33

Leica MobileMatriX Synchronisation of survey data Leica MobileMatriX supports a new and improved workflow for surveyors working in

the GIS industry.

Leica MobileMatriX supports disconnected editing of features and survey data for multiple users. That means features and survey data can be checked out from an ArcSDE GDB to a Personal GDB and edited while you are disconnected.

Later the new and edited features and survey data can be checked in and reconciled with the master database.

Benefits Maintain and improve the quality of features over time - accuracy is

maintained by the surveyor (the GIS operator does not need to know how to maintain accuracy)

Information, if a feature is mapped at the right location The survey data is synchronized while the features are (one process) and

archived in the enterprise database The database administrator or supervisor will be able to verify the field crew‘s

measurements Information about who measured what, with what equipment and at which

time
