Learn how to develop your own HTML5 GPS data collection applications that work like a native app on your mobile device. While there are many canned options available for mobile data collection that may meet your needs, there are many times when it may be more cost–effective to develop your own.
Cost – Even if your needs are simple many commercial applications require monthly per–user subscriptions, often in the neighborhood of $30–$50 per month. For 1 or 2 users that may not be much but with 50 users it quickly becomes cost effective to write your own.
Customizability – Commercial on–programming solutions tend to be one–size fits all. Although they may have some flexibility, it is not uncommon for many applications to need functionality that is not available. Writing your own mean that if you can envision it you can implement it. Often you can implement it faster than you could in a on–programming solution even if it is available.
Real–time data access – The techniques taught in this course access a PostGIS database directly so that any changes that are made are available immediately to any other client applications whether they be desktop GIS like ArcGIS or QGIS, other web applications, or other client software such as a spreadsheet program, etc. This also means that there is no time wasted transferring data from device to server, etc which may save hundreds or even thousands of man hours in large data gathering efforts and avoid a large source of errors.

I have taken several of Michael’s courses. He does a great job of taking the technical and applying to real world situations.

The instructor goes into super detail about using Leaflet and PostGIS in a way that only those that have worked with the code, and tools could communicate in this way.

I wish there were instructions for setting up the data and everything else for the class so you get going with minimal effort. I didn’t take the previous course and would like to have everything included in this course. It is very frustrating.
Gary Greene –
Good match, exactly the information I was looking for.
Marios Makrides –
excellent!!
Timothy Schofield –
The course starts with letting you know that you HAVE to have purchased a previous CMS course to start. ALL Miller has to do is to give a database set up file so that the CMS section can be set up efficiently and this could be avoided. As it stands I have to decide to do the sucker punch purchase or sift through the code to set up the DB. I’ve gone from excited to seriously annoyed.

The course provides a lot of information about how to set up a mobile gps system. In spite of the some difficulty at the beginning in setting up the database info because the course did not supply the information I managed to overcome these obstacles. The course has a lot of detailed information for anyone looking to understand mobile gps systems so well worth taking.

This Course is amazing I learned a lot of things about Mobile GIS, which are very useful for my work. Thanks a lot Mr. Miller
