Forestry and Environment
The highly sensitive MobileMapper 6 GPS receiver together with the easy-to-use
Mobile Mapping application performs very well in difficult signal environments such
as under dense foliage. Applications include management of forestry, wetland
delineation, environmental protection or vegetation mapping.
Agriculture
Ideally suited for agricultural applications, MobileMapper 6 gives you the power to
make accurate area and boundary measurements on native, fallow or cultivated
parcels of land. MobileMapper 6 is an excellent tool for mapping fields that may be
eligible for subsidies payments or insurance.
Public Safety
The rugged exterior and versatility of software applications make the MobileMapper 6
the first choice for Public Safety. Creation of first-response plans, mapping fire
boundaries, crime location, disease incidence and storm damage mapping are
conveniently done on-site with one simple tool.
Utilities and Oil & Gas
The MobileMapper 6 is able to take any supported mapping file into the field, update
it and transfer it back to the office GIS database. This enables any utility worker to
navigate to field infrastructure, update the GIS data in the field, and easily transfer
this file back to the office.
