TerraGo Mobile for Android Brought to Life

It is no surprise that today’s geospatial enterprise has gone mobile.  Based on rapid advances in mobile solutions for consumers, government and enterprise users, we imagine that the future of geospatial technologies will keep moving in this direction in a very aggressive fashion.

In addition, for geospatial solutions to be truly effective they need to fully support those in the field – from the warfighter to employees dispersed in disconnected environments, providing advanced collaboration for enhancing decision-making.

Late last year, TerraGo announced the release of its TerraGo Mobile for Android solution, which allows users of Android devices running version 3 or above to access and update intelligent, portable, interactive GeoPDF maps and imagery.  This includes using georeferenced notes, audio, photo, video and Web services.

What is unique about this solution is that us enables anyone – even the novice GIS user – to collection data in the field using geoforms that can be easily updated and shared with pretty much anyone, anywhere.

Following is a video demonstration of TerraGo Mobile for Android.

For any reader who wants to view a map with TerraGo Mobile for Android, you must first process the GeoPDF with the TerraGo Collaboration Manager.

The TerraGo Collaboration Manager must also be used to create geoforms for the collection of structured data.

“Now anyone can take maps and imagery with them into the most remote environments imaginable, and personalize those maps with photos, notes and forms, and share them with anyone anywhere,” said George Demmy, TerraGo CTO, in a recent press release.
