BGS<strong>·</strong>SIGMAmobile main form with all features visible.

BGS·SIGMAmobile2012 is the third release of the BGS digital field data capture system, designed to run on rugged tablet PCs with integrated GPS units.

The system consists of heavily customised versions of ArcMap 10 and MS Access 2007 along with additional software to provide functionality such as sketching.

The BGS does not supply ArcMap or MSAccess as part of BGS·SIGMAmobile. It requires an ArcEditor licence to run.
