5 likes•2,646 views
The document compares several mobile GIS applications including both proprietary and open source options. It discusses platforms, features, and performance based on tests of common tasks. While open source applications have potential and are comparable to ArcPad in many ways, they still need more documentation, customization options, and support for professional sensors to be as full featured. New devices, interactions, and technologies also provide opportunities for mobile GIS applications.

- 53. Not open development, no public repositories
- 56. Very few spread
- 58. This kind of applications are growing in number
- 59. With a few more work is possible to add custom forms and POI creation to do asset inventory and maintenance and incidence reporting
- 61. The new boom of tablets provides bigger screens with small weights and good battery consumption
- 62. Multitouch screens require new interfaces
- 63. The number of users is astonishing
- 65. The spread of Layar is *15 the spread of ArcPad
- 66. ¿Could it be interesting for the GIS community to use mobile AR professionally?
- 68. Openlayers
- 70. We will keep an eye on those projects
- 72. Is built on top of Jgrass, so it has a lot of functionality
- 73. It works on tablet-PCs
- 75. GPS tool
- 77. Did we missed any important software?
- 78. What are the reasons for such a few results?
- 80. inventory and mantainment of assets
- 83. Performance is perfectly comparable and in some cases gvSIG Mobile is even faster
- 85. gvSIG Mobile (the most complete OS App) does not support rangefinder or dgps or camera and geometry editing is poor compared to ArcPad at this moment
- 87. Making the software easier to install and use
- 88. Expand the user and developer community
