Touch GIS is a new mobile application that's helping to simplify field data collection for remote projects.
The software runs both online and offline, allowing for a wide range of geographic information features, which allows it to act as your primary mobile data collection system. Some of these features include vector (point, line and polygon) drawing, offline workflow, custom feature classes, and multi-project management. The app also offers easy importing and exporting so that the information can be shared on desktop software.
Currently, the application is available through Apple's app store for iPhone and iPad, with annual licensing plans available through the Touch GIS website. This includes options for individuals at $299.99/user, for small teams of five to nine at $284.99/user, and for larger teams of 10 or more at $269.99/user.
