Overview
- Any GPS that can output coordinate information in NMEA can be used with SOLO Field
- Offers a wide range of functionality and advanced capabilities
- Supports ESRI Shapefile, AutoCAD DXF, MicroStation DGN, MapInfo MIF or TDS UDF basemap formats, as well as major image file formats such as TIF, JPG and DOQ
SOLO Field is fast, accurate and simple to operate, whether you're collecting GIS data for the first time or updating and improving your existing databases.
SOLO Field's intuitive menus and dialog boxes make it easy to map points, lines and areas, as well as navigate, calculate distances and areas, and view and edit collected data in the field. If you're familiar with Windows OS, you'll be familiar with SOLO Field.
Using
SOLO Field, you can gather position data via GPS or laser rangefinder, or by selecting a position on your basemap. You can work with ESRI SHP, AutoCAD DXF, MicroStation DGN, MapInfo MIF or TDS UDF basemap formats, as well as major image file formats such as TIF, JPG and DOQQ. And you can export your data directly from your data collector into a variety of common formats.
Easily customise data collection forms to layouts that work best for you. You can also generate forms from your existing databases. SOLO’s use of the touchscreen, plus intuitive menus and helpful dialog boxes make it easy to map points, lines and areas. And SOLO also provides a comprehensive navigation tool, plus a search function that allows you to locate basemap features by attribute. You can even edit your existing basemap data in the field.
Works on Windows CE, WindowsMobile 5 and WindowsMobile 6 devices.
