Easy To Use Interface • Real Time Position Display • Live Moving Maps • Pay As You Go Pricing

ProStar PointMan™ is web based data collection software specifically designed to take GIS operations out of the office and into the field. This unique functionality elevates the accuracy and efficiency of field data operations including recording new facilities and locating, verifying and rectifying inaccurate positions of existing facility locations. PointMan is easy to use and designed to run on a wide variety of computing devices including desktops, laptops and hand held hardware. The software supports the collection of points, lines and polygons in the field, and any associated attribute data required. PointMan field operations are synchronized to ProStar Online data repository in real-time for enhanced project management, productivity and quality control.

Pointman software is designed for companies that value real time project management of field operations. The software incorporates a number of unique features to make managing and gathering field data easier, faster and more efficient including; on-screen moving map interface allowing the operator to create a digital map and visually interact with the data collection process. This means that the operator can now collect, inspect, verify and even rectify field data and make attribute additions all in real time. Real time connectivity means that the field operations and processes can all be managed, controlled and measured remotely by project management personnel. Compared to other commercial systems, this dramatically increases worker productivity and data quality. Best of all PointMan offers a very simple "pay as you go" pricing model with no licensing fees.

PointMan integrates with widely utilized GPS/NMEA receivers and displays the satellites in view and the signal to noise ratio defining the satellites' heath in relation to the system position. PointMan makes use of all data present in the GPS receiver's data stream to establish, in real time, the accuracy of each position acquisition (fix) as it is received from the GPS unit. Since system accuracies, area coverage and availability are predicated upon GPS equipment; clients match the level of GPS receiver performance to the project requirements.

PointMan feature location coordinates are logged with the touch of a key, at intervals determined by the operator, or at points projected on the moving map, and standard or customer specific symbology is assigned to each point as the operator works. This unique 'field location' visibility makes field data gathering operations faster and more reliable, with fewer reconfirmation visits and rechecks. A memory component stores linear positions for interactive data collection. With this feature the operator can switch data collection modes between layers and object types such as linear, point and polygons. This function continues to store information related to the previous linear record such as attribute information and the last end-point coordinate position. The operator can collect multiple features and toggle back to the previous linear mode retaining the last position, without having to restart the linear segment.

Other Unique PointMan Features:

• Incorporates open standards defined by World Wide Web consortium, making the application adaptable and compliant with existing and future technologies.
• Integrates raster scans and imagery, including high-resolution aerial imagery.
• Interactive GIS data fields are presented through information displays, which include all attribute information collected in the field through user-friendly selection methods.
• Selectable GIS layers, turn off to de-clutter, turn on layers for more information, or selectively display only the layer(s) appropriate for the task at hand.
• Operator interacts with a data collection form, to add or revise elements in real-time.
