  1. Digital Data Collection In the Field

  2. Project Goals Collect plant and site attribute data with a GPS and Pocket PC • Produce spatial and tabular data • Create maps that are compatible with ArcGIS • Enable easy data transfer into GRIN • Reduce transcription errors and time

  3. System Requirements ESRI software-compatible Microsoft Office-compatible Tables in dbf format Ease of data transfer Extended battery life Lightweight and portable

  4. Project Hardware HP iPAQ with ESRI ArcPad software Cruxview Bluetooth GPS Expansion sleeve for iPAQ for data backup and added battery Notebook Computer with ESRI ArcGIS software

  5. Begin with paper data collection form • Serves as model for data fields in digital customized form • In our digital form, data is entered from drop-down lists, typed in or entered later

  6. Appearance on the iPAQ Create the Digital Collection Form Fields chosen for the digital form

  7. Locate and Prepare Spatial Data Gather thematic map layers Derive additional map layers Trim spatial data to area of interest Prepare plant collection attribute tables Add data-collection forms tp map layers Export select map layers to ArcPad Autosync script and attribute files on iPAQ

  8. Enter attribute data Collect a GPS point Activate the GPS and Bluetooth Open the ArcMap project on the iPAQ Collect Data in the Field

  9. Transfer map and attribute table to PC and ArcMap

  10. GRIN Compatibility Accession data can be collected in the field Habitat Coordinates Locality Elevation

  11. Other Benefits • Forms easy to create and customize • Can incorporate GRIN fields into forms • .dbf tables easy to upload into GRIN • Maps immediately ready for ArcGIS • Data can be used for GIS analysis • GIS data available at no cost on the web • Reduces data entry from paper forms
