MobileMapper Software for GIS & Mapping

The new software suite provides a new graphical interface, common to Field and Office, and it includes all the features and options previously available in Mobile Mapping and MobileMapper 6 Office software.

In addition, MobileMapper Field enables collection of multiple features at the same time, the ability to label collected features, configuration of antenna height, and support of the DXF, MIF or CSV formats. It also offers a direct interface to Laser Technology Inc.'s (LTI) ranger finders. The direct interface enables automatic input of distance and bearing to a distant object to easily collect offsets.

MobileMapper Office has some new features including an on-screen distance measurement tool, a quality control option to filter out questionable points to improve overall data accuracy and quality. It also offers the ability to export collected data to a KML file, providing a way to plot and immediately verify position data against a GoogleTM Earth background map. "The new MobileMapper Field and MobileMapper Office offer a complete set of features and options for virtually every GIS application as well as cross-product compatibility", said Jacek Pietruczanis, GIS product marketing manager.

The MobileMapper 6 is a Microsoft Windows Mobile-based, wireless professional GPS/GIS handheld receiver with post-processing option capable of adding sub-meter accuracy performance. Ashtech offers professional GIS and mapping solutions to professionals in a wide range of markets, including forestry, agriculture, natural resources, governments, utilities, or oil and gas.
