I couldn't really provide an suggestions on devices. In that line I was referring to software that would allow you to specify the reference data and navigate against it. I'm not really familiar with the navigator product, but on the features page it does mention that "Future releases of ArcGIS Pro will support creating custom navigation maps.". You could probably log a case with support to determine about what this functionality would provide and maybe when it would be available. I spend more of my time in the "build your own application" space. In this space you could build applications for various devices (i.e. desktops with gps units (windows, mac, linux, ubuntu) or mobile applications (iOS, Android, Windows Phone)) that would allow you to better present this task to the user. For example, if I had to accomplish this I'd probably build an overhead display that leverages one of the following examples. Show device location (Consumed on Windows devices using .NET Runtime) https://developers.arcgis.com/net/desktop/guide/show-device-location.htm Displaying the location on a map (Consumed on iOS devices using iOS Runtime) https://developers.arcgis.com/ios/swift/guide/map-gps.htm In both of the above examples I'd probably have someone in the office or in the field drop some digital flags on the map that I could use to create lines or have them just draw the line on the map and then keep an eye on their position as they move around. This will never be as precise as mapping everything out on the ground, but it would keep you in the right area. ... View more

I think what you're needing is navigation software and not gps collection software. Most gps collection software won't be designed to be used while driving. You'll notice the point on the map bouncing around because the GPS Unit will constantly be updating where it thinks you're located based on dozens of factors (DOPs, number of satellites, coverage of satellites, and strength of satellite signal (i.e. do you have a unobstructed view to the sky), etc.). Typically most people would send out a survey crew to take time and accurately survey/mark the area. They would take the collected information and post-process it in the office (unless they have something similar to a RTK setup that is broadcasting corrections during the collection). This data could then be used within a device that supports navigation to help the "driver" stay on track. If you're wanting to do both at the same time, then your dozer operator may have to walk the trail a bit and mark where he needs to drive to ensure that they're staying on track. Otherwise you could have someone else walk the trail and then use the collected data within an application geared more towards navigation than gps collection. The only out-of-the-box app that comes to mind is Navigator for ArcGIS http://doc.arcgis.com/en/navigator/ Outside of this I would think you'd probably want to build your own application using one of the SDKs shown on the following site.

Is this a Python addin or a .NET Addin? ... View more

The steps on the following page are probably the easiest way to install pip other than upgrading python to 2.7.10, which comes with pip by default. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4750806/how-to-install-pip-on-windows/11311788#11311788 I've included a one minute video that shows how I leveraged the installers on the above page to install pip and then use it to install xlwt. ...

Would it be possible for you to upgrade to a version of the software that has the tool you're needing to leverage? Writing your own tool in this case is going to be a rather involved process. ... View more

You'll need to install pip against your 2.6 install to execute the command. You should be able to install Pip with the instructions on the following page. https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#install-pip Once you get pip installed you'd be able to use it to install xlwt. ... View more

This tool would not be available at 10.1. Your options would be to either install the needed python libraries on your 10.1 machine and use them in conjunction with cursors to build the excel table or you could export the table to a csv file and load it into excel from there. xlwt https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlwt Otherwise you'd need to upgrade to gain access to the TableToExcel tool. ...

the path to your input table is invalid. A dbf table will not have a sub-table. TestTable.dbf should be the name of your table and not TestTable.dbf\TestTable. Also, what version of the software are you using. I don't believe that the TableToExcel tool is available until 10.2.X or higher. ... View more

I believe you're running into a known issue. You'll want to unload your project and change the target to ESRI.ArcGIS.AddIns.11.targets in your csproj or vbproj. You'll also want to make sure that the version of the addin is the same as the version you're compiling against. ... View more

Nope, but I quickly put one together. Are you having a problem building the model? ... View more

Have you tried adding a message to the dialog to verify the name returned for your model? The values should come in as a string delimited by semi-colons. I would assume that most likely the quotes may be coming in if you have spaces in the strings and you need to strip them out. ... View more

Are you asking how to create data to build a network dataset against or are you asking how to create feature classes that will allow you to more easily import your analysis data (i.e. stops, destinations, routes, etc.) into an analysis layer? ... View more
