I Can Use SuperPad to…

All the new or enhanced functions described above are taking SuperPad 2 as the foundation to further enhance and improve in user-friendliness, flexibility and functionality. SuperPad can be a good assistant to do the field surveys, and its mobility feature makes it easily portable and flexibly used, which will help you complete the tasks more efficiently.

The Mobile GIS, SuperPad 10, will assist you to do many tasks as below:

View the Existing Layers

SuperPad 10 supports various types of layers, such as vector and raster layers.

Supported Feature Layer: Supergeo GEO (*.geo), ESRI Shapefile (*.shp), DXF(AutoCAD,*.cad).

Supported Raster Layer: MrSID (*.sid), ECW (*.ecw), JPG(*.jpg), SGR(SuperGIS Raster,*.sgr), GeoTiff (*.tiff), JPEG 2000(*.jpeg).

Browse the Map

Various methods provided by SuperPad 10 facilitate you to view the files freely. You could set up labels to mark some specific attributes or set up the waypoints to navigate with GPS. Or you could use Zoom In, Zoom Out or Pan tool to further view the area desired to understand. Also it offers Rotate Map tool to rotate map.

View the Attribute Data of Files

Through the Identify tool, you only need to tap on the feature, and then the related attribute data will reveal; or it will open the related exterior information or file on the screen immediately by the function of Hyperlink to promptly offer related message for you. Thus, you do not need to search information. As you are editing features, you can zoom in the editing feature to the map center for easier viewing and help you precisely edit.

Measure Distance and Area

With the tools of Polyline Measurement, Freehand Measurement, Rectangle Measurement, Radial Measurement and Feature Measurement you could measure the distance and area.

Connection of SuperPad and GPS

As SuperPad and GPS are connected, you could use GPS to help navigation and orientation based on the existing layers. Even you could edit the features through GPS. And the GPS Tracklog Record function provides many diversified applications. For example, you might convert the tracklog file to GIS file and display on SuperPad or other related GIS software.

Edit the Layers

Through SuperPad 10, you could not only view or search your layers but also you could edit the layers. To Point layer, Line layer or Polygon layer you could use stylus, mouse or even by capturing GPS position to create or edit features, and you could also edit the spatial reference and attribute. As a result, all the properties of the features are totally under your control.

Camera Function

SuperPad 10 supports PDA's Camera function. As GPS is open to take a picture, SuperPad 10 could record the coordinates of the position, date and time for you to manage pictures. Moreover, these pictures with coordinates are able to be used to create photo layers. The combination of pictures and GIS system will give better image concept of the real environment to users.
