Tadpole-Cartesia Partners with Trimble to Launch Automated GIS/GPS Data System for ESRI ArcGIS.Business Editors CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 13, 2004 Tadpole-Cartesia Integrates GO! Sync for ArcPad Field Data Management System With Trimble's Mapping and GIS Products Tadpole-Cartesia, Inc. today announced a business partner agreement with Trimble enabling it to integrate its GO! Sync for ArcPad software with Trimble's Mapping and GIS products, including the GeoExplorer(R) series of rugged GPS handheld receivers, the Trimble(R) Recon(TM) rugged handheld data collectors and GPS Pathfinder(R) systems. The result is an automated GIS/GPS data management system for mobile workers using Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile The Windows platform from Microsoft for handheld devices, including PDAs, cellphones and Portable Media Centers.

"This joint initiative from two of ESRI's strategic partners provides ArcPad and ArcGIS customers with more choices in managing their enterprise data," said Shane Clarke, ESRI's ArcPad product manager. "The combination of Tadpole-Cartesia's and Trimble's technologies offers organizations the ability to automate their data management tasks, and validate their GIS data, resulting in significant gains in field crew productivity." With Tadpole-Cartesia's system, field crews can use GIS and GPS for inspection, maintenance and similar field tasks. Once completed, fieldwork results are automatically updated by GO! Sync to ArcGIS when a Trimble device is docked. This process ensures accurate information can be shared throughout the ArcGIS environment. Previously, changes to either the GIS or field datasets were not handled quite as efficiently, resulting in out-of-date or lost information. GO! Sync for ArcPad simplifies the entire process by synchronizing ArcGIS with the field dataset when a device is connected without requiring user intervention. An early adopter of Tadpole-Cartesia's automated GIS/GPS data system is Burbank Water & Power, a municipal utility in California. "Tadpole-Cartesia's GO! Sync enables Burbank Water & Power to leverage our GIS data to support field inspection required by California legislation," said Larry Wilke, Burbank Water & Power's GIS analyst. "GO! Sync for ArcPad simplifies the data management for our ruggedized Trimble handheld field devices." "This partnership creates a 'one-stop shop' for clients intending to use ArcPad and Trimble's Mapping and GIS products," said Dave Goughnour, Trimble's business partner manager for Mapping and GIS. "Tadpole-Cartesia brings to the ERSI ERSI Environment Remote Sensing Institute user community tremendous enterprise field application experience along with their GO! Sync technology to provide a complete package. Combined with Trimble devices and ArcPad, organizations now have an opportunity to tap into an end-to-end solution (jargon) end-to-end solution - (E2ES) A term that suggests that the supplier of an application program or system will provide all the hardware and/or software components and resouces to meet the customer's requirement and no other supplier need be involved. Compare: turn-key solution. for using GIS in the field." About Tadpole-Cartesia's GO! Sync for ArcPad solution Tadpole-Cartesia's GO! Sync for ArcPad product is a turnkey solution that automates the process of updating GIS data stored on handhelds. An add-on module for ArcPad, GO! Sync synchronizes mapping data between ArcSDE and Pocket PC devices It may never be fully completed or, depending on its its nature, it may be that it can never be completed. However, new and revised entries in the list are always welcome. This is a list of Pocket PC and Windows CE devices, and companies that make, or have made, them. whenever docked or online. This automated process enables organizations to efficiently share concurrent spatial information in support of field operations, and also saves bandwidth. By simplifying the process, GO! Sync has become a requirement for organizations implementing ArcPad.

About Trimble's Mapping and GIS Products Mobile GIS and GPS data collection and maintenance provides timely data availability Refers to the degree to which data can be instantly accessed. The term is mostly associated with service levels that are set up either by the internal IT organization or that may be guaranteed by a third party datacenter or storage provider. in the field and office that supports effective decision-making. Government agencies or organizations that require quality location and attribute data can benefit from the productivity provided by GPS technology. Already, thousands of government agencies including federal, state and local municipalities around the world use mobile GIS systems. Trimble's GeoExplorer(R) series handhelds are unique tools for mobile GIS applications. The handhelds are lightweight, rugged, have an all-day battery and combine the power of Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile(TM) 2003 software for Pocket PCs and a high-performance Trimble GPS receiver with integrated Wide Area Augmentation System The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is an elevated-accuracy navigation system developed for civil aviation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a division of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT). (WAAS (Wide Area Augmentation System) A system of earth stations and satellites that improves the tracking accuracy of the GPS navigation system to approximately 10 feet. ) capability. The Trimble(R) Recon(TM) handheld is designed for the realities of mobile GIS fieldwork. Compact and rugged, it exceeds military specifications for drop, vibration, immersion and operating temperatures. It comes with the Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile(TM) 2003 software for Pocket PCs. Because it's a Windows Mobile-based device, you get all the benefits of an industry standard, open platform for mobile devices. The GPS Pathfinder(R) family includes GPS receivers and antennas with a range of real-time differential correction options for submeter accuracy. They combine with a choice of handhelds to give maximum flexibility for the field system, and provide users with timely, accurate positioning and feature information for decision-making.
