mobile geographic information system (GIS) software for field mapping and data
collection, have been released. New improvements in ArcPad 7.1.1 enhance the
user experience by increasing productivity and ease of use in the field.
ArcPad products
are designed for a variety of industries and organizations wanting to extend
the benefits of GIS from the office to the field. Together with ArcPad
Application Builder, the development and customization framework for ArcPad,
version 7.1.1 improves the field data collection process and allows mobile
users to make decisions quickly and accurately.

with ESRI desktop technologies, allowing field edits to be incorporated through
disconnected editing.

customer feedback from version 7.1 in an effort to improve productivity and the
overall ArcPad experience for our users," says Jian Lange, product manager
for ArcPad.

of interest to a desktop PC and transfer it to a mobile device operating ArcPad
in the field.
