New iPhones are out...

Was just a little over a year ago that I shrugged at the release of the iPhone... Finally, they are coming through with some of the things I suggested quite a while back, primarily


  • True GPS

  • 3G data connection vs. EDGE

Almost as good as my AT&T Tilt now, but still doesn't run all of the mobile GIS apps I have.

    Hi David

    Are you going to the GIS Conference by ESRI in San Diego August 2nd?

    They expect a crowd of 12,000 - Do you know if anyone else is going?

    I found it listed here: Convention Center.

  2. Hi David,

    you might be interested in our GIS apps on the iPhone -- mostly geared towards geology and physical geography. So far we have covered California, Texas, New York/New Jersey/Connecticut, Florida, Washington/Oregon and Arizona. Colorado and Utah are next.

    A typical app has about 23 layers of data, including terrain, geology, bathymetry, hydrology, mineral resources, roads, earthquakes, etc...

    More info at our web site. We also have some videos of the app in action.
