GBM Portable        

GBM Portable delivers mapping and data entry capabilities on PC systems that parallel the environment seen on the PDA with GBM Mobile. GBM Portable supports full GIS mapping, GPS integration and the same custom forms capability as GBM Mobile. It operates on desktop, notebook and tablet PCs as well as the new Windows Ultra Mobile (UMPC) devices.

Easy-to-use interfaces assist project supervisors to tailor maps and information display. End user training overheads are very low.
