Simple GIS Client Project Templates

• This tutorial will demonstrate the use of the Street Atlas project template to create a detailed routable and geocoded street map for a selected state on your local machine. The Street Atlas project template is great for creating a detailed street map on your local laptop or Windows tablet device for offline use and for GPS tracking and navigation.

• This tutorial demonstrates using the Address Mapping Project Template to batch geocode street address data from an Excel spreadsheet or CSV file into a new shapefile layer. The tutorial covers the available geocoding services availabe in Simple GIS, correcting addresses that could not be matched, as well as exporting the attribute data from the new shapefile to an Excel report with corresponding latitude and longitude coordinate generated from geocoding process.

• This tutorial demonstrates using the Territory Mapping Project Template to create and manage territories in Simple GIS Client. This tutorial will demonstrate creating a base layer used for assigning and creating territories. It will cover appending data from external data sources, such as sales data or demographic data from the US Census Bureau to your base layer. I will also demonstrate how to create your territory assignment layer, using your appended data to help manage and balance territories. It will also show how to export territory assignments to an easy to read Excel spreadsheet.

• This tutorial demonstrates using the Asset Management Project Template to map and model physical assets as a shapefile GIS layer in Simple GIS Client. Simple GIS also allows you to record maintenance and inspection activities and keep a historical log of inspection and maintenance activities for reporting. In addition, users can define maintenance and/or inspection cycles to report on inpsections or maintenance coming due. With Simple GIS, users can define special fields such as photos and linked documents that allow the capture of photos, videos, manuals, etc. as part of the asset record which is demonstrated in this video.
