The Cadcorp SIS desktop product family runs on Windows platforms and supports GPS. Cadcorp SIS may be used in the field on a (rugged) Tablet PC with integrated or add-on GPS for asset or facilities management, and more accurate and automated data capture. Built-in support for GPS devices includes connecting to a GPS, construction of graphic data based on GPS positions, insertion of the GPS position into any command that is waiting for a position, control of the GPS device using the GPSView Workspace Window tab with GPS 'skyplot', and saving and replaying logs of GPS NMEA strings.
Cadcorp SIS supports the EXchangeable Image Format (EXIF) for GPS geo-referenced digital camera images.
When EXIF images are added to the Map Window, a layer file of icons is created indicating the locations of the image files.
The icons are hyper-linked to the image files for immediate access from within the interface.
For workflows that require both ground-based imaging and GIS capability, the combination of digital imaging technology and Cadcorp SIS provides a compelling application.
