Mobile Mapping with ESRI's ArcPad 7.1 - We recently sat in on an intro session focused on ESRI's extension of GIS beyond the office and into a mobile environment. Why mobile GIS?? Addressing the need to take GIS into the field to enable timely, relevant, and accurate decisions. Making real-time decisions in the field enables more collaboration between the field and the office. Makes sense to me... of particluar interest in this space is the coming release of ESRI's ArcPad 7.1.
