GBM Mobile operates on handheld computers running Microsoft Pocket PC 2003, Windows Mobile 5 or Windows Mobile 6. It delivers a comprehensive GIS tool-box including custom data entry forms and GPS integration.
The system includes software to set up the mobile device, transfer data to and from the mobile device and to merge field edits into the central data store.
GBM Mobile is based on MapInfo MapX Mobile technology and integrates with MapInfo Professional on the support PC. It works natively with MapInfo .tab files and can display other GIS data such as ESRI .shp files.
GBM Mobile is the ideal solution in any application that needs to collect data in the field or to view or create maps.
"GBM Mobile has made it easier for our staff to collect information in the field and is saving hours of data entry time when they return to the office," says Thomas Bierbach, Director of Security & Compliance, Atlantic Lottery Corporation. "It has vastly improved the efficiency of our staff."
