Field site data gathering and reporting system and method

摘要

A system and method of reporting and displaying field survey data related to particular features located at remote sites that includes generating GPS data related to a feature with a handheld device, generating at least one image of the location, entering text data related to the location on the handheld device, and uploading the GPS data, image and text data into a database located at a central location. The photograph can be optionally transferred wirelessly from a camera to the handheld device. In particular, the transfer can be on a wireless network (WiFi). Data can be post-processed at the database location before entry into the database. GIS maps and reports can be made from the processed data for use in a project. These maps and reports can be placed on a web server for access by authorized personnel. The maps can contain an aerial photograph of the remote sites with symbols representing features overlaid on the aerial photograph. Each feature on the map can be linked to the GPS data, image data and text data related to that feature.
