[Qgis-user] Mobile GIS?

[Jan Becket]

I also needed a way to easily access QGIS from my mobile, an iPhone in my case. A nice solution turned out to be the free version if iGIS, which I believe is also available for Android devices. If only a one-way communication is needed, then almost any decent GPS application will work. Most produce exportable GPX files.

The nice thing about iGIS is that it imports and exports points in shapefile format, which can also be edited in QGIS and sent back to the mobile device. Currently, QGIS is reading several point shapefile files located in my Dropbox folder, which is automatically updated in the iPhone Dropbox folder. Since iGIS imports directly zipped files from Dropbox, the communication is as seamless as it is going to get - without a QGIS mobile app.

best,
