ArcPad 5 Is Now Available Mapping and GIS for Mobile SystemsArcPad leverages existing mapping and GIS software systems and databases. ArcPad supports vector map and raster image display, which includes industry-standard shapefile and LizardTech’s MrSID imaging language formats. Data obtained in the field can easily be uploaded into the master database in the office. Users simply create custom input forms from their existing GIS database for use in ArcPad. ArcPad also offers integration with an optional global positioning system (GPS) or differential global positioning system (supports the National Maritime Electronics Association [NMEA] and Trimble Standard Interface Protocol). This capability enhances GPS technology by allowing you to view, edit, and add features to your current position in the context of a map display. ArcPad is a GIS and mapping system everyone can use. Potential applications include property damage assessment, habitat studies, military fieldwork, street sign inventory, road pavement management, power pole maintenance, and meter reading. Availability ArcPad runs on Windows CE 2.11, 95/98, NT, and 2000 platforms. Supported Windows CE devices include Aero from Compaq, Cassiopeia from Casio, and Jornada from HP. The ArcPad Software Development Kit, scheduled for release in summer 2000, will give developers the ability to build custom field mapping solutions using powerful ArcPad components. ArcPad software is sold independently of any hardware device.
