GIS Cloud Solutions for GPS Data Collection

Cloud GIS offers a range of new possibilities to GIS users. More than ever, we can quickly distribute GIS data to people throughout our organization by utilizing standard web interfaces and smart device applications. As a result, Cloud GIS has provided a new way of field data collection for GPS users. Smart devices are becoming GIS and GPS data collection tools. This presentation will focus on the advantages and benefits of using Cloud GIS apps, such as Esri’s Collector and Trimble’s TerraFlex, as well as some limitations that these applications offer in relation to traditional GPS mapping software platforms. Also, we will explore high-accuracy GPS receivers that can enhance our smart device location accuracy, such as the Trimble R1 and R2.
