I have been looking into getting a tablet for a staff member.
Ruggedization is a criteria, but I got all the way up to a purchase
decision with Itronix and realized that there was no disk drive. I
could hook up an external drive but that defeated the purpose of
portability. I also wanted to get a GPS built into the tablet, again to
minimize the items being juggled in the woods. In the ideal world for
this staff member, he could take the tablet from desktop ( load roads,
topos, property shape files), to truck (navigate to property with GPS
and ArcGIS extension), to woods (walk to timber cruise points and
evaluate data in spreadsheet with what is actually there) and back
without having to transfer data from machine to machine. The tablet
would be used by our Director of Investment Analysis for land appraisals
for acquisition, evaluation of timber cruises, and due diligence work. I
realize All In One tends to mean you give up some features, but has
anyone got a recommendation for this sort of application? We use ArcGIS
8.3. Also looking into getting a GPS digital camera ( OK so now he has
to carry another piece of equipment)
Ideas?
Thanks in advance and I will sum.
