Mobile GIS has been used in various applications by many different disciplines. By empowering field personnel with the responsibility of data acquisition, editing and verification, Mobile GIS applications have the capability of bringing field and office activities into a collaborative environment that can further improve productivity, reduce costs and minimize project completion timeframes.
