Abstract

Nowadays the mobile mapping which incorporation with handheld PDA devices
for field data collection is rapidly expanding it wings of Geographic Information
System (GIS). While the wireless technology is increasing through time, the usage
of mobile GIS has become a very useful tool in any organizations and companies.
The introduction of mobile technology actually has resulted in the fundamental
paradigm which shifts into the integration of a centralized GIS database engine
and other web presentation formats with the mobile data collection units. For
mobile mapping, the lightweight GIS application ArcPad and small portable
computers such as for example; the Compaq PocketPC are a viable option for field
GIS. ESRI® ArcPad™ software is a mobile mapping and geographic information
system (GIS) technology. Mobile computing is creating fundamental changes in the
way we utilize geography with the ability to bring your work with you and interact
directly with the world around you. Mobile GIS comprises the integration of four
technologies: GIS, lightweight hardware, the global positioning system (GPS), and
wireless communication. Here it emphasis the research on the GIS, more on
focusing on the GIS in the mobile environment. It presents the idea of applying
GIS concept in tracking route where mobile GIS will combine up with GPS as a
tracking movement coordinate tool. The Sashimi Model is used as a guidance to
monitor the project progress. The methodology is suitable as it stresses on both
side which is the requirement side and the implementation side. A simulation of
route tracking system would be presented as the findings of the while research.
Further more the simulation present the idea of the real-time tracking the route
using data output from the GPS receiver.
