Abstract:
1. A method for creating a flexible Geographic Information Systems (GIS) network, said method comprising: assigning a data dictionary comprising a definition of at least one desired GIS feature type to a mobile electronic device configured to determine its geographic position using an integral Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) device and wherein said definition of said desired GIS feature type was not originally intended to be recordable by said mobile electronic device; determining that said data dictionary is not yet resident upon said mobile electronic device: automatically uploading said data dictionary onto said mobile electronic device using a wireless network; forwarding collected GIS data in real-time from said mobile electronic device wherein a GIS data collector application initiates automatically sending the collected GIS data via said wireless network in response to an indication to save the collected GIS data on said mobile electronic device; storing the collected GIS data on a data storage device of a storage and forwarding system; and automatically deleting the collected GIS data from said mobile electronic device in response to a confirmation message from said storage and forwarding system.
