What is mobile GIS?

•

Carry your maps to the field

•

Collect and update geographic information

•

Track and geo-collaborate

•

Improve efficiency and accuracy

•

Rapid data collection and seamless data integration

•

Helps to make informed and timely decisions

•

Replaces paper based workflows

ArcGIS for Windows Mobile

•

•

Client Applications -

Rapid Deployment of Maps, Apps & Projects

-

Task-based, Workflow Driven User Experience

-

Disconnected

-

Synchronization of Data between Field & Office

API -

Coarse-grained .NET API

-

Extend client applications

-

Build custom solutions

Software Developer Kit

Software Developer Kit

Core SDK API • Builds new field applications from scratch • Embed GIS into existing Line-of-business applications • Connected or occasionally connected filed operations

Conceptual Documentation, API Reference, VS components & templates

Sample Code

Application SDK API • Extends ready-to-deploy applications • Creates new tasks or customizing existing functions • Available for Windows and Windows Mobile

Application SDK

Application SDK - Introduction •

Designed for ready-to-deploy tablet and Windows Mobile applications

•

Allows developers to customize the applications -

Changes existing tasks/functions

-

Integrates new business logic and Implementations

New tasks

Custom map layer Custom menu items

Application SDK – Key Concepts •

Task -

Defines a workflow for field operation

-

Embeds organization-specific business logic

-

Creates an entry on Select Task Page

-

Implements ITask interface

-

Example -

Custom Data Collection Task

Application SDK – Key Concepts (cont.)

•

Extension -

Customize behavior of existing Tasks or functions

-

Needs to hook up to an extensible point in framework

-

Implements ProjectExtension

-

Either modifies existing workflow or introduce new business logic

-

Example: -

Rangefinder Extension

Migration your Applications

Demo - Core SDK Migration

•

•

Key Updates made -

Component declarations\initialization

-

Namespace changes

-

New core libraries to reference

-

Set Target platform

-

New MapCache

Other Changes -

FeatureSources replacing FeatureLayer

-

Generic Graphic layers

-

Extent is now property not method

Trimble Positions Toolkit

•

•

Enhances data collection capabilities -

Positional accuracy

-

Applies estimated accuracy to features during collection

-

GeoExplorer series devices

Current release (SDK only) -

Trimble GPS construction methods

-

Post-processing capability

SDK - Routing

Routing

RouterFactoryClass rfc = new RouterFactoryClass(); IRouter _route = rfc.CreateRouter(@“\Streets.rs"); StreetMapDataset _dataset = new StreetMapDataset(@“\_navteq_na.navmap"); StreetMapLayer _layer = new StreetMapLayer(_dataset); _dataset.Open(); mapControl1.MapLayers.Add(_layer);

Routing

//reverse geocode location = _dataset.FindLocation(mapCoordinate); //geocode Locator locator = _dataset.Locators[0]; LocatorFilter statefilter = locator.GetNextFilter(); LocatorFilter cityfilter = locator.GetNextFilter(); List target = new List(housefilter.GetResults()); List result = List(target[0].GetLocationCandidates());

Routing

StopCollectionClass stopsCollection = new StopCollectionClass(); //Add StopClass to the StopCollectionClass stopsCollection.Add(); IDirections directions = _route.Solve(stopsCollection, null); IDirectionsSummary summary = directions.Summary; IDirectionCollection directionCollection = directions.Items;
