This document discusses considerations for designing maps and sharing content to mobile devices. It covers keeping map design simple, focusing on the user experience, and accounting for device and environmental factors. It also outlines workflows for authoring, customizing, and using mobile projects locally or web maps online. Intelligent web maps are presented as a new medium that can integrate services to simplify using GIS and enhance access and collaboration across devices through online sharing.

Sharing and Publishing to Mobile Devices David Cardella @dcardella
Agenda • Design considerations • Authoring intelligent web maps
Designing Maps for Mobile Devices • Keep it simple • Project considerations: - Goal of the project - Short and long term management of projects • Design for your users • Visualization, navigation, collection and updating
Map Symbology, Fields and Feature Types • Consider field user mindset - Stressful environment - Pretend no map legend - Simple, clear, familiar to the user • Exaggerate Contrast between map layers • Use Scale dependency - Drawing less is more • Use annotation for text - Labeling on the fly consumes battery • Feature Types = Data Dictionary - Keep the list short and focused - Descriptive naming - Simple Rendering
Device Considerations • Screen size and resolution - Form factor • Memory and storage space • Input method • Battery life • Connectivity • Built-in and peripheral devices
Environmental Conditions • Lighting - Bright sunlight - Low light conditions Sunlight washes out • Temperature Colors - Will your field staff be wearing gloves?
