Efficient replication of geospatial data for mobile GIS in field work

Abstract

Replication of geospatial data for mobile GIS in field work is important because it allows field workers access to geospatial data even in situations when a server providing that data is unavailable. Due to limitations of mobile devices, it is important to create a specific data set for each specific task. In this way, mobile GIS can always maintain the highest level of performance. This paper presents a module for efficient replication of geospatial data, as part of a previously developed GIS architecture.
