  1. Mobile GIS at the DNRGIS Day – UMD November 17, 2011

  2. DNR Land Management • Managed Resources: 66 state parks 57 State Forests covering 8 million acres 200,000 acres in 133 Scientific and Natural Areas 1,200,000 acres in 1,500 Wildlife Management Areas

  3. DNR Land Management • Minnesota's natural resources include: • 11,842 named lakes of 10 acres or larger • 3.8 million acres of fishing waters used by 2.3 million anglers annually • 69,200 miles of rivers and streams • 93 million acres of wetlands

  4. Mobile GIS • Solution Considerations • Functionality – Does it meet our needs? • Cost – Does it meet our budget? • Supportability – Standardize or be overwhelmed by support requests • Sustainability – How long will the technology be around (Garmin iQue)? • Many-Tiered Solution

  7. Mobile GIS – Recreational GPS

  8. Mobile GIS – Recreational GPS • Advantages • Rugged • Inexpensive • Small Learning Curve • Tools for Enhancing GPS • DNRGarmin • Export to Image • Mapwel -- WMA Data, Snowmobile Trails • http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mobile/index.html

  9. Mobile GIS – Recreational GPS • Disadvantages • Limited data entry capabilities

  10. Mobile GIS – Recreational GPS • Examples • Reference/Navigation – Abandoned Wells, Wildlife Survey Transects/Quadrats, Invasive Species, Geocaching, Ownership boundaries, Snowmobile Trails • Data Collection – CO Violations, Forest Access Routes, Roads, and Trails, Trap Net Sites, Asset Locations, Water Access Sites, Fire Lines

  11. Mobile GIS – Smart Phones Tablet Windows Mobile PDA Cost Smart Phones Rec GPS Functionality

  12. Mobile GIS – Smart Phones Windows Phone IOS Android

  13. Mobile GIS – Smart Phones • Cons • Small Screen • Not Ruggedized • Investment – Hardware, Data Plan Subscription • Many OS Options – Must developapps accordingly • Pros • Small • Light • People have them - Public Facing Apps

  14. Mobile GIS – Smart Phones DNR Water Access Sites Layarsaugmented reality iPhone and Android http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mobile/index.html

  15. Mobile GIS – Smart Phones Lake Finder Android http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mobile/index.html

  16. Mobile GIS – Smart Phones • Fall Colors • Real Time access to statewide fall color reports • Integrated with Google Maps iPhoneand Android http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mobile/index.html

  17. Mobile GIS – Smart Phones • Future Potential … • Crowdsourcing(Collaborative GIS) for data entry • TIP • Asset Management • Rare Species Range • etc

  19. Mobile GIS - PDA Windows Mobile -- Arcpad/ArcMobile

  20. Mobile GIS - PDA Pros • Create and deploy intelligent forms • Manage data in shapefile or geodatabase format • Check-in/out capabilities with ArcMap • Ruggedized Cons • Small Screen

  21. Mobile GIS - PDA Check Out Centralized DB Field Collection Check In

  22. Mobile GIS - PDA Forest Management • The evolution of a managed forest stand. RegenerationSurvey Forest InventorySurvey

  23. Mobile GIS - PDA Forest Inventory • Sample site (plots) and take inventory of what is there • Identify competition species and damage (deer, mice, fungus) • Results determine the cover type and ifany action is needed on stand

  24. Mobile GIS - PDA GeoCache Impact Analysis • Determine the impact GeoCaches have on the surrounding environment.

  25. Mobile GIS - PDA • Other Examples • Vegetation Surveys • Scenic Easement Inventory • Water Trails
