What's New in ArcPad?
ArcPad 8 is now available and includes new capabilities, performance improvements and quality enhancements. ArcPad Studio, the development framework to customise ArcPad, is now included with every ArcPad 8 licence.
With the release of version 8, ArcPad has become a maintenance-based product, enabling you to subscribe to annual maintenance to get ArcPad updates and technical support.
Enhanced ArcPad Data Manager Extension
Overview
The ArcPad Data Manager extension gives you more options when preparing data for ArcPad. Users can configure an ArcPad project for repeated use with geoprocessing tools, or author an ArcPad project for publication to ArcGIS Server for subsequent use in ArcPad.
Improved GPS User Interface
Overview
The GPS position dialog has been replaced by the new GPS status bar, which is a translucent toolbar that appears at the bottom of the map screen. It shows much of the same detail from the previous position dialog, but now uses colour visual cues to indicate the quality of the GPS fix.New User Interface
Overview
ArcPad 8 has a new look and feel with modern icons and toolbars that use less screen real estate than in previous versions. Toolbars can be docked, minimised and maximised by the user, and a new desktop tool called the ArcPad Toolbar Manager can be used to either modify the out-of-the-box toolbars or to create your own.
Synchronise Edits with the New ArcGIS Server ArcPad Extension
Overview
The new ArcGIS Server ArcPad Extension allows users to publish an ArcPad project to ArcGIS Server. Any device that can connect to the Internet (by cradle, USB, WIFI, or phone connection) can synchronise ArcPad edits directly with the enterprise geodatabase via ArcGIS Server.
