I'm a geologist aswell working in natural hazard mapping. We are looking for a simple multilayer Mobile-GIS solution on a 8-10 inch screen. Overlaying different maps, draw areas, lines and dots and attribute them in the field. This would be awesome! I totally agree with Howard D. I’m a geologist aswell working in natural hazard mapping.

If Ipad can offer enough grunt to do some basic analysis ill be crossing over some time soon (cheaper also) I also work with field and desktop arc map products and agree with Howard D as i currently use ruggedized tablets and find the inductive pen system to be clunky and unwieldy while handheld PDAs are just too small to be practicle.

A viewer/simple GIS layering app would be totally awesome for us. Garmin is moving in the right direction with BirdEye imagery available for download on their new GPS62, but it's still small and fiddly. Scale that up on a user friendly touch screen and I am very excited about the possibilities - farewell to those old clunky handhelds.

I work on watershed mapping and have recently delved into the fields of Participatory Photo Mapping. This allows for photos to be taken in the field that are spatially correct. It isn't true GIS field mapping but it is quickly adapted in any GIS program in the truck or office. Furthermore, i am tried of running parallels and ArcGIS is a bleed your eyeballs out aesthetics. I would like a layout more like AutoCad with graphics use Apple users have now assumed as a right. peace from the west coast of canada William Shulba Geochange Science Society geochange.org This is all really cool.

And so you could say 'what does she know?'... But, I am an Information Graphics specialist and man, this prog is still in the seventies!!!!!!!!!! ArcGIS needs to work on it's user interface, there is too many pop-up windows and tools hidden all over the place. Then, it needs to work on the backround stuff, making it a less heavy weight programme and most streamlined in processing power. I have the fastest machine in my office and still the re-fresh rate is a visable few seconds. With really large artworks it's minutes. My odds are on Google and it's Android software. Googlemaps is a beautifully intuitive piece of software. Fast and up to date, what more can you ask for? My ideal partnership is between Google and Apple, stable useribility and fast accurate results. Boom, boom! I am so new to this field of GIS. And so you could say ‘what does she know?’…

However I suggest you take a closer look at what ESRI is doing in the Mobile space with its technology offerings...
