Topcon releases eGIS for Android

Topcon Positioning Group announces the integration of the Android platform to the eGIS field software system. eGIS is designed to offer a simple and quick way to collect and maintain mapping data with GPS at various accuracies, including RTK (Real Time Kinematic).

With the introduction of the eGIS for Android app, operators can use their Android-based smartphones and tablets to capture data for a variety of mapping projects — whether it be for electric utilities, gas pipelines, disaster management, wastewater operations, forestry, highway maintenance or other related tasks.

“It’s another way we are expanding collection options for GIS industry professionals,” said Barbara McInerney, Topcon product marketing manager for GIS. “Whether operators use eGIS software with a field controller or now with their Android-based smartphone or tablet — capturing, editing and analyzing data for GIS projects is done simply and reliably.

“We are committed to providing innovative features and solutions for eGIS users as mapping demands continue to increase on a global scale,” said McInerney.
