Mobile GIS is the use of geographic data in the field on mobile devices. It's an evolution of how the enterprise database is used and managed within an organization. Mobile GIS integrates three essential components; global positioning system (GPS), handheld computers, and GIS software.  Bringing these technologies together makes the enterprise database directly accessible to field based personnel.

With the streamlined workflow of mobile GIS, emergency workers, inspectors, maintenance teams, utility crews, and many other field workers have real-time access to the enterprise data they require to get their job done with confidence, while they're in the field. Sewer, road signage, and public building inventories, along with revenue-based information, such as land and taxation parcel data, are examples of the type of data required for the essential decision-making and planning that makes the world's cities and towns function efficiently.
