GIS NEWS: New Mobile Solutions for Enhancing Geospatial Awareness and Collaboration for Anyone, Anywhere


Today’s geospatial enterprise is rapidly becoming fully mobilized.  From the warfighter in the battlefield to first responders, field service workers and other dispersed employees working in remote locations, mobile geospatial intelligence solutions are paramount for enhanced situational awareness, effective collaboration and improved decision making. But given the major challenges of big, complex maps and imagery, inconsistent connectivity and a user community who requires ease of use and demands the ability to share data across heterogeneous working environments, building a useful mobile geoint application can be harder than it first appears.
After nearly 18 months in development, we are particularly excited to announce the release of our TerraGo Mobile® for AndroidTM solution.  This easy-to-use, affordable solution allows users of Android devices running version 3 or above to access and update intelligent, portable, interactive GeoPDF® maps and imagery with georeferenced notes, audio, photo, video and Web services. It also enables field data collection using Geoforms that can be easily updated and shared with anyone, anywhere.
In conjunction with this announcement, we also unveiled updated versions of our widely deployed TerraGo Publisher® for ArcGIS®, TerraGo Composer® for Adobe® Acrobat® and TerraGo Toolbar®.  These latest versions, coupled with the new TerraGo Collaboration Manager, work in concert to optimize our enterprise-to-edge geospatial collaboration workflow.
The TerraGo Collaboration Manager streamlines the preparation of geospatial information specifically for TerraGo Mobile for Android users. Launched from within TerraGo Toolbar and TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS, the TerraGo Collaboration Manager promotes mobility and enables user-created, custom Geoforms for field data capture. Now anyone can take enterprise-class maps and imagery with them into the most remote environments imaginable, personalize those maps with photos, notes and forms and then easily share some or all of their geospatial information using common systems like email, Bluetooth or Drop Box.
TerraGo Mobile for Android can be individually downloaded at no charge from our website and/or distributed across enterprises by organizations under a TerraGo Support, Maintenance and Distribution agreement. We plan to rapidly add new features and port to new platforms based on customer demand. We look forward to receiving your feedback at mobilefeedback@terragotech.com.
