Field-Map LT

Field-Map LT is field data collection tool for pocket PC. It it is designed for foresters who need light-weight device for collecting tree data on statistical forest inventory plots.

Field-Map LT is running on Windows Pocket PC computers. Such lite and inexpensive pocket PC is ideal deal for working in rugged terrain where weight of device matters.
Field-Map LT is specially designed for statistical forest inventory.
Project management
  • Project is prepared by using Field-Map Project Manager in the same way like for Field-Map Data Collector
  • project definition is transferred from desktop computer to PDA using platform independent format (XML)
  • after data collection process is complete the Project Manager is used to import data back to desktop computer
Database structure
    Supported are these types of layers
  • point
  • tree
  • data (in relation one-to-one and one-to-many)
  • reference point
  • GPS reference point


  • For each layer can be defined number of attributes of these types
  • numeric (real, integer)
  • logical
  • alphanumeric strings
  • date
  • category – lookup list
  • submitted by electronic equipment (position, height, diameter, stem profile, ...)
Accessing project data
  • during field work the data of project is saved (manually or automatically) to fast internal database
  • for data transfer from/to desktop computer the XML data format is used
  • when opening a project the user can create a new one from XML definition or load semifinished project from internal database
  • when opening a plot the already measured plots are marked
Navigation to the plot
  • support for navigation using GPS and/or laser rangefinder + electronic compass
  • predefined or custom defined map projections and geotransformations
  • georeferenced raster image can be used as background map (map composition can be prepared using Field-Map Project Manager)
Measurement on the plot
  • support for circular plots with concentric circles or rectangular plots
  • measurement of
    position
    height (5 modes)
    DBH/diameter/remote diameter
    stem profile
    global position
  • supported electronic equipment
    laser rangefinder (+ scope for remote diameter)
    electronic compass
    electronic calliper
    electronic relascope
    GPS
  • hierarchical overview of data layers and their values
  • possibility to set default values for new map entities or records in data layers
  • data completness can be verified using tree overview window or by running automatic test
Possibilities of configuration
  • Field-Map LT configuration options include
    measurement work flow
    peripheral measurement equipment handling
    measurement modes (height, diameter)
    map coloring
