GeoRover® Software Products

GeoRover Software Product Line

GeoRover geospatial software are commercial products developed by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) as flexible and efficient tools to aid in the production and analysis of GIS intelligence. GeoRover products enhance Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri)-based technology, mobile technology, and the Google Earth™ environment , providing improved data management.

The desktop extensions are designed and sold as "plug-ins" to the ArcMap™ component of Esri ArcGIS Desktop GIS software (versions 9.x and 10.x). The mobile-based technology currently resides on the Android™ operating system. View all GeoRover Products »

Applications

GeoRover software tools specialize in the following:

• GIS for the Google Earth™ Globe

  The GRGlobe™ application is a stand alone platform designed to create, edit, and visualize GIS data natively on the Google Earth™ globe.

• Data Import

  Import wizard rapidly and flexibly ingests non-spatial data with coordinates from many different sources (spreadsheets, text, databases) and in many formats into ArcGIS.

• Field Data Collection / Visualization

  Plot routes and collected field data as layers in ArcGIS. Field data is collected with commercial GPS receivers and other components (digital cameras, voice recorders).

• Data Creation/Editing

  Easy to use, interactive interface within ArcMap for creating and editing feature layers.

• Data Export

  Export wizard generates powerful products in standard formats (HTML, PowerPoint® slideshows, Excel® spreadsheets) from ArcGIS data.

• RPF Display / Management

  Raster product format (RPF) tools designed to optimize creation, use, and management of large, file-based RPF datasets including Enhanced Compressed Raster Graphics (ECRG), Compressed ARC Digitized Raster Graphics (CADRG), and Controlled Image Base® (CIB®). Ideal for disconnected and operational users.

• Full Motion Video Integration

  Tools used to track and record multiple Full Motion Video (FMV) feeds inside of the ArcMap application for situational awareness. Allows users to the record platform, sensor footprint, and sensor footprint center point metadata from incoming video feeds into new or existing feature layers.

• Mobile Collection Capability

  Application on Android™ platform supported mobile devices (smartphones or tablets) that can be used in connected or disconnected environments. Allows users to edit and create features in new or existing feature layers.

• Data Conversion between FalconView® and ArcGIS platforms

  Interoperability tools for converting data between common FalconView formats such as Local Point and Draw files and common GIS formats such as shapefiles and feature classes (personal, file, enterprise ArcSDE®). Option to apply FalconView Local Point symbology to point layers in the ArcMap application.
