Digital Data Tracker

Overview

The GeoRover Digital Data Tracker extension is the field data collection component of the GeoRover product suite. It provides tools for easily importing track logs and waypoint logs from a variety of GPS receivers into ArcMap™. Using the GPS track information, digital files (images, video clips, audio clips, text) collected in the field from a variety of devices can be automatically georeferenced. Track logs and georeferenced data layers are saved as shapefiles or can be added to existing feature classes in a personal or ArcSDE^® geodatabase. The result is an interactive map display with links to field data that can be exported as a web page for easy information sharing.
