ArcPad Application Builder 7 Custom Mobile GIS Solutions
ArcPad Application Builder is the development framework for creating custom solutions for mobile GIS applications and tasks.
Creating a customized field solution for data collection and update is essential to ensure the integrity and value of your GIS data. The ability to capture attribute and spatial data directly in the field improves efficiency and reduces time spent correcting or reentering the data into the main database back in the office.
ArcPad Application Builder bundles the following:
- A desktop customization application called ArcPad Studio
- A license of ArcPad
- Detailed documentation, an object model diagram, and sample code
- First year's maintenance (includes support and upgrades for both ArcPad Studio and ArcPad).
Many of the customization tasks in ArcPad are performed directly using ArcPad Studio and require little or no programming. For more complex tasks, ArcPad exposes an extensive object model that can be accessed by writing VBScripts. Developers can build custom applications within this environment and deploy them on numerous ArcPad software-based devices in their organizations.
Why Use ArcPad Application Builder?
With ArcPad Application Builder, you can:
- Improve the accuracy of GIS data collected in the field.
- Convert paper-based field data forms, permits, and reporting methods into mobile GIS applications.
- Increase the efficiency and effectiveness of field-workers.
- Tailor ArcPad applications to user skill levels.
- Automate ArcPad tasks and processes.
- Extend GIS capabilities to field-workers.
- Incorporate other technology such as digital cameras, monitoring devices, and printers.

GPSDifferential for ArcPad adds the power of post-processing to your ESRI ArcPad software on MobileMapper CE. This extension software offers seamless integration of your ArcPad software and the included MobileMapper Office suite to provide reliable, sub-meter, post-processed positioning data results.
GPSDifferential for ArcPad automatically logs raw GPS measurement data in the field for easy post-processing back in the office. With GPSDifferential for ArcPad you can always acquire the most accurate data for all your GIS and mapping needs even where real-time differential corrections are not available. All without the extra costs and hassles of additional equipment.
Your High-performance MobileMapper CE Made Even Better
Your MobileMapper CE from Thales offers proven real-time, sub-meter positioning accuracy. Now the post-processing option provided by the ArcPad extension makes sub-meter mapping possible in areas where real-time differential corrections are unavailable.
Easy Workflow
The fast and easy data collection and data management offered by ArcPad is unhindered by the extension. The logging of raw data required for post-processed differential correction happens automatically behind the scenes without interrupting your familiar workflow. Back in the office, MobileMapper Office post-processes the data and enables easy export to shapefiles or other industry standard formats.
Affordable Post-processing Solution
Continuing our commitment to provide the highest performance-to-price ratio GPS/GIS systems available, the GPSDifferential extension for ArcPad offers accurate post-processing for a fraction of the cost of comparable systems. With the powerful GPS utilities of MobileMapper CE and the user friendly functionality of MobileMapper Office, Thales has once again delivered to the GIS market an easy to use, affordable high-performance GPS system.
