ArcPad - For Mobile Devices

ArcPad is software for mobile GIS and field mapping applications using handheld and mobile devices. ArcPad provides field-based personnel with the ability to capture, analyze, and display geographic information, without the use of costly and outdated paper map books.

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.

    GIS Data Collection. Create, edit, analyze, and display GIS data in the form of industry-standard vector and raster image files.

    Integrate External Hardware. ArcPad supports field devices, such as GPS receivers, rangefinders, and integrated digital cameras with GIS data collection. Input from these devices is stored within the GIS.

    ArcPad Tools for ArcGIS Desktop. ArcPad tools for mobile geodatabase editing allow you to check out your GIS data using ArcGIS Desktop, edit in the field with ArcPad, and post changes back to the central GIS database.

    Symbology and Style Sheets. ArcPad enables high-quality mapping on mobile devices through supporting ArcGIS symbology and style sheets.

    Language Support. ArcPad accommodates localized languages.

    GPScorrect for ESRI ArcPad


    The Trimble GPScorrect extension for ESRI ArcPad software lets you take full control of your Trimble GPS receiver and adds the power of differential correction to ensure you have the most reliable and accurate data for your GIS.

    Because the GPScorrect extension lets you record detailed GPS information, you can improve the accuracy of your GPS positions from 10 meters to submeter or even subfoot (30 cm), depending on the environment and your GPS receiver. For differential correction of your Shapefiles you have a choice of postprocessing software. Use the Trimble GPS Analyst extension for ESRI ArcGIS software for a stream-lined workflow between the field and the office. Or use the popular GPS Pathfinder® Office software for a flexible data processing solution.

    The GPScorrect extension integrates seamless control of a GeoExplorer® series handheld or a GPS Pathfinder receiver into ArcPad, so you can take full advantage of the power and precision of your Trimble GPS receiver.

    The simple interface makes it easy to configure GPS quality control and real-time correction settings. You can manage settings effortlessly in the field and get instant, detailed feedback from the GPS and real-time status screens.

    Combining advanced accuracy with simple configuration, GPScorrect extension for ESRI ArcPad software ensures you get the most out of your mobile GIS application.

    Key features:

  • More accurate and reliable position data with differential postprocessing in the office
  • Logging of H-Star data from a GeoXH® handheld or GPS Pathfinder ProXH receiver, for additional accuracy with H-Star postprocessing in the office
  • Choice of the Trimble GPS Analyst extension for ESRI ArcGIS or GPS Pathfinder Office software for postprocessing
  • Easy and complete connection, setup, and status reporting for any Trimble GeoExplorer series handheld or GPS Pathfinder receiver from within ArcPad
  • Real-time differential correction (correction sources depend on GPS receiver used)
  • Mission planning in the field to increase productivity

    GPS Analyst
    Streamlined GPS Data Processing
    Inside ArcGIS

    The Trimble® GPS Analyst extension for ArcGIS® will streamline your workflow and improve your productivity by enabling you to work directly with GPS data inside your personal geodatabase. Because GPS Analyst extension comes with Trimble's proven differential correction tools, you can be sure you have the best quality GPS data.

    The GPS Analyst extension is the only software that allows you to differentially correct your GPS data directly inside ArcGIS Desktop software. Depending on the environment and your GPS receiver, differential correction can improve the accuracy of your GPS positions from 10 meters to submeter, and better. With Trimble's new H-Star technology you can achieve accuracies of subfoot (30 cm) and even 8 inches (20 cm) with the GPS Pathfinder® ProXH receiver.
