;Abstract
:
:Free and open source software for GIS has evolved a lot from last years, faster than privative alternatives and now every FOSS4G expert has several very good tools to use on desktop PCs and web.
:The mobile field is a bit different and few experts are using free and open source mobile GIS, despite of good applications exist. Last years with the appearance of Android OS phones a new wave of map applications have been developed.
:At this talk, different mobile GIS applications will be analyzed, compared and tabulated.
:The objectives are:

*To provide a detailed list of FOSS mobile GIS applications
*Find how far are free and open source software from privative alternatives
*Help to choose the best tool for every project

:The main aspects of the comparison will be: functionality, complexity, customizability, formats compatibility and performance and the applications compared will be: ArcPad, gvSIG Mobile, BeeGIS, TangoGPS, Google Maps Mobile, gvSIG Mini, Layar and others

GIS Mobile Comparison

2010-09-01T08:00:44Z

Wiki-Visancal: /* Feature Comparison */

This page is used to describe comparisons between GeoSpatial Mobile applications to help users select suitable applications for their requirements.

= Abstract =

;Conference
:
:[http://2010.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2010]

;Title
:
:A comparison of Mobile GIS applications

;Authors
:

*Miguel Montesinos (CTO at [http://www.prodevelop.es Prodevelop]).
*Javier Carrasco (Geospatial Technical Leader at [http://www.prodevelop.es Prodevelop]).

;Abstract
:
:Free and open source software for GIS has evolved a lot from last years, faster than privative alternatives and now every FOSS4G expert has several very good tools to use on desktop PCs and web.
:The mobile field is a bit different and few experts are using free and open source mobile GIS, despite of good applications exist. Last years with the appearance of Android OS phones a new wave of map applications have been developed.
:At this talk, different mobile GIS applications will be analyzed, compared and tabulated.
:The objectives are:

*To provide a detailed list of FOSS mobile GIS applications
*Find how far are free and open source software from privative alternatives
*Help to choose the best tool for every project

:The main aspects of the comparison will be: functionality, complexity, customizability, formats compatibility and performance and the applications compared will be: ArcPad, gvSIG Mobile, BeeGIS, TangoGPS, Google Maps Mobile, gvSIG Mini, Layar and others

;Conference
:
:[http://2010.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2010]

;Title
:
:A comparison of Mobile GIS applications

;Authors
:

*Miguel Montesinos (CTO at [http://www.prodevelop.es Prodevelop]).
*Javier Carrasco (Geospatial Technical Leader at [http://www.prodevelop.es Prodevelop]).

;Abstract
:
:Free and open source software for GIS has evolved a lot from last years, faster than privative alternatives and now every FOSS4G expert has several very good tools to use on desktop PCs and web.
:The mobile field is a bit different and few experts are using free and open source mobile GIS, despite of good applications exist. Last years with the appearance of Android OS phones a new wave of map applications have been developed.
:At this talk, different mobile GIS applications will be analyzed, compared and tabulated.
:The objectives are:

*To provide a detailed list of FOSS mobile GIS applications
*Find how far are free and open source software from privative alternatives
*Help to choose the best tool for every project

:The main aspects of the comparison will be: functionality, complexity, customizability, formats compatibility and performance and the applications compared will be: ArcPad, gvSIG Mobile, BeeGIS, TangoGPS, Google Maps Mobile, gvSIG Mini, Layar and others

GIS Mobile Comparison

2010-09-01T07:50:35Z

Wiki-Visancal: /* tangoGPS */

This page is used to describe comparisons between GeoSpatial Mobile applications to help users select suitable applications for their requirements.

= Abstract =

;Conference
:
:[http://2010.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2010]

;Title
:
:A comparison of Mobile GIS applications

;Authors
:

*Miguel Montesinos (CTO at [http://www.prodevelop.es Prodevelop]).
*Javier Carrasco (Geospatial Technical Leader at [http://www.prodevelop.es Prodevelop]).

;Abstract
:
:Free and open source software for GIS has evolved a lot from last years, faster than privative alternatives and now every FOSS4G expert has several very good tools to use on desktop PCs and web.
:The mobile field is a bit different and few experts are using free and open source mobile GIS, despite of good applications exist. Last years with the appearance of Android OS phones a new wave of map applications have been developed.
:At this talk, different mobile GIS applications will be analyzed, compared and tabulated.
:The objectives are:

*To provide a detailed list of FOSS mobile GIS applications
*Find how far are free and open source software from privative alternatives
*Help to choose the best tool for every project

:The main aspects of the comparison will be: functionality, complexity, customizability, formats compatibility and performance and the applications compared will be: ArcPad, gvSIG Mobile, BeeGIS, TangoGPS, Google Maps Mobile, gvSIG Mini, Layar and others

GIS Mobile Comparison

2010-09-01T07:47:31Z

Wiki-Visancal: /* tangoGPS */

This page is used to describe comparisons between GeoSpatial Mobile applications to help users select suitable applications for their requirements.

= Abstract =

;Conference
:
:[http://2010.foss4g.org FOSS4G 2010]

;Title
:
:A comparison of Mobile GIS applications

;Authors
:

*Miguel Montesinos (CTO at [http://www.prodevelop.es Prodevelop]).
*Javier Carrasco (Geospatial Technical Leader at [http://www.prodevelop.es Prodevelop]).

;Abstract
:
:Free and open source software for GIS has evolved a lot from last years, faster than privative alternatives and now every FOSS4G expert has several very good tools to use on desktop PCs and web.
:The mobile field is a bit different and few experts are using free and open source mobile GIS, despite of good applications exist. Last years with the appearance of Android OS phones a new wave of map applications have been developed.
:At this talk, different mobile GIS applications will be analyzed, compared and tabulated.
:The objectives are:

*To provide a detailed list of FOSS mobile GIS applications
*Find how far are free and open source software from privative alternatives
*Help to choose the best tool for every project

:The main aspects of the comparison will be: functionality, complexity, customizability, formats compatibility and performance and the applications compared will be: ArcPad, gvSIG Mobile, BeeGIS, TangoGPS, Google Maps Mobile, gvSIG Mini, Layar and others

;Abstract
:
:Free and open source software for GIS has evolved a lot from last years, faster than privative alternatives and now every FOSS4G expert has several very good tools to use on desktop PCs and web.
:The mobile field is a bit different and few experts are using free and open source mobile GIS, despite of good applications exist. Last years with the appearance of Android OS phones a new wave of map applications have been developed.
:At this talk, different mobile GIS applications will be analyzed, compared and tabulated.
:The objectives are:

*To provide a detailed list of FOSS mobile GIS applications
*Find how far are free and open source software from privative alternatives
*Help to choose the best tool for every project

:The main aspects of the comparison will be: functionality, complexity, customizability, formats compatibility and performance and the applications compared will be: ArcPad, gvSIG Mobile, BeeGIS, TangoGPS, Google Maps Mobile, gvSIG Mini, Layar and others
