A Review of Mobile GIS AppsDecember 14th, 2011 by Matt Sheehan
Mobile GIS App ThoughtsGood GIS apps are now just appearing in the various app stores. Cross platform solutions are a must. As a company, we rarely now get clients asking for a single platform solution. The days of build this for the IPhone or IPad only are gone. ESRI are putting increasing effort into their mobile solutions. They are providing some great tools for companies like ours to build custom mobile GIS solutions for clients. It would be nice to see a good open source mobile GIS app launched into the app stores. An Openlayers/Geoserver mobile app would be a very nice addition. We like the standard Apple design (see WolfGIS), it looks very slick and professional. But we cannot help preferring apps which have their own unique feel and design. One style does not fit all. These will evolve over time. Tags: Android, arcgis, Geoserver, GIS, IPad, iphone, mobile GIS apps, Playbook, review Categories: Mobile ArcGIS, Mobile GIS |
