Click for Zooming     Royalty free Mapping and GPS Controls for the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework
Royalty Free .NET Compact Framework Mapping and GPS programmer's components for the Pocket PC. Synchronize and view user data on top of Free topographic maps and aerial photos. Automate field data collection with end to end links with SQL Server.
Benefits
Compact Framework VB and C# Programmers! Let your end users use free topographic maps, aerial photos, and GPS to locate and update information about real world features on their Pocket PC. Help them find oil wells, properties, farms, or transformers or anything else they might need to find, and collect data for, out in the field. Lower their costs and headaches by providing them with the latest information from their central SQL Server database in the field, and automatically update the central database with changes made in the field.
Usage scenario
At the office (or whenever you are connected to the Internet, such as a wireless connection or plugged into your docking station), download your own SQL Server database information and the topographic maps and aerial photos you will need that day to your PocketPC. In the field, view the database items on detailed USGS topographic maps and Aerial photos on your PocketPC. Locate a database item in the field using your PocketPC's GPS and the maps.
Tap on a database item on the map to bring up a data entry screen for that item. Enter data, make changes, add new items. Upon return to your office (or whenever you are connected to the Internet), synchronize your changes back to the main SQL server database using SQL CE replication.
