iGIS vs CoGIS Mobile

iGIS - The world's first and leading iOS GIS. True GIS functionality is now available on the iPhone! Your iPhone. Your data. Your maps. iGIS represents a new era in mobile GIS solutions by enabling users to load, view, investigate, create and export their own data over a background of map service imagery. Importing data is easy with our unique data import facility using the USB cable or wirelessly on your Mac, PC and Linux. Raster data in many formats (pre-processing required) and ESRI Shapefiles (.shp) are supported at the moment. Your spatial data is stored on the iPhone, so there’s no need for an Internet connection to see your data – great for field work. We also support over 3000 projections, so no need for re-projection. We include support for multiple layers of points, lines, and polygons – all styled as you like. Imagery layers too in V5. Add comments to your maps - A point layer is added with a name and description field. Add and edit your own layers, via the map display and customisable data entry forms. Export your layers to ESRI shapefiles for use back in your enterprise. Other features include: - Great speed, using our multi-threaded map renderer. - Support for large datasets. - Import and export of ESRI Shapefiles. - Display current GPS location in your chosen projection ( + compass) - Zoom to current location - Zoom to data extent - Map Pan, zoom in, zoom out - Changeable drawing styles for a layer: size, color, transparency - Set the draw order and visibility of map layers - Set the zoom scale for layers via a simple slider - Select and interrogate feature attributes via point and click This application is designed for GIS professionals and an understanding of some basic GIS concepts such as layers, shapefiles, projections etc, would make using iGIS simpler. Please let us know if concepts in iGIS are unclear. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

CoGIS Mobile is a full functional mobile GIS which represents a mobile application for CoGIS system provided for viewing and editing maps on smartphones and tablets, not tied up by internet availability and subscription fees. While working with your mobile map you can easily get detailed information about all objects, find your current location, add new objects to specified layers, describe and send them to server for further publication on maps located on CoGIS portal, as well as search objects on your map. The application works both with online maps published on CoGIS portal and with offline maps that can be downloaded from special portal storage. Note that in the first case to work with portal maps you will need persistent internet connection, whereas in the latter case the application works fully autonomous General features - Handy tools for work with mobile map. Take advantage of using your full functional mobile map - find your current location using GPS/GLONASS option, orientate yourself to terrain, turn map layers on and off, zoom in and out, identify objects, record your tracks on the way. - Data collection.
