Key Features

GIS Data Collection

GIS Data Collection

Create, edit, analyze, and display GIS data in the form of industry-standard vector and raster image files.

External Hardware Integration

External Hardware Integration

ArcPad supports field devices, such as GPS receivers, range finders, and integrated digital cameras, with GIS data collection. Input from these devices is stored within the GIS.

Part of ArcGIS System

ArcGIS Server ArcPad Extension

Publish ArcPad projects to ArcGIS Server using the ArcGIS Server ArcPad extension. Any device that can connect to the Internet (by cradle, USB, Wi-Fi, or phone connection) can synchronize ArcPad edits directly with the enterprise geodatabase via ArcGIS Server Advanced Enterprise edition.

ArcPad Data Manager Extension for ArcGIS for Desktop

A mobile component of ArcGIS, ArcPad integrates with desktop GIS technologies to allow field edits to be incorporated into a geodatabase through disconnected editing. It replaces the ArcPad tools for ArcGIS for Desktop that came with previous versions of ArcPad.

External Hardware Integration

Symbology and Style Sheets

ArcPad enables high-quality mapping on mobile devices through supporting ArcGIS symbology and style sheets.

Customization

Customization

Create custom mobile GIS applications and tasks with ArcPad Studio.

ArcPad Studio is the development framework for creating extensions, applets, and tools with ArcPad.

Language Support

Language Support

ArcPad accommodates localized languages. The ArcPad user interface is available in a number of languages, making it easier for mobile field-workers whose native language is not English.

StreetMap Extension

StreetMap Extension

The StreetMap extension is based on Esri StreetMap Premium data derived from the TomTom (formerly TeleAtlas) dataset and now includes data for Europe in addition to North America. This extension is part of core ArcPad functionality and is included at no extra cost. It supports the Smart Data Compression (SDC) format and enables display, address geocoding, reverse geocoding, and routing capabilities.

What's New in ArcPad 10.0.2

ArcPad 10.0.2 is now available. It extends customization options and annotation capabilities, simplifies tasks, and increases access to key geographic data.

Enhanced Customization Capabilities—Add, delete, or modify standard ArcPad tools more easily. You can create a custom ArcPad toolbar or multiple toolbars for various projects and tasks within the ArcPad environment. As in previous versions, you may still extend customization further by using ArcPad Studio to add custom tools that contain scripted actions and behavior.

Improved Graphics Layer and Support for Annotation Targets—ArcGIS map annotation groups are now exported as individual graphics layers. You can expect better matching of text and geometry symbols between the ArcPad graphics layers and ArcGIS for Desktop. You also have the ability to choose to export all annotation groups at once with the Get Data for ArcPad wizard or export one annotation group at a time with the Export Graphics Layer For ArcPad tool.

Shortcut to Create ArcPad Apps—Create a shortcut to launch ArcPad projects from the desktop or Today (main menu) screen. You can also choose to launch ArcPad with only your custom toolbars, not the standard (default) toolbars.

Updated Help System—The ArcPad help system has been improved with new topics and enhancements to existing menus and features.
