ArcPad 10 Improvements & Compatabilities

On July 14, 2010, in ARCPAD, UNCATEGORIZED, by Eric Edmonds

ArcPad is designed for GIS professionals who require GIS capabilities in the field. It gives field-based personnel the ability to capture, edit, analyze, and display geographic information easily and efficiently.

In it’s latest version ArcPad 10, ESRI has enabled users access to ArcGIS Online basemaps, improved drawing speed and memory output, created a simple “quick capture” toolbar for collecting features, and made it easier to use and hyperlink cameras/photos.  For more information check out the ArcPad Team Blog.

Are you compatible?

1. The current version of GPS Analyst (v2.20) is not compatible with ArcGIS 10.

2. The current version of GPScorrect (v3.10) is not compatible with ArcPad 10.

If you try to install either of the Trimble software, they will receive an error message stating the version of ArcGIS/ArcPad is not compatible. Trimble is working on the compatibility issues and should have a compatible version out shortly.  In the meantime, we suggest that you downgrade to ArcGIS 9.3.1 or ArcPad 8.  And as always, let us know if you have any questions!

Trimble Found Alien Creatures!

On July 9, 2010, in OTHER, TRIMBLE, by Eric Edmonds

Just for fun Friday!…

Scientists have recently discovered a crossbred “human-like” species from Old Hickory Lake, Tennessee.  An Environmentalist was collecting wetland data using a Trimble handheld with the Timmons Group’s WetCorrect software when he stumbled across the alien creature.  He claims that

the species might have never been found if Trimble hadn’t partnered with Timmons Group to provide an integrated system for the field collection, management, and submittal of wetland delineation data. The solution combines Trimble Mapping & GIS handheld computers with the WetCollect™ wetland delineation software from Timmons Group to comply with the reporting requirements of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) which determines whether or not a wetland is a “water of the United States” and thus regulated under the federal Clean Water Act (CWA).

The discovery of the unique being has prompted massive geographical research using waterproof Trimble GIS Mapping Equipment.  Don’t believe me?  Watch this guy collect data in his pool! I wonder we he got scuba lessons…  We have posted pictures of this unknown creature on our Facebook page. Have a WONDERFUL WEEKEND!
