  1. This document describes some of the new features of GBM Mobile V6.5 Commercial-in-Confidence

  2. Some of the major new initiatives are listed below. More detailed information is provided in these release notes and the updated User Manual. • 4. Screen Layout • The Find function is now accessed from the main toolbar • Tool buttons for drawing with stylus and GPS have been combined and simplified • Layout of the attributes screen has been upgraded with new buttons and help • Multi-tab screens present controls at the bottom of the window to better use screen real estate • Now possible to edit multiple selections • New listing dialog that uses header rows, which groups object types, to save screen real estate • New listing dialog allows for multiple selections via checkboxes • Features listed (child objects) can now have more than two fields shown • It is now possible to click and drag to select hard-to-click points or all features in an area • 1. Custom Forms • Forms now support on-to-many data relationships with multiple rows of data from different MapInfo tables connected to a single map feature. • Forms names can be aliased to present names familiar to end-users • Automated data entry has been extended with an option to fill values from the last created sibling • Automated data entry has been extended with an option to fill values from a nominated object • Performance has been improved for forms using conditional visibility • Form validation and warning prompting has been improved • It is now possible to present features in a list and hot-link between map and list views • There is a new form configuration option to enable the presentation of a list of features and attributes • It is now possible to specify whether a delete button should be added on custom forms • Support added for specifying that data values should be auto populated from the last created sibling • Support added for specifying that data values should be auto populated from the nominated object • Drop down lists can now target numeric type data fields • 5. GPS • Drawing with the GPS has been simplified as a drawing rather then GBM tracing function. • It is now possible to use GPS averaging when adding vertices to a linear feature. It is now possible to add individual vertices when drawing line or polygon features. It is no longer necessary to rely on GPS tracking • Port checking during GPS configuration is more thorough • It is now possible to follow transects (lines) with the GPS. The display of distance – bearing offset information has been improved • 2. GBM Mobile Manager • It is now possible to transfer forms between different form definition files. • The mechanisms for checking whether PDA files need updating has been upgraded to improve robustness •  The forms exporter has been removed from GBM Mobile Manager. Forms are now imported by GBM Portable, GBM Pro and GBM Office. This function is accessible through the Settings screen in the target application • 6. Trouble Shooting • Behind the scenes operational logging has been extended to yield better diagnostics support • 7. Core Technology • Upgraded MapX Mobile to V5.06.16 correcting British Coordinate system listing • GBM Mobile for Trimble upgraded to V2.40A of the Pathfinder Tools SDK • 3. Documentation • Shipped with the updated V6.5 User Manual

  3. Form names can be aliased to better control how they present to end-uses Link records from one .tab file to those in another .tab file based on a common record identifier Header form Multiple sub-forms With multiple records To better understand one-to-many linking see the GBM Pro video at www.geobasemap.com One-to-many data relationships allows one map feature to be linked to multiple records across multiple data sets Allow attributes to be auto-populated based on values from the last created object of this type Allow sibling objects to be auto-populated with attribute of the last created sibling. • 1. Custom Forms User Friendly names simplify training Capture real world data relationships Save time with optimized data entry

  4. Find icon is now available on the toolbar. Attributes for multiple features can now be edited at the same time Objects in lists are now grouped by form/feature type. • 2. Screen Layout Speed field operations Faster editing Intuitive data listings

  5. Improved GPS averaging • More thorough port checking • Drawing lines with the GPS has been simplified • Improved distance-bearing offset display and transect following • GBM Mobile for Trimble edition • Trimble SDK V2.40A to support newer devices and improve post processing accuracy • 3. GPS Easier GPS connection Better drawing control Easier navigation Up-to-date SDK for better accuracy

  6. New option to hide or show the delete button on custom forms New Administration tool for transferring form definitions between form files • 4. Forms Management Better data management Easier organization

  7. 4. Forms Management User Manual includes all of the latest features. Up-to-date user manual with more reference material

  8. Please refer to the release notes for a list of over 30 software improvements between V5.10 and V6.5. Please e-mail your request for future upgrades to ken@geobasemap.com PowerPoint edition 26, June 2010
