Advantages:• Prepare a customized user interface with ArcPad

Application Builder (creating forms)• Configuration file in xml (editable with text Editor)• Export in the same format as the ATBI guidelines

(external data tables) (see www.atbi.eu)• Easy exchange of authority lists (e.g. lists of species)• Supports *.jpf files as background maps

Disadvantages:• Expensive; for each mobile device is one licence

necessary • No good documentation available• For creating forms is the Application Builder

necessary → cost intensive

Advantages and disadvantages of ArcPad
