ArcPadの「寿命」の終わり？やばい！

Question

<\/HEAD>私は2002年からArcPadに完全に依存してきました。CNMIのロタで空港滑走路の延長工事のためにフィールドワークを行ったときからです（ついに工事は完了しました！）。太平洋の島々のような場所、そしてハワイの多くの場所、実際には丘や谷などがあるすべての離島地域では、携帯電話のサービスはほとんどまたは全くありません。私はArcPadが必要です。ビジネスを続けるためにこのソフトウェアの古いバージョンを買い集めるべきでしょうか？おそらく多くのESRIの人たちは、私たちのようなハードコアなフィールドワーカーほどではないのでしょう。ストリートなどを扱う仕事はまったく別の生計手段です。Terrasyncに移行することも考えられますが、ArcPadはとても基本的で使いやすいのです！<\/P><\/BODY><\/HTML>

I agree BadElf makes some good value products.  I am not sure BadElf GNSS Navigator is part of the current product line.  The companies website lists:  GNSS Surveyor ($600), GPS Pro+ ($300) and GPS Pro ($200).

Eugene,

Esri is pretty good about keeping old things working, even though they have extended support through 2021 I would be surprised if it didn't keep working for you.  (Believe it or not, I can still run Arc/INFO under Win 10 [sort of, the help does not work anymore] ArcInfo Workstation Guidance‌) - was just using it the other day to import old .dlg files : old school!  So what you have you can keep using.

But I do strongly encourage you to look into the new offerings, the field apps that work with AGOL over the last three years have been updated to really well off line using onboard GPS (all iPhones have one) and higher accuracy external GPS (by bluetooth) (including basemaps) - you can disconnect and work without internet connection and when you get back in service everything synchs up. One positive development I just heard of is that they are looking at consolidating the many different apps into one with more features. You may need some new hardware but some of the new stuff is so awesome and easy to use with these apps, for example BadElf GNSS Surveyor (1-2m for $600) or their new BadElf Flex which can give you cm accuracy from a $3K device anywhere (except the polar areas).
