Subject: Re: [gislist] Mobile GIS

From:  Margaret Gooding



I would agree with this assessment. We use the same setup at our
office, whereas another of our offices uses ArcPad. The field people
would rather use our GPS units than the other office's ones. You can
create data dictionaries in Pathfinder Office by using a wizard that
make it very easy for field people to input their data. It is easy to
differentially correct the data in Pathfinder office and export to
many formats (we use shapefiles)
