Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for mobile devices support the modern agricultural manager with mobile farming. Management of arable areas and storage of data sets such as yield results or fertiliser inputs and data can be efficiently processed and made available on site at any time. Areas can be measured with GPS support and the parallel driving assistant, two more factors in favour of using mobile hardware solutions in this area.

Mobile and robust Tablet-PCs are becoming more and more standard equipment for forestry and agriculture. Normal notebooks and PDA solutions have only limited use in the field because of the difficulty in using them in many cases. The most important factors in the use of mobile devices are ergonomics and high readability.

Here the colibri guarantees outstanding readability with its large display and the unique reflective technology. This is very important when working with large quantities of data, such as air photos, area maps or topographical maps, because it is often necessary to check and correct small sites or fine details.

Large RAM and ample memory are also necessary for forestry inventories with their many attributes for area and individual trees.

The extreme robustness of the colibri is another important feature for working in the field in any weather conditions, such as outside mapping for forest ecology.

The colibri runs standard office applications and also runs specialised software with the active pen. The large number of ports make it easy to use peripherals such as GPS receivers and many more.
