Mobile GIS

Mobile first and the post-PC era aren't merely buzzwords; they represent today's reality. Within the geospatial information systems (GIS) industry, mobile internet and mobile GIS have profoundly transformed how we acquire, visualize, analyze, and disseminate geospatial information. With their ubiquitous use and location-aware capability, the mobile platform has emerged as the dominant client of enterprise GIS across various industries, making mobile GIS crucial to the business operations and future success of countless organizations. Consumer mobile GIS applications, such as Google Maps, Google Earth, Waze, and Zillow, have put the basic GIS capabilities in everyone's hands. This course focuses on enterprise mobile GIS, which offers a much wider variety of capabilities. It provides principles and detailed tutorials to teach today's cutting-edge mobile GIS technologies. Using a no-code/low-code approach, this course makes mobile GIS easy and enjoyable to learn. Students can immediately become productive in creating enterprise GIS solutions, ranging from online and offline spatial data visualization, data collection, location sharing, and workforce coordination, to integration with enterprise workflows. It is a comprehensive resource covering Esri's suite of mobile technologies, including native-based applications like ArcGIS Survey123, Field Maps, and QuickCapture, and browser-based applications such as ArcGIS Dashboards and Experience Builder. Moreover, students can also acquire advanced knowledge to extend mobile GIS using Arcade, Webhooks, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and ArcGIS Mobile SDKs. The course explores popular applications, including location-based services (LBS), volunteered geographic information (VGI), 3D mapping, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR).
