Jeff LeProwse built an applet for ArcPad commonly known as the AddXYZ applet in the ArcPad/Trimble/GPS communities. I had a colleague ask me if it was possible to hook into the GPS controller of a handheld running ArcGIS Mobile and populate certain fields like X, Y, Z, PDOP, HDOP, etc...
This was a very handy applet that allowed the admin to collect valuable information regarding the quality of a GPS point. Is there any way to do this out of the box with ArcGIS Mobile. I would think ESRI might have built something in to recognize certain fields names and populate them with information. In other words, a reserved field name for GPS collection.
If not then would ESRI consider building this into the ArcGIS Mobile Application and providing the user with a field map of what the fields should be named, and what type the field should be in the geodatabase? I think a review of what Jeff LeProwse built would be an excellent addition to ArcGIS Mobile. I have had a few colleagues ask if this is possible so I know there is interest for it. I can provide names and contact information if you would like. I have 4 that I know of right now who are very interested in this functionality and I am sure they are not alone.
So for the poll, my question is this;
Would anyone else like to see certain field autopopulate with GPS information like X, Y, Z, Lat, Long, PDOP, HDOP, etc...?
