A visit with Ted Florence, President of Avenza Systems Inc on the exhibition hall floor at the Esri User Conference gives us a look at the company’s new, free app for the iOS. This is the first and only geospatial PDF application for Apple iOS devices including the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch platforms. Imagine taking an ortho photo, GeoTIFF etc… creating a GeoPDF (think PDF with intelligence), and having it available on your mobile device. The Avenza geospatial PDF app for Apple iOS will offer the following capabilities:
* Access and load maps through iTunes File Sharing and over a Wi-Fi or cellular network
* View your current location on the PDF map using the built-in GPS (iPad and iPhone only)
* Display the location of any point on the map in world units (latitude and longitude)
* Quickly view, zoom and pan maps using gestures (pinch, drag and flick, double tap)
* Optimized for fast loading and refreshing of large maps and spatial documents
* Record and export way-points and notes
* Measure distances
