GIS Pro & GIS Kit for iPad & iPhone 1

Ease of Use
Traditional mobile software for data
collection and data visualization typically
comes with a high price tag and an even
higher learning curve. Training costs and
downtime can significantly reduce the
actual value of these products. GIS Kit &
GIS Pro are designed for ease of use.
Our software leverages several existing
iOS interface design standards which
most users are already familiar with.

Features
GIS Kit & GIS Pro are loaded with powerful features to assist
you in collecting & viewing field data. A custom mapping
engine, precise drawing tools & integrated GPS functionality
create a responsive experience that helps you add features
to the map with ease and accuracy.

Our Feature Class Manager allows you to create and

customize attribute fields on the fly - no need to involve
desktop GIS software. There is also no need to deplete
expensive data plans as you can use GIS Kit & GIS Pro
completely offline by utilizing our industry-leading map
caching system.

Flexibility
GIS Kit & GIS Pro give you ample options for importing/exporting data. Import KML,
KMZ, GPX and Shapefiles to start a project from existing data. Then export KML, KMZ,
GPX, Shapefile(Pro only) or CSV(Pro only) files to share data with team members or import
to your desktop GIS software for analysis. Import/export in GIS Kit & GIS Pro can be
handled from your Mail application or iTunes - both methods are fast & easy.

Cost
GIS Kit & GIS Pro offer a superior feature-set for a fraction of the cost of a traditional
standalone hardware unit. For thousands less you can have better software on a device
that allows you to do more. Apples new Volume Purchase program makes it easy to
distribute GIS Kit or GIS Pro to your entire team.
See www.apple.com/business/vpp for more information on purchasing in volume.

The iOS Advantage

Apples iOS operating system for iPhone & iPad is arguably the best mobile platform in
the world. Its updates are constantly setting new standards for the mobile industry.
Many users are already familiar with this platform, which cuts down on training and
support time. Were confident that Apple will continue to produce innovative solutions
that we can leverage to continually improve GIS Kit & GIS Pro in the future.

A Universal App
GIS Kit & GIS Pro are universal apps, meaning a single
purchase will allow you to run on both your iPhone & iPad.
However, please note that the iTunes End User License
Agreement requires a separate license for each user or each device that is used by
multiple users. See www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html for details.

Common Work Flow

1 Create a new project from the Project Manager.

Import any available GIS Data relative to your

site including Google earth (KML) files, Shapefiles
and Raster files (geo-tiff, jpg, etc).

2
Importing can be accomplished by email or by
connecting your device to a computer with iTunes.
The import button is located at the bottom left
corner of your Project Menu.

Cache base maps that you plan to use. This will

ensure that you have the map tiles you need when
3 your device is not within your providers data
coverage area.

Select Feature Class Datasets that best suit your

project requirements. In the Feature Classes
4 Menu turn on datasets that you plan to use. Turn
off datasets you will not use. You can also create
your own feature classes from this dialog.

Go to your site and collect/view data using GPS

5 and manual drawing features.

Export collected data via email or connect your

device to any computer running iTunes to export
larger files. Export KML/KMZ files for viewing the
6 data in Google Earth. Export Shapefiles if you
intend to generate maps or a geodatabase using
advanced desktop software. Export CSV files to
see attribute data in spreadsheet form.

sophisticated field data without being tied to an expensive server or IT unit. Anyone can easily
create their own feature classes & datasets and use them to gather & interpret useful data in the
field.

Using GIS Pro

The Pro version of this software gives you all the advantages of the Kit version but offers
more collaborative options such as cloud support, SHP file export & feature class dataset
sharing.
