Points of InterestThis system is not a Tom-TomDoes not give turn-by-turn directionsSimply a navigational toolEffectively taking the place of paper tax maps in the field, but betterGives more confidence to field staff (the GPS shows where they are no question)Very cost effectiveFor less than $1,300 (cost of many laptops)Can be created and updated in-house by your GIS staffCan be customized to your specificationsExtensive customization requires programming skillsCan be made as complex as you want Will work with ArcGIS Server and geo-services
