What is mobile GIS?

• Carry your maps to the field • Collect and update geographic information • Track and geo-collaborate • Improve efficiency and accuracy • Rapid data collection and seamless data integration • Helps to make informed and timely decisions • Replaces paper based workflows

ArcGIS for Windows Mobile

• Client Applications - Rapid Deployment of Maps, Apps & Projects - Task-based, Workflow Driven User Experience - Disconnected - Synchronization of Data between Field & Office

• API - Coarse-grained .NET API - Extend client applications - Build custom solutions

ArcGIS for Windows Mobile

• Simplified data collection experience • Support for attachments • Geometry editing (WM) • Improved GPS display • Waypoint navigation • Identity and auto-populate of attributes • Portal support • Packaging improvements • MPC project verification

Software Developer Kit

Software Developer Kit

Core SDK API • Builds new field applications

from scratch • Embed GIS into existing

Line-of-business applications

• Connected or occasionally connected filed operations

Application SDK API • Extends ready-to-deploy

applications • Creates new tasks or

customizing existing functions

• Available for Windows and Windows Mobile

Conceptual Documentation, API Reference, VS components & templates

Application SDK

Application SDK - Introduction • Designed for ready-to-deploy tablet and Windows Mobile

applications • Allows developers to customize the applications

- Changes existing tasks/functions - Integrates new business logic and Implementations

New tasks Custom map layer

Custom menu items

Application SDK – Key Concepts • Task

- Defines a workflow for field operation - Embeds organization-specific business logic - Creates an entry on Select Task Page - Implements ITask interface - Example

- Custom Data Collection Task

Application SDK – Key Concepts (cont.)

• Extension - Customize behavior of existing Tasks or functions - Needs to hook up to an extensible point in framework - Implements ProjectExtension - Either modifies existing workflow or introduce new

business logic - Example:

- Rangefinder Extension

Application SDK – Conceptual Architecture

Application SDK – Extensible Points

• MapPage • CollectFeaturesTask • View/Edit Attributes Page and

Dialog • MenuDialog • SearchTask/WorkList Task • SettingsPage • Measuring Methods • and more…

Application Extension

How to Get Started?

• Project Templates - Seamless integration with Visual Studio IDE - Creates Task or ProjectExtension solutions - Supports both Windows and Windows Mobile - Includes VS project for MPC

• Developer Help - Discusses architecture of the framework - Reveals extensible points with code snippets

• SDK Samples - Implemented in C# - Demonstrates various extensible points

What’s new with the Core Framework

• New core libraries to reference • Namespace

- WinForms Namespace ( MapActions & Sketch) - FeatureCaching (MobileServices)

• Components pulled from designer • Attachment support • Key Class changes

- FeatureSource replaces FeatureLayer - Symbols replace PaintOperations - FeatureSyncAgent replaces FeatureLayer/AnnoSyncAgent

`

Migration your Applications

Demo - Core SDK Migration

• Key Updates made - Component declarations\initialization - Namespace changes - New core libraries to reference - Set Target platform - New MapCache

• Other Changes - FeatureSources replacing FeatureLayer - Generic Graphic layers - Extent is now property not method

Trimble Positions Toolkit

• Enhances data collection capabilities - Positional accuracy - Applies estimated accuracy to features during collection - GeoExplorer series devices

• Current release (SDK only) - Trimble GPS construction methods - Post-processing capability

SDK - Routing

Routing

RouterFactoryClass rfc = new RouterFactoryClass(); IRouter _route = rfc.CreateRouter(@“<PATH>\Streets.rs"); StreetMapDataset _dataset = new StreetMapDataset(@“<PATH>\_navteq_na.navmap"); StreetMapLayer _layer = new StreetMapLayer(_dataset); _dataset.Open(); mapControl1.MapLayers.Add(_layer);

Routing

//reverse geocode location = _dataset.FindLocation(mapCoordinate);

//geocode Locator locator = _dataset.Locators[0]; LocatorFilter statefilter = locator.GetNextFilter(); LocatorFilter cityfilter = locator.GetNextFilter(); List<LocatorResult> target = new List<LocatorResult>(housefilter.GetResults()); List<Location> result = List<Location>(target[0].GetLocationCandidates());

Routing

StopCollectionClass stopsCollection = new StopCollectionClass(); //Add StopClass to the StopCollectionClass stopsCollection.Add(); IDirections directions = _route.Solve(stopsCollection, null); IDirectionsSummary summary = directions.Summary; IDirectionCollection directionCollection = directions.Items;

Roadmap

What’s Next?

• Holistic lab - Week of April 16th in Redlands

• Next release on the 10.1 release schedule - Name change - ArcGIS for Windows Mobile - Change in version number – 3.0

What’s Next?

• Table support • Relationship class support • Laser range finder integration • Ad-hoc schema creation • Routing

What’s Next?

• New tablet application - WPF Runtime

• Trimble Positions - SDK and Application extension - Support for Real-time Correction - Greater device support
