This workshop will be focused on integrating Android/IOS devices and cloud based solutions into your GIS and high accuracy GPS operations. In the class we will examine using two different solutions for this task, Trimble TerraFlex and ESRI Collector. We will work through the entire process of deploying a standardized geodatabase for field collection and then synchronizing field data back into our geodatabase. We will concentrate on the following workflows:
- Configure a local project.
- Publishing this project to the respective cloud services.
- Configure the project for field collection.
- Configuration routines to prepare the cloud based data for field collection.
- Field collection - we will be using smart devices combined with high accuracy Bluetooth GPS devices in a disconnected environment.
- Synchronize to the cloud services and examine field data.
- Integrate this field data back into our local geodatabase.
At the end of this workshop attendees can expect to be comfortable with the entire office to field workflow using Trimble TerraFlex and ESRI Collector. Attendees are welcome to bring their own smart device for use in the workshop. However, before the workshop please ensure the latest version of Esri Collector and Trimble TerraFlex are downloaded and installed on your device. Elecdata will be providing temporary logins to both services for use in this workshop.
