ArcGIS for iPhone now available for Download from iTunes

06 July 2010

ESRI has expanded its mobile GIS platform to support the iPhone. ArcGIS for iPhone includes both a free downloadable application from Apple's App Store and an API for iPhone developers to build focused mapping solutions.

ArcGIS for iPhone leverages capabilities from ArcGIS Online to provide a seamless and easy user experience. Users can navigate maps and discover assets from Web services, as well as capture new data from the field and send information back to the server.

This allows ArcGIS Server customers to leverage their GIS investment in the iPhone by using the device to access their own corporate data. ArcGIS for iPhone also promotes collaboration and information sharing between multiple users in the field. For example, field users can create and share status updates with others to communicate and work more efficiently.
