  • GeoSpatial Experts Launches GeoJot+ for Windows Mobile

    GeoSpatial Experts’ GeoJot+ field data collection system now runs on Windows Mobile devices.  According to GeoSpatial Experts, companies can seamlessly transfer GeoJot’s app component across Apple, Android, and now Windows Mobile 6.x devices such as Trimble and Juniper handheld GPS units.

    GeoJot+ enables users to capture geotagged photos on mobile devices along with descriptive attribute information for each photo. The data is then automatically uploaded to the cloud and processed back in the office.

    Using GeoJot+, organizations create reports and ArcGIS or Google Earth maps for managers and clients.  GeoJot+ data is fed into a company’s backend database for further analysis and archiving. The system provides functionality from field data collection to final reports.

    One subscription can now cover all Android, Apple, and Windows Mobile devices. Licenses can easily be transferred across operating systems using the GeoJot Administrator’s Dashboard, as they are not tied to specific devices.

    “While smartphones and tablets are opening GIS mobile data collection to a larger audience, there are still many circumstances where people need higher GPS accuracy,” said John Clark, GeoSpatial Experts’ Director of Business Development. “With an intuitive interface and minimal training requirements, GeoJot+ now makes high-end GPS equipment more accessible to people outside of the GIS department.”

    GeoJot+ meets a need for any organization requiring field asset inventory, proof of performance, compliance documentation, site assessments, situational awareness, or damage assessment. GeoJot+ captures location, condition and other data about real world conditions at a specific place and time.
    This information helps companies solve business problems, gain competitive advantage, speed cash flow, and reduce expenses.

  • GeoSpatial Experts Unveils Android Version of GeoJot App

    GeoSpatial Experts released the Android version of its popular GeoJot app for mobile devices. In addition, the GeoJot mobile app and its companion PC-based GPS-Photo Link software have been enhanced to offer automatic wireless data transfer via the cloud, easier attribute collection, and more flexible reporting functions.

    “Used together, GPS-Photo Link and GeoJot comprise an end-to-end system that takes users from field data collection to generating final reports in one seamless process,” said GeoSpatial Experts President Rick Bobbitt.
    According to the announcement, GeoJot apps for Android are available for purchase from the Google Play store. GeoJot for the Apple iPhone and iPad may be purchased from the Apple App Store. GeoSpatial Experts will work with customers directly for larger enterprise licenses of GeoJot and GPS-Photo Link.
    “We are excited to be offering GeoJot for Android, which we created in response to the many Android users who were looking for a simple data collection tool for their field teams,” said Bobbitt.  “Feedback from over 100 beta testers has also helped us to further improve GeoJot on both operating systems making it even more robust and easier to use – particularly for large field teams.”
    In addition to expanding into the Android operating system, GeoSpatial Experts has added to following upgrades GeoJot and GPS-Photo Link:
    • Automatic Data Transfer Using the Cloud — Automatically push photos up to Dropbox as they are taken. Data can then be downloaded on a PC for processing in GPS-Photo Link.
    • Advanced Features for Data Management – New advanced data management features include the ability to select the size of the photos being captured and the ability to create specific storage folders automatically using attributes collected in the field.
    • Barcode/QR Code Reading — Available exclusively for the GeoJot Android version is the ability to scan barcodes and QR codes and save them as attribute values.
    • Attribute List (Form) Creation on the PC– GeoJot users may now compose attribute lists (forms) on their personal computers in GPS-Photo Link rather than on the mobile device. Lists can be locked, specific items can be required, and lists can be emailed to field teams.
    • Review and Improve Data– Through the attribute editor in GPS-Photo Link, QA and QC field data before adding it into spatial and relational database systems.
    • Custom Printed Report Formatting — GPS-Photo Link customers can now further customize the format and presentation of photographs and attributes included in printed reports. Now, one, four or eight photos can be printed on one page with attribute information.
