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 -

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
Conceptual Documentation, API Reference, VS components & templates
Sample Code
Application SDK API • Extends ready-to-deploy applications • Creates new tasks or customizing existing functions • Available for Windows and Windows Mobile

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
WPF
Windows Mobile Mobile Application

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(@“\Streets.rs"); StreetMapDataset _dataset = new StreetMapDataset(@“\_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 target = new List(housefilter.GetResults()); List result = List(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;
