GIS in the Field: The Path to Increasing Efficiency — Everyone uses GIS to display data and create maps, but it can also standardize data collection and ease data sharing. In this presentation we explore how to use GIS to collect field data; make field data accessible to the entire project team in real time; eliminate paper records; standardize data collection; and enhance flexibility by using multiple types of data, including pictures, points, lines, and polygons.
