Applications

GeoRover software tools specialize in the following:

• Data Import - Import wizard rapidly and flexibly ingests non-spatial data with coordinates from many different sources (spreadsheets, text, databases) and in many formats into ArcGIS
• Field Data Collection / Visualization - Plot routes and collected field data as layers in ArcGIS. Field data is collected with commercial GPS receivers and other components (digital cameras, voice recorders)
• Data Creation/Editing - Easy to use, interactive interface within ArcMap for creating and editing feature layers
• Data Export - Export wizard generates powerful products in standard formats (HTML, PowerPoint^® slideshows, Excel^® spreadsheets) from ArcGIS data
• RPF Display / Management - New raster product format (RPF) tools (2007) designed to optimize creation, use, and management of large, file-based RPF datasets. Ideal for disconnected and operational users
