 * FOSS4G 2010


 * Title:
 * A comparison of Mobile GIS applications


 * Authors:
 * Miguel Montesinos (CTO at Prodevelop).
 * Javier Carrasco (Geospatial Technical Leader at Prodevelop).


 * Abstract:
 * Free and open source software for GIS has evolved a lot from last years, faster than privative alternatives and now every FOSS4G expert has several very good tools to use on desktop PCs and web.
 * The mobile field is a bit different and few experts are using free and open source mobile GIS, despite of good applications exist. Last years with the appearance of Android OS phones a new wave of map applications have been developed.
 * At this talk, different mobile GIS applications will be analyzed, compared and tabulated.
 * The objectives are:


 * To provide a detailed list of FOSS mobile GIS applications
 * Find how far are free and open source software from privative alternatives
 * Help to choose the best tool for every project
 * The main aspects of the comparison will be: functionality, complexity, customizability, formats compatibility and performance and the applications compared will be: ArcPad, gvSIG Mobile, BeeGIS, TangoGPS, Google Maps Mobile, gvSIG Mini, Layar and others
