T he Portland Area GIS Users Group (PAGIS) provides a forum for GIS professionals, students, and others interested in GIS to meet, share ideas, view demonstrations, and participate in technical discussions.  We are a network of people in the GIS community of the greater Portland area and believe that we can all learn from each other and improve our job performance.  The User Group provides a means and opportunity for users to get to know one another and exchange information and expertise. Anyone with an interest in GIS can attend meetings -- or present.   Let us add you to our mailing list to receive announcements of upcoming meetings and events.

Topic:

             Developing and deploying custom Mobile GIS solutions with ArcPad 7 and 8

Presenter:

             Craig Greenwald, GeoMobile Innovations Inc

ESRI's ArcPad enables field-based personnel to capture, analyze, and display geographic information using handheld and mobile devices. Sensors such as GPS and laser rangefinders provide accurate location and distance measurements that integrate seamlessly with field observations. However, no two field tasks are exactly the same and a "one size fits all" approach doesn't work well for everyone. In this workshop, participants will learn how to use ArcPad Studio, along with other industry standard tools and techniques, to customize ArcPad to deliver a streamlined user experience with focused tools for field data acquisition and maintenance. ArcPad Studio is included with every license in the new ArcPad 8.0 release, so customization is now open to all ArcPad users. Whether you're capturing conifers, inspecting icebergs, or updating utilities, you'll see how to adapt ArcPad to YOUR workflow by creating custom tools, forms, and scripts.
