Introduction to MobileMapper Field & MobileMapper Office
MobileMapper Field and MobileMapper Office are two
complementary software programs designed for general-
purpose GIS mobile applications.
MobileMapper Field is the field program running on Microsoft
Windows Mobile or Windows Embedded Handheld.
MobileMapper Field allows you to:
• Log features in the field and enter their attributes
• Revisit features and update their attributes
• Define new categories of features (i.e. layers) and assign
as many types of attributes as necessary for future
projects.
• View background maps to help you more easily spot
features in the field.
• Collect raw data in the background to enhance the
accuracy of the collected positions at the office. This
requires the purchase of the Post-processing option for
MobileMapper Field, as well as the exclusive use of
MobileMapper Office to later process your field data.
MobileMapper Field integrates a large virtual keyboard to
make data entry easier in the field. When enabled, this
keyboard appears automatically on the screen every time you
tap inside a user-editable data field.
The MobileMapper Field keyboard is a good alternative to the
Microsoft operating system’s smaller on-screen keyboard. It
can however be disabled if the smaller Microsoft virtual
keyboard is more suitable in your case of use.
MobileMapper Field supports the built-in e-compass. See
Enabling/Disabling the E-Compass on page 61.
MobileMapper Office is dedicated to office work, in
coordination with, and support of MobileMapper Field.
MobileMapper Office allows you to:
• View the data collected in the field as Map jobs in a more
convenient way than in the field.
• Automatically search for the reference raw data that
match your field raw data and download them to your
computer.
• Post-process the reference and field raw data to determine
more accurate positions for all your features.
• Perform quality tests on the post-processing
• Display background maps
• Create new categories of layers for future projects
