Mobile GIS
 Mobile GIS enables field based personnel to capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display geographic information. This enables organizations to speed up analysis and decision making by using up-to-date, accurate spatial data.
Mobile GIS products include
- ArcGIS Mobile—An SDK powered by ArcGIS Server to build and deploy centrally managed, fully customized mobile applications that can synchronize with the server.
- ArcPad—An out-of-the-box, complete mobile mapping and field data collection solution that provides database access, mapping, GIS and global positioning system (GPS) integration.
- StreetMap Mobile Software Developer Kit—An SDK that allows developers to create custom mapping and navigation applications for in-vehicle systems or personal navigation devices.
- Mobile ArcGIS Desktop Systems

Taking GIS into the field opens up new opportunities for more up-to-date and accurate GIS data. |
Firefighters, police officers, engineering crews, surveyors, utility workers, soldiers, census workers, field biologists, and more use mobile GIS to complete the following tasks.
- Field Mapping—Create, edit, and utilize GIS maps while in the field
- Asset Inventories—Create and maintain an inventory of asset locations and attribute information
- Asset Maintenance—Update asset location, condition, and schedule maintenance
- Inspections—Maintain digital records and locations of field assets for legal code compliance and ticketing
- Incident Reporting—Document the location and circumstances of incidents and events for further action or reporting
- GIS Analysis and Decision Making—Perform measuring, buffering, geoprocessing, and other GIS analysis while in the field
ESRI's developments in mobile GIS have enabled GIS to be taken into the field as digital maps on compact, mobile computers, providing field access to enterprise geographic information.
