The document discusses Esri's ArcGIS mobile GIS platform. It provides an overview of how ArcGIS supports mobile mapping applications across different devices to allow field workers and citizens to access and share geographic information. Key capabilities of ArcGIS Mobile include publishing maps on the web, building mobile solutions, collecting and updating geographic data in real-time from the field, and enhancing access and collaboration with a common map across different devices. It also highlights considerations for developing effective mobile GIS applications, such as GPS, connectivity needs, screen visibility outdoors, and battery life.
