ArcPad is software for mobile GIS and field mapping applications using handheld electronic devices. ArcPad provides field-based personnel with the ability to capture, analyze, and display geographic information.

We can supply Arcpad as an individual licence.

, or we can bundle it more economically with suitable PDA hardware. Quantity prices are available. Phone 07 3717 8555 for more detailed information.

With ArcPad, you can:
Perform reliable, accurate, and validated field data collection.
Integrate GPS, rangefinders, and digital cameras into GIS data collection.
Share enterprise data with field-workers for updating and decision making.
Improve the productivity of GIS data collection.
Improve the accuracy of the GIS database and make it more up to date.

Create, Edit, and Display GIS Data on most PDA devices, tablets or laptop PCs.
ArcPad allows users to create and edit spatial data (points, lines, and polygons) using input from the mouse pointer, pen, GPS, rangefinder, or camera. ArcPad includes editing tools for offsets, repeated attributes , segmented line features, snapping, and more. Compatible PDA's include HP iPaq series, and rugged devices such as Mobile Mapper 6, or TDS Recon or Nomad .

Users can record field sketches and notes into the data collection process with ArcPad. Sketches can be shared and exchanged as a graphics layer to and from ArcGIS Desktop. These sketches can become part of the geodatabase and the project record.

A key feature of ArcPad is the ability to display a variety of geographic and attribute information. ArcPad uses data directly from an individual's desktop or an organization's enterprise GIS without the need to convert to unique portable formats. ArcPad supports vector and raster data in a multilayered environment. Users can combine vector and raster data with the only limitations being the speed and memory capacity of the hardware in use.

ArcPad supports the following data formats: ESRI shapefile ArcPad graphics layers ArcPad photo layers MrSID MG2 and MG3 JPEG JPEG2000 TIFF GIF PNG Windows bitmap CADRG ArcIMS Image Services via access to the Internet

Attribute Data Collection
Attribute data is descriptive information about a location and can be edited and collected with ArcPad data collection forms. These forms include fields that are designed for input using a variety of devices (Windows Mobile devices, laptops, Tablet PCs). Forms include field options for text boxes, menus, calendar/date selection, and more. Simple data collection forms can be created quickly with ArcPad from a shapefile. More specialized custom forms can be created with ArcPad Application Builder and deployed on ArcPad.
