XMap GIS Software manages critical field asset information visualized against a background of DeLorme topographic map data and aerial imagery. XMap provides tools for GPS navigation and field data collection for any organization with a mobile work force. Optimize field agent decision-making through advanced yet affordable GIS data visualization and GPS navigation tools.
XMap for Solar Energy
DeLorme's XMap GIS Enterprise software can help solar energy companies conduct site assessments while optimizing their mobile field-force work flows. Sharing critical GIS data with field technicians improves asset data integrity and enhances field-force productivity.
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, accurate maps and imagery, GPS data collection, and navigation tools are critical tools supporting solar development from sun angle projection through optimal geographic and topographic collector placement. Empower your field engineers with affordable site visualization tools that cartographically describe your areas of interest.
XMap is the easy-to-use data visualization tool providing field engineers and GIS managers with comprehensive, shared views of critical corporate infrastructure information including facility, transmission line and land survey data.
Share Critical Information throughout Your Organization
Share critical map views with field engineers. Export GIS map views, aerial imagery, or geo-registered scanned images to the Earthmate GPS PN-Series devices. Improve decision-making and empower field engineers by providing access to critical GIS data. Establish GPS-based field data collection work-flows that utilize XMap Forms (sold separately) and enhance data accuracy while meeting budget constraints
- View critical infrastructure data against aerial or satellite imagery. Conduct side-by-side analysis of before-and-after maps. Build environmental compliance visualizations
- Embed regulatory documents within XMap to support compliance field data collection. Apply affordable and easy-to-use XMap Forms to field data collection challenges
- Import and geo-reference scanned images and blueprints - transfer the resulting raster map layer to the Earthmate GPS PN-Series devices
- Efficiently direct your field technicians to the job site using GPS navigation. Navigate outside the vehicle using the Earthmate GPS PN-Series devices
- Automate data synchronization for field editing processes including field data collection via Forms, query views, redlining, and data check-out/in. Develop work flows that match your business and maintain data integrity across your mobile field force
- Full GIS support. Supports ESRI .shp, KML export, MapInfo .mif, .tab, and AutoCAD .dxf, .dwg files. ArcSDE support included with XMap GIS Enterprise
XMap Workflow Automation
Easy-to-use Application Programming Interface (API) lets developers access mapping functions to automate data updates, improve efficiency, or share map views between field associates.
- Customize GPS-based XMap Forms to support your field data collectors
- Embed existing business data collection and compliance/regulatory documents into XMap
