Waypoints
The feature with the most imagination.
Waypoints are an on-demand feature that allows GeoPro
device users to describe and capture the GPS coordinates of a location
of interest. Waypoints can be used to mark a base camp, environmental damage,
temporary shelter, fire line, plant species, equipment left in the field or in
need of repair. The only limit is your imagination.
Captured waypoints are private unless the employee submits them to be published
as a shared resource. Published waypoints are displayed in the
GeoPro Web Application's map interface, and can be used, for example,
to guide field personnel to a nearby shelter, fuel depot or supply cache.
The GeoPro Web Application's Waypoints function enables organizations to:
-
Authorize individuals to view, edit, reject or publish waypoints submitted by
device users in the field
-
Categorize waypoints and assign appropriate user selected icons to identify
them in the map interface (i.e. shelter, fuel cache, in-field first aid kit)
-
View published waypoints displayed on your choice of several map options
provided by ESRI® such as Bing™
maps, or World Topographical
-
Use waypoints to guide field users to nearby resources or locations
Field personnel can capture, annotate,
save and send GPS coordinates of any location and lots more.
