Mobile GIS is the use of geographic data in the field on mobile devices. It`s an evolution of how the enterprise database is used and managed within an organization. Mobile GIS integrates three essential components; global positioning system (GPS), rugged handheld computers, and GIS software. Bringing these technologies together makes the enterprise database directly accessible to field based personnel - whenever and wherever it is required.
When firefighters or emergency workers are out managing the impacts of natural disasters they need to have current and accurate information to make decisions that will affect lives and resources. That`s why mobile GIS is imperative; field teams can now respond to changing conditions and immediately make important management decisions to evacuate residents, change in-field management tactics, inform other crews of the magnitude of the disaster - all by using up-to-the-minute data.
With the streamlined workflow of mobile GIS, emergency workers, inspectors, maintenance teams, utility crews, and many other field workers have real-time access to the enterprise data they require to get their job done with confidence, while they`re in the field.
