We recently upgraded a to an ArcSDE Server based Geodatabase. I want to be able to sync straight to my server with data from my field data from GPS. I don't have Pathfinder or Terrasync, just ArcPad.
I am having trouble figuring out how to get my feature classes on to my Trimble GPS so I can field edit, then get data exported back in to SDE.
Does anyone have any experience with this combination of hardware and software?
The ArcPad help page, What is Synchronization?, covers how to do this. It can be a little tricky to get everything set up initially, but then it works really well. Good luck!
You should be able to use the ArcPad Data Manager toolbox to manage porting your data to/from ArcPad.
