Abstract
Governmental organizations and private companies are deploying handheld computing technologies and appropriate software in the field to allow them to fully leverage the GIS data they have collected. By allowing field workers to have access to GIS data improves in-field decision making capabilities, and allows for more timely response to problems.
The technologies that allow mobile applications, including handheld computers, wireless technology and GPS positioning solutions, are continuing to improve and evolve. This paper will give an update on the latest advancements in this field, and provide some examples of organizations successfully deploying mobile applications today.
