Tuesday March 6, 2012 - 1:30 to 2:45 pm

Co-administrators, Jamie Legsay and Carol Kennedy, have been using GIS to document the electrical network at Maui Electric Company. Their current challenge is to make the resulting information available digitally out in the field where it can be further verified and used by field crews. This enables the GIS Administrators to quickly respond to updates from the field, allowing changes made to the electrical network to be reflected in a matter of a few days versus weeks or months. They will discuss the hardware and software they have selected as a mobile solution. A demonstration of the way personnel interact with the technology will highlight the strengths and weakness of their mobile product.
