Carlson GIS360 is easy-to-learn and -use mobile field GIS-GPS tool that utilizes both GIS and surveying technologies for field data collection. Available around the globe and designed for use by a wide variety of industries including forestry, land development, maintenance, archeology, and utility construction or maintenance, Carlson GIS360 does not require knowledge of surveying or GIS terms or their methods. Carlson GIS360 provides a wireless connection to any map server of choice, so users are never without a map. This saves considerable time and effort as field crews can verify that all of the data collected is accurate before leaving the site. No costly site revisits are necessary and no office work is needed. The software’s "cloud” options mean that users’ data is always backed up with the ability to share between field and office in real-time. GIS360 goes beyond just positioning as it also includes a wide range of tools for Mobile Workforce Management, GPS data collection, tracking and asset maintenance. Utilized on an Android tablet, smart phone or small handheld computers, Carlson GIS360 can take GIS data anywhere. The built-in GPS and compass instantly calculate what the user is looking at and finds the data automatically. Not only can data be imported directly from an office GIS, then used and edited it right where it’s needed most, but Esri Maps, Google Earth, Bing or any other  mapping service can be accessed right in the field and to see everything right on the map as data is collected.
